Chapter 52 -52: Your Unborn Child
“Ah…” Delilah’s mother couldn’t help but let out a soft cry, her eyes revealing panic.
Scarlett Jennings remained calm as three Yellow Talismans swiftly flew from her hands, wrapping around the paper lantern layer by layer, finally stopping the pulled fluorescence in mid-air.
Scarlett hadn’t even had a chance to catch her breath when she saw the Yellow Talismans originally wrapping the paper lantern turn into black ash one by one.
Her brow furrowed suddenly, and another three Yellow Talismans flew out to wrap around, while her two fingers seemed to clamp the fluorescence in mid-air, quickly guiding it along the red string into Delilah’s forehead.
At the moment the fluorescence fully entered Delilah’s forehead, the red string that had been connecting to the paper lantern disappeared instantly. Meanwhile, the paper lantern wrapped in six Yellow Talismans began to shake violently.
Delilah’s mother was so frightened that she didn’t even care to see how her daughter was doing.
Seeing the soul summoning was over, Scarlett Jennings raised her hand uncaringly, striking the paper lantern with a spiritual light, and coolly commanded,
“Behave yourself!”
The paper lantern seemed like it was slapped by an invisible hand, stopping momentarily, yet it refused to settle as it shook violently, wanting to get closer to Delilah.
Without hesitation, Scarlett pulled out a bundle of red string; the red string flew out and tied up the paper lantern into a ball of yarn.
Then she slapped another Yellow Talisman onto it, finally settling it down and stuffing it back into the backpack.
Delilah’s mother was dumbfounded.
“Oh, Master, is this…”
Could it also be her daughter’s soul?
“Inside this…” Scarlett began to speak but was interrupted by a raspy groan from the bedside,
“…Mom?”
Hearing this voice, Delilah’s mother suddenly froze, no longer caring about that ball of yarn, and swiftly turned her head to look at Delilah on the bed.
In the moment she clearly met her daughter’s eyes, Delilah’s mother’s heart, which had long since numbed over the past year, trembled intensely.
Her eyes almost instantly turned red.
“Delilah?…”
Delilah’s mother’s voice choked up as she rushed to the bedside, tears streaming down, “Delilah, you’re looking at me, you can talk… Delilah, my daughter, ooh ooh ooh…”
As she spoke, Delilah’s mother held her tightly, unable to hold back the tears any longer.
Delilah felt as if she had been dreaming; her face was filled with confusion and helplessness.
She didn’t understand why it seemed like she had merely slept, yet her mother looked as if she had aged ten years…
Scarlett Jennings, seeing the mother-daughter reunion, didn’t interrupt but instead exited the room, thoughtfully closing the door behind them.
Inside the room, the intermittent sounds of Delilah’s mother’s sobs and Delilah’s raspy consoling voice could be heard for quite some time before Delilah’s mother finally opened the door.
Wiping her tears, she seemed instantly invigorated, even if she still looked worn and aged, as if there was light in her eyes.
She approached Scarlett Jennings, expressing her gratitude once more before Scarlett accompanied her back into the room.
Inside, it was clear Delilah had also been crying recently. Her gaze towards Scarlett Jennings was complex. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
She recognized her.
She was… Isolde Garrison’s sister, Scarlett Garrison.
“Did Isolde send you?”
Having not spoken for a long time, Delilah’s voice was still a little hoarse; her eyes on Scarlett Jennings showed both a measure of defensiveness and fear.
During high school, Scarlett Jennings, despite attending the same school as Isolde, was in a different class. Yet Delilah had heard Isolde mention this “sister” in private.
