"What is happening, Anthony? She keeps fainting!"
Anthony had returned the same night. Alec used his portal, so he could bring the sage back sooner. He was so worried about Lauren's condition.
"What did you tell her when she woke up?" Anthony asked while preparing his things on the table beside the bed. He had a way to know the spell binding Lauren's soul, but it was done through a process.
"I told her that she's not Noelle Davis but Lauren. She looked...afraid of me," Alec felt a tinge of pain when he remembered the way Lauren looked at him. It was like he was a total stranger in her eyes, and she only wished to get away from him.
Anthony sighed. "You are too impatient, King Alec. As I've said, there's a spell binding her soul which seals her magic and memories. This spell must be so strong that once it's triggered, it attacks her mind, but it comes too strong for her to handle, that's why she faints."
