Chapter 88 Permission (1/2)

”Living...Together?”

Sylvia repeated the words in confusion, clearly stated on her face. Sheila nodded her head in response before opening her mouth and said.

”Yes, it's very clear that if you keep staying at your current place, your 'mother's won't stop her action even though now she has already out of reach from the evil spirit's influence.”

Sylvia stares blankly in silence while slowly trying to process Sheila's words in her mind. To be honest, Sheila didn't expect her mother to abuse her daughter even after she had purified the evil spirit. Sheila had thought the cause of it was from the evil spirit, but it didn't seem as simple as she initially thought. When Sylvia finally understood that Sheila is serious, she shook her head before saying. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”But she's still...my mother, the one who gave birth to me. No matter...what she did to me, I...could still handle it.”

”I know, but think about it. Currently, she's abusing you with brute strength, but once she's used to it, she would likely do something worse than this in the future. To be honest, I would have sent a report to the police if I didn't care what happens to your mother. But I did tell you, I was going to show you the way, right? Believe in me.”

Sylvia furrowed her eyebrows while listening to Sheila. Sylvia knows that the loving mother of the past has long disappeared after her parents divorced. But even so, she took the abuse silently while hoping that one day, her mother would open her eyes and became the loving mother that she used to be. But that hope slowly being chipped away as the day goes on while she suffers the abuse both at home and bullying at school. After the hope in her heart shattered into nothingness, she decides to commit suicide but ended up being saved by the girl in front of her. Looking up, she could see that there's worry deep in Sheila's eyes.

Should I believe in her? Believe in the girl in front of me to leave the house? The question repeatedly appears in her mind. Sheila has a point in what she's saying, but I still couldn't help but worried about what's going to happen to my mother if I leave her alone. Sheila seems like she could understand what Sylvia is thinking as she smiled before putting her head on top of the small girl's head.

”Did I ever say that you couldn't visit her? I didn't, right? If you're worried about her, you can still stop by from time to time.”

”Then...I..”

After exiting the Trial Tower, Sheila put her weight on the bed before a sigh escape from her mouth.

”I don't understand why the girl still worried about that woman even after what she had done to her. I don't know if she's too kind or idiot, but thankfully she agrees.”

Even though she had invited the girl on her own, she still needs to ask for permission from her parents. They will likely give their agreement if they know about the reason why she wants to bring her here. But the problem is... Ria. When Sheila thought of that, she couldn't help but feel her head aching from the headaches. She didn't know why but it appears that the two didn't get along well. Whenever the two met each other, there would be spark while glaring at each other without saying anything.

She remembers it all started when Sylvia said something ridiculous back then, which caused Ria to be on defensive mode for some reason. After giving the skill to Sylvia, Ria urged her to leave together right after Sheila had finished explaining the skill to the silver-white haired girl. She would likely get upset again when she heard the news of Sylvia coming over, but Sheila had to do it, or it would become troublesome later on if Sylvia continues staying at that hell hole only to be abuse. She had promised to the girl, after all.

With that in mind, Sheila gets off the bed and exits her bedroom before heading downstairs, towards the living room. As she had expected, her mother is currently sat on the couch while watching the drama on the Television as she took a sip on tea once in a while. Her father, Anthony, is currently reading a newspaper by her side. Feeling her presence, Sara turned back and saw her daughter walking toward her.

”Oh? Are you not playing games in your room like always?”

When Anthony heard Sara speaking to Sheila, he looked up and only stares at his daughter for a few seconds before continuing reading the newspaper. Sheila sat next to her mother before opening her mouth said.

”I have something to tell you, Mom. Um...”

”Hmm? What is it?”

Feeling the stares coming from both of her parents, Sheila couldn't help but gulped a mouthful of saliva while putting her hands together. Maybe her mother could feel that Sheila was nervous as Sara put her hand onto hers with a smile on her face.

”I invited a friend of mine...”
