Chapitre 329: Buying Time

She got up from her seat, wanting a breath of fresh air. But before she could do so, Thorne pulled her to sit back down. 

"He did it for you. To buy you time," he explained.

Thorne took Laina's hand into his. Tracing the lines on her palm, he was able to tell the amount of energy she had within her.
