Phoebe glanced at Frankie momentarily, hesitating whether she should reveal the truth before him.
Andrea quickly understood Phoebe’s hesitation. She reassured her, saying, “It’s okay. My dad knows there’s an issue with my mom Pherbs, you can speak freely
Phoebe nodded and said, “A spell has poisoned Frankie. She then took a moment to explain what a spell was
Andrea looked pale with anger. “How could she be so cruel? She must have wanted my dad to fall ill so she could use the excuse of taking care of him to ask me for money”
She recalled a few things and frowned. “No wonder my dad falls ill every time her family needs money. She would then come to the hospital, playing the caring role, and take the opportunity to squeeze money out of us?
At the time. Andrea had hoped that as long as her mother cared for Frankie and kept him happy, she would tolerate it, even though it bothered her. But now, discovering the truth, she was furious.
Frankie sighed, “I’ve burdened you. Without Andrea, there were times when he didn’t even want to go on living. As for his wife, he had long since grown cold and indifferent toward her, losing all hope.
His wife was not only self–centered but also cold–hearted. Still, he pretended to care for her to prevent Andrea from being caught in the middle. After all, she was Andrea’s birth mother, while he was just her adoptive father. With his family long gone, he deeply cherished their rare hond.
Andrea’s eyes welled up with tears. “No, it’s us who’ve burdened you.” She then turned to Phoebe, her gaze filled with pleading. Theebs, is there any way you can break the spell?”
“I could. But first, I need to assess how deeply the spell has affected your father’s body to determine the best way to break it.” Phoebe replied
Andrea looked visibly relieved and excited. That’s great! Please, help my dad.
Phoebe nodded and walked over. After getting Frankie’s consent, she checked his pulse and used her positive energy to assess the extent of the spell’s effect.
After a moment, she withdrew her hand, her brows furrowing. “The spell is quite severe. It looks like you’ve been affected by it continuously for over twenty years.
“Frankie, did you experience sudden heart palpitations or fainting episodes before getting married? But there were no clear issues when you went to the hospital”
Frankie looked even more surprised. “That’s true. It happened twice when I first met Andrea’s mom. She even accompanied me to the hospital for tests and comforted me. That’s why it left such a strong impression on me.”
His expression changed as he continued, “Could it be that back then, she already gave me this poison made from a talisman? After we started liking each other and dating, she always brought different drinks.
“I offered for her to drink as well, but she refused. She said she made it specially for me and that I had to finish it so that it wouldn’t waste her effort.
At the time, he had thought she was genuinely kind, but now, reflecting on it, he felt a chill of horror. Realization struck him.
“No wonder I was in good health before I met her. I even joined the school football team. But after we got together, my health started deteriorating with various issues, though they weren’t severe back then.
“After we got married, 1 started suddenly falling ill, and my health grew weaker and weaker. Eventually, I had to be hospitalized several times a year, and I couldn’t even work.

Chapter 412
“I asked for a divorce, but she refused, claiming it was all for my sake. I used to think it was my health that was holding her back, making her choose to be with someone else
So, even though his wife had an affair and bore three children by other men, he continued to endure and tolerate it. After all, after his serious illness and marriage, he had lost the ability to have children. He could understand if she couldn’t stand the loneliness or wanted children.
He never truly wanted to trap her and had suggested divorce several times. He was willing to leave with nothing but she always refused. She would say that given his condition, if they divorced, he wouldn’t be able to manage on his cen
She had several children, likely intending to provide for them in their old age. He didn’t fully believe it, but he did feel that, despite her bad temper and tendency to support her family, she had some sense of loyalty in this regard. He believed he shouldn’t become a bunden to her.
Therefore, as long as he wasn’t admitted to the hospital, he took responsibility for all the household chores and meals. He also worked online, tutoring and copywriting to earn money for living expenses and hospital bills. He even used the inheritance his parents left him to subsidize her family quite a bit.
He never expected it. It turned out that everything from the beginning had been a scam. The way he had ended up was all because of her. This realization nearly broke Frankie’s mindset at that moment.

Hearing the soft sobs of Andrea, he turned to look at her and quickly pulled himself together. Despite the immense harm and suffering his wife had caused, she had also given him a caring daughter.
He must learn to be content to find peace, there was no need to get stuck in the past. With this thought, his mood calmed down quickly.
Andrea cried heartbrokenly. She had always believed Frankie’s health issues were due to his condition before they got married, but she never imagined that it was her mother who had caused it all.
with this”
Her expression darkened. “That cruel woman, I won’t let her get away with this.”
Phoebe asked, noticing her reaction, “Didn’t you ever take Frankie to see a horoscope master?” Ideally. Andrea should have been more thoughtful and considered that.
Andrea replied, “We’ve seen one. I did suspect before that my dad falling ill every year might not be entirely normal” After all, her birth father was a horoscope master, so uncertainties were always involved.
She continued, “I even hired a few famous masters from Solara City to help check on my dad. They all said his energy was out of balance and his luck was weak, so he’s been sick.
“Two years ago, we even went to Templum Cirrus in Solara City and asked the head disciple, the most skilled one, to help us check. But he couldn’t find anything unusual either. He just said my dad was sick like anyone else.
“He said that although my dad was often sick, it didn’t seriously affect his lifespan. He gave us a talisman and advised us to take good care of his health, and he would still live a long life. That was when she stopped suspecting anything else and never considered that it could be her mother’s doing.
Phoebe thought momentarily and asked, “Does Frankie still have the talisman?”
She wondered, ‘Logically, Frankie’s facial features and the evil energy in his brows are apparent. Any master of horoscopes with innate strength should be able to notice something. So why did that head disciple say it was normal?”
