After she finished, Linda slowly lowered her head.
Stella exhaled quietly, her gaze remaining fixed on Linda's face.
For several minutes, she could not help but wonder if everything that had happened was simply fate or nothing more than a strange coincidence.
She had spent a good number of years believing herself to be completely human.
During those years, she had formed friendships, built relationships, and worked alongside people she had believed were ordinary humans just like her.
But everything had changed after she married Adrian. Her life had been turned upside down in ways she had never imagined possible.
The world she had once understood had become a complicated web of supernatural secrets, ancient powers, hidden identities, and destinies she could barely comprehend.
And now, every friend she had once believed to be human seemed to be much more than human.
They were all mysteries.
"Stella…" Linda called softly, snapping her out of her thoughts. "Are you okay?"
