Don’t you get a bit creeped out by the things she’s able to do? I mean, she can see things and do spells.” She visibly shuddered while vigorously rubbing her upper arms. “It’s a bit creepy… and scary.” He cocked his head. “Scary?

Who would tell you what happened to me and the child?" Alice's voice was filled with bitter hurt. "You're just a piece of garbage, and you don't deserve to call my child yours. You cared so much for Isha, and every step you took was designed to hurt me." Alice struck Jeffrey with a magical punch that sent him staggering backward.
