Chapter 736: A Party In His Honor

The following day, in the tower of Kiba.

"Kirstie is out of danger."

Zed said as he stepped out of the lab and found Rebecca fidgeting. 

"A few days of rest here, and she will recover her lost life force."

Rebecca's face brightened, and the stress in her body disappeared.

Her daughter was safe! 

"Thank you!" Rebecca said with utmost gratitude. 

"There's no need for that," Zed replied while stepping past her. "Just don't forget what you promised."

"I will never forget," Rebecca whispered, her voice not even audible to her. "And even if not for Kirstie, I would have done anything for you… anything!"

She looked at his back, her eyes moist. They were so close, yet the gap between them was as vast as an ocean.

If only she could cross that gap and find a place in his heart. 

If only…

On the side, Katherine sighed.
