Chapter 53 Phoenix

As they ventured deeper into the mysterious house, Camilla and Phoenix stumbled upon a room with an open door. Their curiosity piqued, they cautiously approached the entrance and peeked inside. The room was dimly lit, with only a faint glow emanating from a nearby lamp. Their eyes adjusted to the darkness, and they saw a woman standing in front of a crib, her back to them. The baby inside was crying loudly, its tiny face red from distress. The woman was smoking a cigarette, the smoke curling up towards the ceiling. Her long, dark hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of night.
