Chapter 1556

Facing Sophie's inquiry, Caelum shared, "Sandy's mom was always frail, and her health took a nosedive after Sandy was born. She was in and out of hospitals, and I was constantly trying to figure out an escape from The Silent Shadows. They made it clear that leaving would cost me dearly, maybe all my status or my wealth.
