Of course, Scarlett Jennings also noticed Donovan Jennings next to her, but she firmly refused to admit that she was being partial.
She could only blame the golden light on Samuel Chalmers for being too dazzling.
With a calm expression, she also called out to the other party,
"Brother."
Then she asked him,
"Why are you here too? Have you seen mom?"
Although Scarlett Jennings soon fell into a deep sleep after returning from the Otherworld, she noticed before losing consciousness that both Donovan and Luca Jennings were present.
When Donovan heard her naturally mention mom, he knew she didn’t have any barriers concerning their mother, so he smiled and said,
"We did, she’s with the villagers."
He paused, then added, "Dad is with her too."
To be precise, during the day Scarlett was asleep, Luca Jennings hadn’t been apart from Magnolia Hearne.
No matter where she went, he would follow.
Even in the middle of the night, Luca would suddenly wake up, making sure his wife was still lying beside him, only then would he hold her hand and fall asleep again.
Frankly speaking, Donovan hadn’t seen his father so alive in a long time.
Although he always appeared steady on the outside, as his son, he could still feel the intense yet restrained attachment in his heart.
Because he felt the same way.
As they were speaking, the moment Scarlett woke up, Magnolia and Luca were the first to come into the room.
She touched Scarlett’s forehead, sensing her rapidly settling demonic power, and couldn’t help but be slightly surprised.
However, upon thinking about it, with Samuel staying by her side all along, it was understandable.
For Donovan and Luca, what unsettled them more than their wife/mother being a Half-Demon was that Scarlett had also inherited a quarter of demon clan bloodline, and had already awakened.
"When I married Luca back then, I deliberately used magic to seal my demonic power. Considering that a child born from a half-demon and a human only has a fifty percent chance of inheriting demon lineage..."
Magnolia’s words explained to both Scarlett and Donovan,
"Since Donovan was born as a complete human, I thought you would be too..."
But when the Ghost Fog Organization came looking, she knew Scarlett was not the same as Donovan.
Donovan didn’t feel too much about being a human, neither grateful nor disappointed.
If there was any regret, it was probably that if he too could inherit demon lineage like Scarlett, he might be able to protect her just as she protects them.
After awakening her demonic power, Scarlett vaguely knew she might be like her mother. So she wasn’t surprised, instead, she asked about Jasmine Hamilton,
"Jasmine, will she never return?"
At the mention of Jasmine, Magnolia also fell silent, a rare occurrence.
Although she was forced to escape by the Heavenly Dao of the Otherworld at the time, Jasmine did indeed stay in the Otherworld in her place.
She owed her twice.
And might never have the chance to repay her.
Scarlett said, "We owe her."
Not just Magnolia, but all four in the Jennings Family owed Jasmine.
"Her mother..."
After borrowing Jasmine’s body for two years, Magnolia knew Jasmine’s only concern was probably the human mother who once abandoned her.
She thought of looking for her later, just about to speak, when Scarlett’s phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the unfamiliar caller ID, she picked up nonchalantly, only to hear the voice of Aaron Hearne.
"Get Magnolia Hearne on the phone."
Clearly, he already knew of Magnolia’s return.
Scarlett didn’t respond immediately but looked at Magnolia, "Cassian is looking for you."
