Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1434

By then, Hector had similarly deduced the person's identity. He and Adam had also considered the possibility of bringing back the woman who had been proclaimed dead when they found out about Shannon's trip to the so-called alternate world.

However, what they hadn't expected was for her to return in such a state.

As she covered her ears and turned around, the three trembling tails behind her made it clear—this was no illusion.

Hector feigned composure and told Thalia, "I've seen the demons at the Demon Control Agency when I went to Jamborough. You look… normal."

At that, Adam realized how misleading his question earlier had been and quickly piped up. "That's right. We've both seen it before. You don't look strange at all…"

He paused briefly, his voice deep and husky when he spoke again. "Celeste, I'm Adam. This is our son, Hector."

Thalia's figure trembled slightly. She carefully turned back around and faced the two men with reddened eyes. "I know."

Hector felt a surge of emotions in his chest. Staring at the woman before him, who seemed so different from the image in his memory yet strangely unchanged, he asked, "What happened to your body all these years?"

Thalia gazed at her son. Back then, when she used Fennec's body to return to this world, she, too, had secretly watched him grow from afar. Without a doubt, she felt the same amount of guilt toward Hector.

His question prompted a quick reply from her. "What you see now is only temporary. Once I recover, I won't look like this anymore."

Hector was prepared to say more, considering Thalia was still worried about her appearance, but Adam spoke up first. "Enough. Your mother has just returned. We can talk about that in the future."
