Chapter 68: Unlocking More Areas

"I'm sorry, Ms. Blackwood. I really am." Dr. Kian apologized again and Grace could no longer blame him. He was just a pure soul who still hadn't seen the worst hide of humans. It wasn't his fault that he ended up getting robbed by greedy and selfish people.

She took in a deep breath before she fixed her gaze on his and spoke, "I should be the one apologizing here. It was because of me that you have to take such a big risk by coming here."

This time, he was the one dismissing her apology. "We both know what might have happened to me if I have stayed in the Capital City. I might haven't survived there. And even though my journey to here was full of dangers, since I have made it to here, I know that my future is pretty much safe for the time being."

The two of them fell into silence for a few moments before she found herself asking, "Why did you come here?" It might sound like a weird and stupid question, but she genuinely wanted to know his answer.
