A mist blurred my vision, but I forcibly wiped it away.
After finishing the last dish, I turned upstairs to pack my things, only to be stopped by Blake.
"I forgot to tell you, I had your belongings moved to the guest room. The little girl has been pampered since she was young; she’s not used to sleeping in the north-facing room..."
A wave of unease washed over me. Without hesitation, I rushed to the guest room.
Just as I expected, no matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t find the protective sacred artifact my parents had left me.
Pale-faced, I rushed to Blake, reaching out to confront him.
"Blake, where did you hide my sacred artifact?"
"Alison’s been dreaming about the baby lately. I heard your sacred artifact works well, so she kept it to use for a few days."
"What? You owe her a life and now you can’t even give back a sacred artifact?"
Blake frowned with impatience.
Alison flustered, quickly pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket, trying to press it into my hand with a face full of apology.
"I’m sorry, Delilah. I didn’t know it was so important to you. I'll return it to you right now…"
