Chapter 701 The Real Cause Of Her Death


    Sylvia''s POV:


    When Noreen exined how the ck thorn grow bigger with love, I couldn''t help but think about


    the nightmare I had about Rufus being prated by sharp thorns.


    I trembled and grabbed the cor of my shirt, trying to calm myself down, but it was useless. I felt


    suffocated and couldn''t breathe.


    "When your mother saw the thorn forming on Leonard''s back, she cried and begged me to remove


    her from Leonard''s memory. As long as Leonard didn''tloveher anymore, he wouldn''t die."


    As Noreen spoke, there was a hint of remorse in her smile. "I ended up agreeing to your mother''s


    request. In exchange, she needed toe back and stay with me forever. But Olivia betrayed me


    again!"


    Noreen raised her voice all of a sudden. The resentment in her voice made her look like a ferocious


    beast. "I shouldn''t have softened my heart!"


    When Noreen suddenly lost control of her emotions, I instantly put my guard up and carefully


    stepped back. "How did she betray you?" Noreen didn''t answer me. Instead, she red at me as


    though she was looking straight into the eyes of an enemy she''d been hunting down for a long time.


    Her gaze sent a shiver down my spine, and goose bumps formed on my bare skin.


    Noreen took a step towards me. Then, she suddenly calmed down and looked at me with zed


    eyes as though I was an old friend whom she hadn''t seen for a long time.


    "You look just like her..."


    I knew she was talking about my mother, so I didn''t interrupt her.


    Noreen pulled at her robe, revealing my mother''s pendant on her neck. Her golden hair was as


    smooth and shiny as silk in the faint candlelight.


    "Do you know what it''s like to be hurt by those closest to you? It''s so painful that you can''t even


    make a sound. It''s even more suffocating than drowning," Noreen murmured to herself.


    In that moment, I could tangibly feel her hopeless loneliness. She was like an ancient well that had


    been abandoned for many years, lifeless and gray.


    "After I cast the spell, Leonard forgot everything about Olivia. I thought that she''d finally stay with


    me after that. But little did I know that your mother— that damned Olivia— would use my weakness


    against me!" When Noreen got emotional, her voice became high and shrill. She clutched at her


    heaving chest and her eyes turned red. "Your mother stabbed me right in the middle of my heart! I


    almost died! Even though I survived by luck in the end and finally recovered, seven years had


    passed! By the time I found her again, it happened to be the day she was executed!"


    Unable to take the pain and relive the day when


    I lost my mother forever, I interrupted Noreen harshly.


    "That''s enough! What''s the point of saying all this? No matter how much you hate my mother, she''s


    dead!"


    I couldn''t help but burst into sobs when I recalled my mother''s miserable and unwarranted death.


    Noreen threw her head back andughed like a lunatic. Her delicate features contorted, looking


    disharmonious, like work of art stained with ink. Her ghostly voice sent shivers down my spine.


    Even though every word she said was an usation against my mother, she was clearly very angry


    at her powerlessness.


    "I could''ve saved her if Olivia begged me to forgive her. And I would''ve forgiven her, but then I


    learned that she had already sacrificed her life in using the forbidden skill to seal the ck witch


    bloodline in your body. Even if your Gamma didn''t frame Olivia and executed her, she wouldn''t have


    lived for long."Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.
