Supreme Magus novel Chapter 931

Chapter 931 Upside Down Part 3

’Is it because of one of my parents that Tista was born ill? Is it because of them that my baby almost died?’ Rena instinctively touched her womb, afraid of what could come out of it the next time she got pregnant.

Senton, instead, was quaking in his boots. He wasn’t afraid of Lith so much of being the only human in the room, afraid that one of the monsters hidden among them could harm his wife.

’I knew that there was something wrong in a runt six years younger than me who could scare the shit out of me with a simple glare. That thing must have replaced the real Lith years ago. It would explain everything.’ Senton thought.

"Do you have any idea how this could have happened?" Elina’s words derailed everyone’s thoughts.

Just like Rena, all of her instincts were telling Elina that was her son. She wasn’t afraid of who he was nor she believed even for one second that he would harm her. What terrified her were the consequences Lith’s condition might have on his future. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

"None. According to Faluel, either I am an anomaly or something inside my blood, our blood, Awakened." Lith looked Tista in the eyes while he spoke.

His older sister understood from his choice of words that Lith was warning her.

’I can’t believe he’s planned so far ahead.’ She thought. ’Lith didn’t warn me in advance to make me have a natural reaction to the news and allow me to play dumb in the case things go wrong.

’If becoming an Awakened makes the members of our family turn into hybrids, then I’m next. He has yet to mention being an Awakened so that if our parents disown him, I’d be safe as long as I keep my mouth shut.’

Her surprise quickly turned into outrage.

’I don’t know whether to be more insulted by the fact that he thought I could stoop so low as to abandon him or that he told Kamila first!’

Tista had yet to make a move or say a word because she was worried about Lith, but she didn’t miss how the Lieutenant was unfazed by the revelation.

"Why did you wait for so long before telling us? Was I such a bad mother that you thought I would chase you away just for this?" Elina’s eyes became veiled with tears.

She had no idea what she had done wrong to lose the love of her eldest sons, but her ignorance didn’t make her wounds hurt any less. Elina knew that Orpal’s unbound selfishness had forced her to disown him and that it had been Trion’s envy to drive him away.

Yet, as a mother, she could only blame herself for being unable to protect her children from those toxic emotions.

"I didn’t tell you because I already gave you plenty of reasons to worry all the time." Lith’s voice sounded like the wind howling inside an abyss. "Now, however, after what Faluel did for Rena and considering what she is going to do for me, I couldn’t lie anymore.

"I will spend a lot of time with her and I wanted to let you know why. I know that you’re not stupid, Mom. The moment you asked Jirni about her, you would have discovered that there is no Faluel among the known mages."
