636.Chapter 636

"Caleb! Mom's here to see you! Caleb?" When Adeline pushed open Caleb's door and saw the frail, skeletal figure lying on the bed, her legs nearly gave out

beneath her.

"My son!" Adeline let out a piercing cry and stumbled to Caleb's bedside, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.

"Mom... why are you here?" The gaunt Caleb, barely recognizable, forced himself to wake up at the sound of his mother's voice.

"Caleb, what happened to you? That wretched... that Sophie! What has she done to you this time? It's only been a few days, and look at you-how did you end up like this?!"

Adeline almost cursed out loud, but the thought of Sophie's cruel methods made her swallow her words. She could only suppress her fury and hatred, her heart aching for her suffering son.

"Mom, don't talk about Sophie like that. She hasn't done anything to hurt me- she's saving me! If it weren't for her mystic arts, I'd probably be dead from the pain by now. Look at me, Mom. I'm fine now. I don't feel any pain at all... just a little tired. So... very tired."

'What kind of nonsense magic is this! Adeline was so furious she wished she could rip Sophie to shreds.

That wretched woman must have used some kind of parasite or poison on Caleb! She had already driven her precious son to the brink of death, yet somehow, she had him convinced she was his savior!

It was both infuriating and terrifying.

Adeline, a sheltered woman of the household, had no understanding of the sinister methods people outside could employ.

But little did she know, her angry suspicions were spot on.
