Operation Screwing (I)
Another hour later, as June recovered from the backlash of poison, Stina "unknowingly" slipped about Ashlyn's condition, lamenting about the poor fate of the daughters in the family.
"Ashlyn's lifeforce is rapidly dwindling?!" Zed asked, horrified.
Ashlyn remained silent as if it has nothing to do with her. Stina further broke down in tears, begging God to exchange her life with her young daughter.
Seeing her condition, Hansen stepped up and rubbed his wife's back, requesting her to stay strong. He then nodded at Zed and said, "You are a part of the family so there's nothing to hide. My daughter is what the world calls Cursed One, but there's nothing cursed about her! She's a blessing! But… her condition is such that it would be a miracle if she could live past three months!"
Zed staggered back, the news hitting him like a bolt of lightning. Through the tears, Stina observed him.
