Chapter 62

Just as Abby lifted her hand to knock on the door, Mirella’s clear voice reached her ears as the door swung open from inside, leaving her stunned for a moment.

“You didn’t disappoint me,” the witch uttered, sounding too casual as if she had long expected her

visit.

The moment the door fully opened, Abby could see her sitting at the same table they sat at the day Abby came to consult her for the first time.

The girl took long strides to the said table as she dropped into the chair across from the witch.

“I know you have some questions,” Mirella prompted when Abby didn’t say anything even after she

entered the hut as the door closed behind her.

Hearing this, Abby didn’t have any doubts that Mirella had been indeed waiting for her.

Without wasting any more time, the girl immediately dived into the topic that was bothering her the most. “Do you know anyone named Calpin?”

“Calpin?” Mirella repeated after Abby as she raised a brow at her.

“My mother told me about him,” she elaborated a little, trying to make Mirella understand why she was hung up on this bedtime story her mother told her.

She explained how Riley implicitly warned her about this man time and again.

After she was done talking, Abby didn’t notice how she held her own breath as Mirella wouldn’t say anything but kept staring at her.

“So?” Abby started slowly. “Was it just a lullaby with no particular meaning?” She asked Mirella out loud when she couldn’t tolerate the suspense anymore.

And how surprised she was when the witch finally opened her mouth. “The man in your mother’s bedtime stories is a real person.”

“A real person?” Abby couldn’t help but repeat after her.

She thought about it a lot and was mentally prepared for both possible outcomes. One being Riley, Abby’s mother, just choosing a random yet single name for the bad guy in all her lullabies.

The second being her mother was talking about a real dark wizard who stopped at nothing to fulfill his own greed for power.

Still, when the witch confirmed that the person named Calpin was real, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes.

On the other hand, the witch still had this nonchalant expression on her face as she proceeded to
