Selma Payne's POV:
The demon's words made me widen my eyes in shock.
What did he say? Daughter?
However, before I could ask anything, the crumbling illusion suddenly collapsed. My vision blurred, and I fainted.
When I woke up again, a loud noise woke me up.
I struggled to sit up and saw a very familiar bedroom. But I didn't dare to confirm it was real. The bedroom door was pushed open as I was about to verify it.
Aldrich ran in with a cup of black tea that emitted the sweet fragrance of berries and shouted anxiously, "Wake up, something happened to Selma…"
When he saw that I had woken up, his words got caught in his throat. At this moment, another loud noise came from outside the window. I subconsciously looked out and saw thick smoke rising from the distant horizon.
Now I was sure that this was the real world.
