Chapter 17 - 17 (1/2)

Evelyn slowly opened her eyes and the once blurry surrounding became clear. She could see Lisa sleeping on Vanessa;'s sickbed with her head on Vanessa's l.a.p.s. Vanessa was half sitting and half lying on the king-size bed, staring at the cute Lisa sleeping peacefully.

”She's such an innocent child. It's a pity that she's been ruined by her uncaring father. If i had such a father, i would have taught him a lesson. Poor kid” Vanessa thought with a sigh as she c.a.r.e.s.sed Lisa's head.

Evelyn managed to sit up and Vanessa turned to look at her with a smile.

”Vanessa?”Evelyn called out softly in a parched voice as she adjusted a stray hair strand that was covering her eyes back to its original position.

Vanessa shook her head and stared at Lisa and then back at Evelyn.

”Lisa is sleeping. Please let's not wake her up”

Evelyn's eyes widened and she gasped in shock staring at Vanessa who was still smiling.

”Sorry, i made you faint from shock. Don't faint again and let's talk. I dunno why but i am capable of telepathy now and i just felt like using it since for the time being, i can't speak. Please do not freak out and try to reply to me....but not with your lips..i mean your mouth. Try if you can reply to me with your mind.”

Evelyn opened her mouth as Vanessa nodded.

”I...”Evelyn was made to shut up by Vanessa shaking her head.

”I don't know what's happening. This feels really strange” Evelyn thought in confusion.

”Yeah! It's indeed strange and i still haven't come to terms with it yet. I don't know why i became mute”Vanessa replied to Evelyn telepathically making her gasp.
