    Jos noticed Caleb’s sudden shift in demeanor. Fie nudged him and whispered, Jos’s possessive. If


    he finds out you have feelings for Skr, how do you think he’ll deal with YOURS


    Caleb grimaced. “I know!”


    Since leaming of Skr’s marriage to Joe, he’d forced himself to ept reality, relegating Skr to


    the friend zone.


    Just then, Skr and Joe entered. Alexander immediately beckoned Skr over. “Skr,e


    take a look at this bronze artifact.”


    Skr approached quickly. “Sure.”


    Joe followed closely behind, his long strides quickly bridging the gap. He acknowledged John with a


    nod. They’d just crossed paths a couple of days prior.


    Friends since childhood, they understood each other implicitly. A silent exchange conveyed


    volumes.


    Skr meticulously examined the artifact. The moment her hand touched it, a chilling sensation


    shot through her palm. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Her face drained of color. Horrific scenes shed in her mind.


    The artifact held human ashes–infants less than a month old.


    Skr took a deep breath,prehending the sinister essence of this object. It could


    unknowingly sap the life force of anyone who came into contact with it.


    The umted resentment of countless souls, potent and malignant, lurked within.


    Concerned by Skr’s pallor, Alexander furrowed his brow. He, too, sensed something


    amiss.


    “Skr, is this simr to Frank’s traditional dress or the porcin Annabelle got for


    restoration? Alexander asked, his voice trembling slightly.


    Skr’s heart pounded as she tightly nodded. “Even worse. Has your friend aged rapidlytely?


    Bedridden, with doctors giving him only a few months left?”


    She wondered who couldmit such atrocities and where they found these instruments


    of harm.


    Alexander’s face contorted. Skr’s words hit the mark. He remained silent; his gaze


    fixated on the bronze artifact. After a difficult swallow, he finally conceded, “You’re right


    about that.”


    “That’s seriously messed up!” Caleb blurted out, utterly astonished.


    Seeing Skr’s expertise for the first time, John shared his astonishment. He’d heard rumors about


    Skr’s abilities from Rowan and Paul, but they had always seemed fantastical. He had assumed


    she knew little of fortune–telling and metaphysics.


    But now, John’s eyes darted from Skr to Joe. His eyes widened as their eyes met. “Were you


    aware of how incredible your wife was from the start, or did you discover it along the way? Is that


    why you chose to marry her?”


    Joe was unfazed; his cool nce at John met with eyes full of silent questions.


    John cautiously backed away. Young as he was, he valued his life. He shuddered, grateful he


    hadn’t touched the cursed item. But Alexander’s prolonged exposure made him nervous. He turned


    to Skr, his voiceced with concern, “Will this affect my dad?”


    Skr furrowed her brow in thought. “It will have an impact.”


    Even indirectly, Alexander’s prolonged exposure to the artifact would undoubtedly take its


    toll.
