Chapter 10: Who Are You?

Leonard could see a thin back lying on the bed. The sun was already high, but the room was as dim as the dawn. The witch’s steady breaths echoed in the room. She must be sound asleep, he surmised.

He began to look around the room right away. His intention was clear: to reclaim the revolver that she had taken.

As he walked around the witch’s room nonchalantly, Eleonora didn’t even toss around. For a moment, Leonard looked down at her, sleeping.

Although it’s a very hard fact to admit, he cannot deny her stunning beauty. He often finds it hard to believe she’s an evil witch who has committed plenty of atrocious crimes.

Her eyes glistened blue and lips plum.

“I wish her temper mirrored her appearance.”

Leonard clicked his tongue and leaned over her. His eyes scanned rapidly and brushed the sleeping woman’s disheveled apricot hair.

He’s this close, and there’s no movement.

What happened to the witch who notices even a speck of dust on her vase? Eleonora Asil was a woman who had nothing to do with low blood pressure or anemia, but was rather too energetic to be indisposed.

Thinking so, he was about to stroke her hair.

“I’m here.”

The investigator stopped in his tracks, his arms frozen in the air.

Since when did a boy with black curly hair and dark red eyes sit on the window frame.

Leonard thought the baby looked a little older than this morning.

It can’t be.

The child spoke again in a rather harsh tone.

“If you touch Noah, you’ll pay.”

Noah? Is it Eleonora’s nickname?

The sun shone upon the face of the young boy, baring his charm. He jumped into bed and stood in front of her as if to protect her. Leonard swallowed a laugh at his cuteness.

He lowered his posture in front of the bed and sat down to be in eye contact with the child.

“What did you say your name was?”

“Not yet.”

“Not yet?”
