Even though he didn’t know why his long-lost daughter wanted to kill, he trusted her enough that she wouldn’t do it for no reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will too.\" Helena joined in too. Her eyes were filled with calmness like still water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had her own selfish motives for agreeing. It was the guilt and surging love toward Ivy, her long-lost child, for whom she had hardly done anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ivy asked Helena to even kill herself, she would do it without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felix and Ember stated simultaneously, not wanting to be left out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the only one who remained was Kael. He was staring at Ivy with a heavy gaze and asked in his deep, masculine voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What proof do you have that you are really our sibling and not some imposter who got to know about the butterfly-shaped mark and approached us just to have your work done?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kael!\" Helena chided with rage in her voice, but Ivy stopped her and looked straight in Kael’s eyes with calmness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I am your sister. In my previous life, you all had found me because of the butterfly-shaped mark above my belly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" This time, even Kael was taken aback, while Silas’s guess was confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Previous life... Sister, what are you speaking about?\" Felix’s mouth opened wide as belief coursed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Ember tilted her head in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It means exactly what you are understanding... I have lived this life before.\" Ivy smirked, but if someone looked closely, they would see the tears forming in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my past life, I didn’t even know about your existence till 2 years had passed after the apocalypse. And you all had found me when I was 26.\" Ivy’s eyes were filled with melancholy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... what do you mean? I can’t understand anything!\" Frustration seeped into Felix’s voice as he stared at Ivy, but at the same time, worry was clouding his eyes too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my past life, I was adopted by the Ravencroft family. The head of the Ravencroft family was Magnus, while his wife’s name was Seraphina. They had a daughter named Isla and a son named Damian.\" Ivy ignored Felix’s words and continued at her own pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They abused me... tortured me and treated me like a slave. Sometimes I wanted to escape, but... a voice in my head always told me that one day they would change whenever they showed me kindness.\" There was a slight bitterness in her voice as Ivy wiped away the tears forming at the corner of her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, the more a person invests, the more they hesitate to pull back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various thoughts arise, such as, \"He or she will change, or maybe the stock will go up; I just need to hold on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A common psychology, also known as thesunk cost fallacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy let out a trembling breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s what it was. I kept believing they’d change, that my pain had to mean something if I just endured long enough. But all it did was break me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers curled tightly into the blanket, her knuckles pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every time they smiled at me, I convinced myself it was love. Every time they hurt me, I told myself it was my fault. I lost count of how many times I forgave them... until forgiveness became another cage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas’s heart twisted as he listened. He had personally seen everything happen with his own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then one day... I saved a little boy named Silas by accident. From that day on, I didn’t have to endure everything by myself. He was always there with me... and loved me. I gained a light in my dark world... until everything came crashing down again. Isla started to like Silas.\" The smile on Ivy’s face vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nightbane’s only felt their heart tighten, while Helena closed her eyes when she realized that their baby... was tortured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She pulled out small tricks that made the torture even more cruel, and I started to maintain distance from Silas out of fear. Yet Silas never gave up on me, which only resulted in Isla becoming even crazier. I endured her because I never knew that she wasn’t my real sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is this bitch?\" Ember was seething with anger. Ember felt a burning hot emotion in her heart that made her want to beat the shit out of that bitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then the apocalypse arrived. Because of my period, I refused to work and was beaten black and blue. The anger in me erupted, and I ran away from home and found a box, which contained a ring. Thinking it was destiny, I wore it. That night, when I returned home, the Ravencroft apologized and even treated me better for 4 days straight. Then they asked for the ring, and I handed it back to Damian because... I felt it was evil.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? No! Ivy, the ring must have been important! Otherwise, they wouldn’t have tried to take it away from you!\" Felix covered his head in dismay, thinking that his sister was truly naive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After that... I awakened my first superpower. Fire.\" Ivy interrupted him with a calm expression. \"For the next 2 years, I worked for the Ravencrofts, and my fighting skills and my shooting skills’ accuracy reached perfection. By that point... I was thinking of leaving them completely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then?\" Ember asked expectantly; her heart was filled with hope... hope that Ivy might have remembered it wrong, and by some miracle, they met her then.\u003C\u002Fp>",1012,"2026-06-05T15:12:36.807Z",1,"novelbin.me","afcd29c5510718e6eaecf841e85289340758962f2c3f29956031f5071a86dbc3","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-252","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-200",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
