A few weeks have passed since Arabelle's mom has taken the potion to break the curse. Although the curse still lingers, she's recovering. Her skeleton-thin body is slowly getting better. The dark circles below her eyes are also fading and are almost gone. She feels and looks a lot better now compared to before. Arabelle is still worried about her mom though. The curse is still there according to Armand. The potion only made it dormant for now.
That's what Arabelle is thinking whenever she looks at her mom. The curse might still harm her and it can be worse next time. It can only be stopped after the descendant meets his end. But how can she just end the life of a stranger? It's not something a girl like her can do easily. Maybe she can find a spell for that instead of meeting the descendant. Whenever Ralph visits, that's the only time she can relax and feels genuinely happy.
"How's your mom?" Ralph asked her when he saw her at the door while opening it for him.
