Her fluffy head buried in his chest, tears dampening his clothes.
“Damon, big sister is so scary, my heart is pounding, I can barely breathe.”
Then she gasped, collapsing dramatically into his arms.
Of course, I saw through Seraphina’s terrible acting,
but I knew Damon wouldn’t believe me, and I was too tired to expose her, so I just let her keep slinging mud at me.
What I hadn’t expected was that Damon would go to such lengths for her.
“Seraphina! What’s wrong?”
He frantically checked on her, his hands running over her until he touched her icy–cold hand. His face instantly contorted with fury!
“Anya Reed! I told you, stop bullying Seraphina!”
“It’s just a miscarriage, you’ve been cultivating for so long, nothing bad could happen to you! Why scare Seraphina like this?!”
The urgency in his voice wasn’t faked; it just wasn’t for me.
His dismissive tone pierced my heart.
Turns out, my blood pooling on the floor mattered less than Seraphina’s cold hands and feet.
“Where’s the doctor? Someone! Take her heart’s blood to draw talismans for Seraphina’s peace of mind!”
Damon declared with absolute finality.

My heart leaped in shock,
Owed by overwhelming despair.
In my previous life, Damon had used talismans drawn with my heart’s blood to stabilize himself.
Because my second sight had been transplanted into his eyes, he was able to see other things.
Back then, right after his surgery, as soon as they removed his bandages, he was terrified by the spirits before him.
No matter how carefully I tried to comfort him, he remained utterly spooked.

Left with no choice, I sacrificed some of my cultivation and took my heart’s blood to draw talismans to calm him.
Though it had gravely weakened me, at least I survived.
But now, I had just miscarried and was already bleeding profusely.
If they took more blood for talismans, I might actually end up in the underworld.
