Chapter 694: Arrangement

Abi's heart lurched within her even as her eyes blurred at the sight of her friend laying there, silent and lifeless. However, as she blinked, and the tears fell from her eyes, her gaze seemed to have cleared a little and she could see Alicia's features more clearly. She did not even look as though she was dead, but just trapped in a long and endless sleep. Her cheeks were still ruddy with colour and the complexion of her skin was healthy looking. Though Abi still ended up choking on the sobs that were coming out in small bursts, she was thankful in her heart that at least Alicia still looked the same as she did the last time Abi saw her. There was no trace of death or rot that seemed to have touched her physical body.

Slowly, Abi approached Alicia and the tears she was trying so hard to hold back ended up falling from her already flooding eyes. She did not know when, but Zeres had come to her side, and he patted Abi's back as an attempt to offer her comfort and support.
