The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2109

The smell of books wafted from the inside, and I could vaguely catch the scent of dampness.

An abandoned bookstore. Sometimes, I really admired Nicky’s ability to find such places.

I walked in. There were still various books on the shelves, but some looked worn out, and dust covered the shelves.

I looked around but did not see anyone.

My brows furrowed slightly. I did not want to continue wandering farther inside but Nicky's voice sounded from somewhere, "I'm here."

I stopped, still hesitating whether or not to enter, but I was unable to refuse the chance to learn my mother’s secret. Even if Nicky was lying, I still needed to know where she came to learn of my mother.

Following her voice, I came to a small door next to the counter. There was a yellow curtain. I opened it and entered. I caught a glimpse of Nicky sitting inside. Seeing me, she stood up.

Compared to the mess outside, the inside was well organized. There was even a small bed, which may be where the former owner used to rest.

"How much do you know about my mother?" I went straight to the point, not wanting to waste time.

She turned her gaze toward me, and there was confusion in them. Nicky shrugged and let out a laugh. "Looks like you’ve become stupid after giving birth. You’ll believe anything."

I frowned, my expression frozen. I had been fooled. "Why did you know to lie to me about my mother? Who told you about her?"

Nicky blinked. There was a smile hidden in her strange gaze as she shook her head. "I won't tell you since you want to know. Anyway, you won't be able to get out today."
