Chapter 156
CAMILLA’S P.O.V
Two days later and Audrey was still sleeping in our room because the bad dreams kept coming. They were getting worse and more graphic and we had done so much to try and reduce them but it only seemed to be getting worse. We did all the herbal treatments we could think of but now Audrey was terrified to sleep. It was terrifying watching her move around like a zombie each day with pure exhaustion and fear in her eyes. Neither of us had slept properly in the past two days and I knew I had to find a permanent solution.
“Camilla!” I didn’t realize Christine was speaking to me until she had to yell my name. I blinked twice before turning to her. She had a soft look of worry on her features. “How is she?”
“Horrible,” I admitted feeling the familiar acid taste of guilt climbing up my throat. “She doesn’t even sleep, Christine. She doesn’t want to. I haven’t seen her smile in about four days. I want my daughter to be healthy and happy, not whatever is happening to her right now.”
She sighed and ran her hands through her hair. “Have you considered that maybe it is her powers? It hasn’t happened before but a lot of weird things have happened with your family. You have two powers instead of one and one is out of control. It wouldn’t be shocking that
your child got hers early.”
“I don’t care if it is early or not, I just want it to stop.’
She frowned. “Isn’t that unhealthy? She needs to learn to control it. It doesn’t matter if it comes now or when she is twenty one, she will have the same reactions
to it.”
“At least she wouldn’t be a child then,” I exclaimed and her brows furrowed. “At twenty one, she is an adult ready to take on the f ucking world. Right now, she is a five year
old who is terrified out of her mind every second of the day. I don’t know about you but that is not the life I want for my child. At twenty one, we can work together and deal with it but right now, I just want her to have her childhood.”
I ran my hands down my face after my short speech. Christine was staring at me with a mix of pity and worry. If it were another day, I would have told her off but right now, I was more focused on Audrey. Speaking of my daughter, the door opened and Juan walked in with Audrey in his arms. She was asleep for the first

time in almost twenty four hours. She was clinging to him and he didn’t seem to mind as he made his way in.
“I am so sorry,” I rushed to my feet once I noticed them. “I can take her from you if you would-”
“I don’t mind,” he assured me hoisting her up higher in his arms. “You look like sh it. I think you need the break more than I do,” I gave him a small tired smile in response. “Look, I know this really isn’t any of my business but I think I have something that might help. This isn’t set in stone or anything and there is no guarantee that she will be able to help.copy right hot novel pub
