Chương 108: Bad News

The horses neighed, Danette waved at me from inside the carriage as it moved away, I smiled waving back.

"I'm so happy for her, an heir to the Heathcliff house is good news," Mother said in amusement.

"Yes I'm happy for her," I said as a feeling overwhelmed me.

"But I'm surprised you were able to tell she is with child"

"I'm confused too, I just felt a light and a presence, touching her belly I knew what it was"

"Is this perhaps an ability of a Silver-Haired, we did not know about?"

"It could be," I said with a shrug, but for some reason, I felt like it was more than that.

I turned to Mother, she still had a smile on her lips as she watched Danette's carriage retreat, my eyes saddened.

"You should eat Mistress, or you will get sick," Mint said.
