Chapter 118: The First Prophecy

"What do you think of this?" Selene asked as she showed Inez a baking book.

"I am afraid that I cannot help you with this, Miss Selene," replied Inez with a soft smile. She looked at the innocent woman in the wheelchair and said, "I have no idea what the two women like."
