Chapter 203

Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Reunion with Witch Mother

Serena’s POV~

The room was quiet tonight. The soft glow of the moon poured through the window, silver light spilling across the floor. I was sitting at my desk, absently running my fingers over the rim of a teacup, lost in thought.

Everything had been too quiet today.

I had almost grown used to the stillness...until a sudden, sharp knock broke through it.

I looked up, startled.

Before I could even answer, the door swung open.

And in the next instant... I was pulled into a tight embrace.

The breath left my lungs as arms wrapped around me...warm, firm, and trembling with emotion. For a heartbeat, I froze. My mind went blank.

But I knew that touch. That scent. That voice.

"My baby," a soft, trembling whisper breathed against my ear. "I missed you so much... finally, I could see you again."

I blinked, my heart giving a painful twist. Slowly, I lifted my hands, resting them lightly on her back.

"...Mother," I whispered.

The Witch Mother pulled back just enough to look at me, her face full of love and relief. Her eyes shone faintly, the corners wet with tears she didn’t bother to hide.

She looked just the same...beautiful, composed, powerful. Yet in this moment, she looked like a gentle mother, but I knew better.

Her hands cupped my face as she smiled warmly. "You’ve grown even more beautiful, Serena. Just like I knew you would."

I forced a smile, soft and careful. "You always say that, Mother."

"Oh, because it’s true." She laughed lightly, brushing a stray lock of hair behind my ear. "You’ve been eating well, haven’t you? You look healthy."

Her voice was full of affection, every word wrapped in warmth.

And I played along. I smiled. I nodded. I answered her questions about my days, my health, my routine...all with the calm, gentle tone of a perfect daughter.

But inside, my skin was crawling with disgust.
