“What… what should we do now?” Zoran was anxious. He quickly headed toward the forest. He could not let anything happen to his godson.
Anything!
Everyone followed Zoran, except for Rachel and Susan.
Susan took a sip of tea. She lightly pursed her lips and asked, “Rachel, tell me the truth. Did you trick Darryl into entering the forest?”
Susan was not only great in Formations, she was amazing at reading others. Her instinct told her that it was Rache who led him into the forest. After all, Darryl was not an idiot. He must have had seen the sign, yet he still entered.
Rachel trembled in fear. How did her mother know?
She looked down and stuttered, “Mom, I…I did not.”
Susan put her cup down and pressed further. “Don’t lie to me. You blush when you lie. Why did you do that?”
Rachel bit her 1. Shehe could only confess. “Dad wants me to marry him, but I like Ewan. Mom, did I do anything wrong?”
Susan sighed. “Even so, you should not have brought him to the peach blossom forest. You know that no one could come out of there alive. You know your dad’s temper. If he knew what you did, he would have beaten you to death! ”
Rachel’s face turned white upon realizing her mistake. If her dad knew she was the one that killed Darryl, she was done for.
“Mom, are you going to tell dad about this?” Rachel asked timidly.
Susan chuckled. “I’ll keep your secret. But, you have to promise me that you’ll never do anything silly like this again. You got it?”
After all, Darryl was only a godson. Rachel was her biological daughter.
Rachel let out a sigh of relief as she hugged Susan and cried, “Thankyou, Mom!”
