Bab 33: 33rd Chapter: A Day in the Life of a Runner

This was Chen Lun's first breakfast at Mrs. Caroline's place, and his first meal of rice since he had crossed over.

He was silently moved to tears and expressed great satisfaction.

Mrs. Caroline's cooking was stunning; the aromatic rice was stir-fried in butter with eggs, and topped with chopped celery, cod, and shrimp, all very fresh and tender.

Although Chen Lun wasn't a fan of fish, he ate everything up and then contentedly drank a cup of floral tea.

"Is that your husband, Mrs. Caroline?"

He noticed two picture frames on the cupboard and couldn't help but ask.

Turning around, Mrs. Caroline looked back, smiled, and responded,

"Oh yes, that's my husband, Henry... and our son, Oliver."

"Then, are they also in Amber City now?"

Chen Lun asked aloud.

Mrs. Caroline fell silent for a moment.

"No, Henry sacrificed himself for the Empire many years ago... and so did Oliver."

Mrs. Caroline stood up, picked up the photo album, and wiped the dust off it with a handkerchief.
