"Zerra?" Alaric sucked in a deep breath when he saw the white fluff tumbling to the door with unsteady steps.
How did his youngest daughter become like this?
When he turned to his wife, the look in her eyes mirrored his. Full of horror. She stuttered, "Zerra… h-how did she b-became like this?"
Alaric took one last look and recognized the snow-white fox in an instant. It was the same fox that had run toward him the moment he woke up.
At first, he thought he was hallucinating. The fox might be Cassias' pet, which might have gone loose, but the fox's strange behavior and how it kept looking at him with its clear eyes.
He didn't understand what her gaze meant back then, but now he did. Zerra was worried about them!
Before Zerra could stumble on her own steps, he hurriedly got out of the bed and scooped her up. He glanced around the hallway, slamming the door shut vigilantly. Then, he brought Zerra to his wife, who was looking at the sleeping white fluff in a daze.
