Capítulo 196: The Natural Conclusion

"If I were to continue feeling this ache in my heart as I wait for the time that I'd take her soul, then please... just take my life away from me and bless her so she would be blessed until the day that she dies."

"I'm sorry. Mother acted rashly. I--"

"Forget it..." Devin interrupted her, disregarding her motherly tone. "You wanted me to live in hell for killing Nevin. If you think I deserve it, then so be it."
