I stayed at the manor upon returning from the hospital.
My days spent there were quite pleasant. I either taught myself to cook or spent time playing with Abby.
However, the night brought with it my biggest challenge, which was facing Caleb.
My feelings for Caleb were complicated. On one hand, I remembered nothing of our past together. I had also seen him with another woman, which had caused me to keep my distance from him.
Yet I couldnt deny the effect his handsome face and chiseled abs had on me.
I seemed to lose my breath whenever I was around him, and I found myself missing him when he wasnt around.
These conflicting emotions tortured me every day.

Watching Abby grow into a beautiful, happy child seemed to make lifes difficulties but a trifle.
I watched Abby playing in the garden and couldnt help smiling to myself.
Turning to Nora, I said, Thank you for taking good care of Abby. I really appreciate it.
Its nothing. I just want to see you and Abby happy and safe, Nora replied.
Her words moved me, and I said, If theres anything I could ever do for you, dont hesitate to let me know. Ill do my best to make sure it happens.
Nora smiled shyly. Youve already done enough for me. I might not be alive if it werent for you. I owe you all I have, so taking care of Abby is the least I can do.
She gently caressed Abbys cheek. Besides, Abby is an adorable kid. I love spending time with her.

.
In that moment, I felt confident in my decision to entrust Abby to Nora when I heard the sincerity in her words.
Nora paused hesitantly, then asked, Will you remain permanently in the manor? I want to be near Abby and watch after her.
I paused thoughtfully before I offered her a response. I cant guarantee Ill remain here, but if I do decide to leave here one day, I can take you with me.
Noras face fell at my words.
Noticing the change in her mood, I asked, Would you leave with me?
Nora sighed, then said, Ive been with the witch clan all my life. I dont know anywhere else but here. Im used to being here.
Theres no hurry to make that decision. Take your time and think it over properly. Even if you decide not to come with me, Ill do my best to ensure youre happy with the witch clan, I said reassuringly.
After a moment of silence, Nora asked quietly, Where would you go? Ive never been far from here. The world is a scary place.
I patted her hair comfortingly and said, You dont have to worry about that now. Im not leaving anytime soon.
I immediately regretted what I said. I shouldnt have asked her to come with me. I should have just thanked her for taking care of Abby.
