Chapter 8
After finishing all this, I called the police.

Killing a cat might not be a big deal, but filing a police report
was necessary.
On the bathroom floor, that realistic doll was still crying
nonstop.
I dialed my parents‘ home number. “Mom, is Ruth okay?”
My mother’s cheerful voice came through the phone. “She just fell asleep, and your dad’s watching over her.”
“What about you? What exactly happened?”
I quickly told her everything that had occurred. “It’s all over now, don’t worry.”
When she spoke again, my mother’s voice was choked with tears. “I’m just glad you’re safe. When are you coming home?”
I said, “Tomorrow.”
By the time the call ended, the cat’s corpse on the floor had already started to rot, filling the entire hotel room with a heavy stench.
I slowly pulled the tracking device from my pocket.

This was what Ryder had secretly planted on me to monitor my whereabouts, so that cat could find
me
But he miscalculated–he never expected that I’d already noticed these little tricks.
Actually, I trusted him at first, but at five in the morning, I received another private message from someone named Noah Geller.
He told me this was the most basic form of life–swapping magic.
The solution was simple–just kill the cat.
I didn’t believe it at the time and thought he was a scammer.
It wasn’t until I felt this tracking device in the taxi that I became suspicious.
So I had my good friend Ellie Wells help me prepare a realistic doll, which I brought with me.
Then I sent Ruth to Ellie’s house and had her deliver the child to
my parents.
After doing all this, I came to the hotel with the realistic doll.
Pure en
that cat came looking for me.

So I acted decisively.

The police arrived quickly, and after reaching the scene, they just fined me and told me to leave.
I went straight to my parents‘ house.
According to Noah, if this life–swapping magic succeeded, the dead person could live again.
But if it failed, those involved in the life swap wouldn’t meet a good end.
Sure enough, the next day I heard that William had fallen into a river and died.
On the third day, Jenny was also killed in a car accident.
When the police asked me to claim the bodies, I refused outright.
We had no marriage certificate, no legal relationship whatsoever.
After everything settled down, I made a special visit to Noah and obtained a protective charm to keep Ruth safe.
William’s feelings for me were fake, but the bond between Ruth and me was real.
