Sylvia's POV:
I straightened up and peered intently into the crystal ball, fearing I might miss something.
After days and nights of speculation, I could finally get the truth about what had happened that day. But much to my disappointment, I couldn't hear any sound from the crystal ball and could only see the pictures.
The argument between Leonard and Alina went on for quite some time. Leonard seemed to want to call someone in, but no one came in.
Alina, on the other hand, began to behave strangely. She no longer respected Leonard like before and even forced him to drink the soup.
I could see that Leonard didn't want to drink that bowl of soup.
Seeing this, Rufus and I exchanged meaningful glances, both feeling that something wasn't right.
In the pictures, Alina was cleaning up the shattered shards of the bowl in silence. Leonard seemed to feel bad as he kept staring at Alina's back. It looked like he wanted to say something but chose to remain silent.
I understood Leonard's stubborn character. He probably felt too ashamed to apologize.
I held Rufus' hands tightly and stared at the crystal ball without blinking.
After a while, disagreement rose again between Leonard and Alina. Shocked and in disbelief, Leonard trembled and staggered back.
I was intrigued about what Alina said to get Leonard so worked up.
But Alina stood with her back against Leonard.
Suddenly, the images turned dark. A familiar plume of black smoke sprang up behind Leonard.
"Noreen!" I blurted out the name without a second thought.
