Chapter 599 Noreen Showed Up


    Sylvia''s POV:


    I couldn''t struggle or break free from the grip. The one behind me was clinging to me with all their


    weight. My skin broke into goosebumps as the person''s smooth, icy skin touched mine.


    " Sweetheart, it''s not good to run around this way."


    The hoarse voice of a woman rang in my ears.


    Hearing that, I broke into a cold sweat.


    I clenched my fists, trying to remain calm. "Are you Noreen?"


    The woman responded with maniacalughter. She neither denied it nor gave me a direct answer.


    However, I wasn''t willing to give up. "Why do you have my mother''s photos? And what about the


    pendant?"

    The woman didn''t answer my question. Instead, she called my mother''s name in a strange tone that


    sounded sweet and intimate, which only seemed to increase my suspicion.


    ''Is she probably my mother''s sister?''


    "Why are you silent? Tell me!" I wasn''t in the mood for her silly games, so I demanded to hear the


    truth.


    The womanughed again. "Since Olivia hasn''t told you anything, I guess it''s still not the time for


    you to hear the truth."


    Her words infuriated me. The woman had been mysterious right from the beginning and testing my


    patience.


    Judging from her attitude, I could tell she wasn''t going to tell me anything.


    Therefore, I decided to ask her about the ckthorn pattern I had seen in the book. "Can you tell


    me about this? You wanted me to see this, didn''t you? Are you trying to remind me of something?"


    The woman remained silent for a while and suddenly burst outughing. "No wonder you are


    Olivia''s daughter. You are as smart as her."


    Then, herughter ceased abruptly. "What do you want to know? Tell me," she asked solemnly. "Is


    that thing on Rufus'' back the ckthorns? Did you do it?" I asked. Bile rose in my throat as I


    recalled the dream where I saw Rufus ensnared by the ckthorns. I realized it was perhaps this


    evil witch''s trick.


    I heard her sigh as she gently stroked my neck. "Don''t be anxious, Sylvia. Everything will be the


    same as you saw. Your dream wille true. What you believe is real."


    Her words enraged me even though I couldn''t understand what she meant.


    ''My dream woulde true? Does she mean Rufus would die?''


    "Nonsense!" I struggled to escape her hold. "What on earth do you want to do?"


    The woman loosened her grip on my shoulders and continued to hum without answering my


    questions.


    I quickly turned around in a desperate attempt to see her face.


    But all I could see was a figure in a ck cloak retreating swiftly.


    I tried to catch up with her but couldn''t.


    The stone chamber turned into an endless path. It looked like the figure in the ck cloak was


    mocking me, since every time I was about to catch up with her, she suddenly stepped back,


    maintaining a safe distance from me.


    All of a sudden, the wind stopped. The figure in the ck cloak teleported to behind me and gently


    patted my shoulder. She let out a weary sigh as if she was tired of ying this cat-and-mouse game


    with me.


    "It''s time to say goodbye."


    "How can I remove that thing on Rufus'' back?" I asked anxiously.


    Just then, I heard faintughter. "You already have everything you need to remove the curse."


    As soon as she said that, the ck mist grew thicker, and darkness consumed me. I couldn''t see


    anything. The dangerous aura soon disappeared altogether with the stone chamber. All I could hear


    was the sound of my heavy breathing.
