Chapter 1482: Chapter 1582

I could tell she was not only puzzled but somewhat thrilled.

Debra gazed at Dylan, her eyes wide with shock.

After a brief pause, she asked hesitantly, “Why do you call me mom? Are you my child?”

This question seemed to stun Dylan as well.

He froze, staring back at Debra, too shocked to even wipe away his tears.

“Mommy, don’t you know me?”

Debra bit her lip, reluctant to upset the boy.

After a moment’s hesitation, she shook her head and admitted, “I’m sorry, I don’t know who you are.

Who are you?”

Dylan’s grip on Debra slackened.

He turned to me, his expression one of confusion.

“Daddy, why doesn’t Mommy recognize me after just a short time away?”

I rubbed my forehead and let out a silent sigh.

I had expected this might happen.

Just as I was about to figure out how to explain things, Carlos interrupted with a shout.

“Hey!” While fighting off the remaining vampires, Carlos called out to me and Debra.

“Stop talking, both of you.

This isn’t the time for a chat.

We haven’t beaten all the vampires yet.

We need to focus on that!”

Caleb’s POV:

At that moment, I knew I had to kill Edward once and for all.

But before I could make my move, the other vampires spotted us and charged at Dylan.

“Watch out!” I shouted, trying to get to Dylan and Debra to protect them.

But Debra was quicker than I expected.

She grabbed Dylan and dodged the vampires’ attack, pulling him to safety.

Meanwhile, Edward used the chaos to his advantage.

He got up and slipped behind the vampires, out of my reach.

“KilL them!”

The vampires looked threatening.

They attacked without a second thought.

As they swarmed us, I realized they were too many to take down quickly.

I stepped in front of Dylan and Debra, whispering, “Debra, just keep Dylan safe.

I’ll take care of both of you.

Don’t worry.

We’re going to get through this.

”

Debra looked at me, her face unreadable, yet she nodded and said, “Okay, don’t worry.

I’ll make sure he’s safe.

”

Before I could react, Edward’s voice came from behind, sharp and clear.

“Damn witch! You won’t get away this time!”

We needed to protect a child, and the odds were against us, heavily favoring the vampires.

Seeing the situation tilt in his favor, Edward’s confidence returned.

He sneered, “Just a half-blood witch, meddling in werewolf and vampire matters, trying to help a werewolf against us? Remember, without that wizard’s help, you and your child would have been dead at my hands.

”

Your child?

That phrase struck me, filling me with confusion.

What child?
