"I’m here! Where are you?"
Standing at the castle gate, Ivy Kensington shouted loudly to the surroundings, but this time, there was no response at all.
She had clearly arrived within the specified time!
In the storm and lightning, Ivy faintly heard the sound of a baby crying.
She was stunned. Nun? Nun is in here?
In the next moment, Ivy didn’t care whether anyone responded to her words and quickly ran into the castle.
The castle had a spiral staircase structure, narrow and designed specifically for children.
Ivy, a grown woman, found moving up the stairs somewhat challenging.
She moved cautiously but was anxious about Nun’s situation, her heartbeat pounding uncontrollably in her ears.
The sound of Nun crying became closer.
With a final burst of energy, Ivy pushed herself up to the castle’s rooftop terrace.
In the wind and rain, Nun’s bundled figure appeared under a makeshift shelter just ahead!
Joy filled Ivy’s heart, and she immediately rushed toward Nun.
Nun had long been awake, the terrifying surroundings making her face turn red from crying, with her breathing nearly stopping.
Ivy felt heartache watching her.
"Nun, I’m sorry, child. I let the bad guys take you away..."
If she had been more careful, tonight might not have happened.
Perhaps sensing a familiar presence, Nun, whose throat was hoarse from crying, slowly calmed down.
Ivy noticed a bottle next to them.
It seems someone even fed the child...
For a moment, Ivy’s thoughts were muddled.
What on earth were they thinking?
They took Nun away but still considered she might be hungry and fed her.
Thinking this, she touched the bottle; it still had some warmth.
This meant that person hadn’t gone far!
Ivy’s heart, which had just started to relax, immediately tightened again. Updates are released by novel✦fire.net
Another sound of a baby crying echoed.
Ivy was completely taken aback.
Nun was now sleeping peacefully in her arms, so where was this crying coming from?
She looked up in confusion and suddenly!
At the edge of the castle’s rooftop terrace, stood a figure. Judging by the build, it seemed to be a woman, but her face was obscured by darkness and rain.
All she could see was the woman seemingly holding a child!
"Ivy, can you see? This is the daughter you’ve been thinking about."
The woman stood at the edge, her words carried by the wind and rain reached Ivy, who opened her mouth in disbelief.
Her baby should be at Veridia Maternity and Children’s Hospital!
How did she also end up here?
The woman seemed to think Ivy wouldn’t believe her and pulled down the child’s blanket, revealing the small body.
"Can you see? This is the monster you gave birth to!"
After speaking, the woman laughed maniacally; some of her insanity wasn’t captured by the voice changer, and Ivy heard her real voice.
This voice was so familiar...
But in such a tense moment, Ivy couldn’t immediately connect the voice to a person.
"Ivy, you have two choices: one is to save Claire Crowley’s child, but your own child must die!"
"The other is to personally strangle Claire Crowley’s child, and I’ll spare your baby!"
The woman calmed down after laughing, presenting Ivy with a dilemma!
Two babies, let’s see how she chooses!
