Chapter 1293
Crystal’s POV:
“Noreen’s soul is occupying Beryl’s body, so the real Beryl is practically dead.” Murray told me the cruel truth.
I didn’t want to believe it, and my disbelief quickly turned into anger.
“Beryl’s alive! she’s being controlled by Noreen. Can’t you see? If we have to kill Beryl to destroy Noreen’s soul, we might as well let them live together!”
“Calm down and listen to me.” With his hands behind his back, Murray took a deep breath. “When you were unconscious, the lycan king took me to see Beryl and Noreen’s burial place.”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
1 clenched my fists tightly but I didn’t say anything, waiting expectantly for him to go on.
“You’re the one who killed Noreen. You should know that she was very resentful when she died.” As he looked out the window, he squinted against the bright sunlight. “Strictly speaking, Noreen’s remnant soul must’ve been created by her resentment. It shouldn’t have been a big deal. The faint remnant soul would’ve disappeared three years after Noreen’s death. But unfortunately for you, you did something wrong.”
“What?” I frowned and narrowed my eyes at Murray in confusion.
“You buried Noreen’s remains in the wrong place.” Murray pointed at the table and wrote down two words: “Forbidden forest”.
“What do you mean? Why shouldn’t I have buried her in the forbidden forest?” I was even more confused. The reason why I buried Noreen in the forbidden forest was that I thought that its evil influence could suppress
Noreen’s soul.
Murray rubbed his temples and hissed almost exasperatedly, “Of course you shouldn’t have buried her in the forbidden forest. I know what you were thinking, but you should’ve known that once a certain limit is reached, a change in the opposite direction is inevitable.” I fell silent, recalling how I had buried Noreen’s body five years ago.
“The forbidden forest is full of dark and evil things. Although it could’ve suppressed Noreen’s soul, it could also nourish it. Beryl was born a

powerful black witch, but that’s precisely what made her an easy target for Noreen. Moreover, you and Beryl are related by b***d. When your b***d seeped into Noreen’s grave, it became a medium that gave this wisp of a remnant soul another chance at life.”
Murray’s words hit me so hard that my ears started to buzz.
“Then… what should we do now? Is killing Beryl really the only way?”
“I’m afraid so. Noreen and Beryl now live as one. If you want to kill Noreen, you’ll have to kill Beryl,” Murray said firmly.
I couldn’t believe my ears. My lips trembled and I could barely speak. “We can just let them live together. I’m not going to kill my own daughter I
• just can’t.”
Listen to what you’re saying. Noreen and Beryl might be sharing one body, but one soul will be more dominant than the other.” Murray sighed and shook his head helplessly.
1 buried my face in my hands and murmured, “No, no. This can’t be.
Beryl is strong. She won’t let Noreen take over! She has even taken back the control of her body for a short while today.”
“Yes, exactly. It’s only a short while. Sooner or later, Beryl’s soul will be exhausted, which will make it easier for Noreen to gain full control of Beryl’s body.”
Then what should I do? Is there really no other option? I can’t let Beryl die! I’m her mother!” I couldn’t help but burst into tears.
“Bervl is sO young. She hasn’t seen the world yet. I can’t let her die. It’s too cruel.” Murray fell silent for a long time. After what felt like an eternity, he asked in a low voice, “Are you going to let Noreen’s soul grow stronger? Until one day, Noreen takes complete control of Beryl’s body? When that day comes, war will break out between the werewolves and the black witches.
Sacrificing Beryl is the only way. If you want to succeed, you can’t afford to be softhearted.”
