Chapter 79

• Celine did not speak for a moment after Helena’s words.
• She simply stood there, staring at her daughter as if she was seeing someone she did not fully recognize anymore. Helena’s face was calm, too calm for someone who had just suggested taking two lives like it was a simple task.
• For a second, Celine felt a chill run through her body. She had done many things in her life, things she never spoke about, but hearing her own daughter speak like this… it felt different.
