Capítulo 535: The Reason (1)

No matter how hard Scarlett tried to sleep, she couldn't manage it, even though she knew her body felt tired; somehow, her brain wouldn't stop thinking. 

There was a commotion in her mind — all the events of the last few years played on a mental movie screen, accompanied by the sounds of each scene.

Scarlett gave up resisting, simply savoring the scenes unfolding in her mind with closed eyes. She made an effort not to make even the slightest movement, afraid that Xander would realize she wasn't asleep.

It was around five in the morning, the sun was not yet shining, and Xander was still fast asleep. Scarlett abandoned the pretense of sleep. Slowly getting out of bed, she tiptoed towards the door, deciding to check on her mother's condition.

Encountering no one else as she walked towards Nine's laboratory, where her mother now rested, she slowly opened the door. When the door was wide open, what she saw surprised her.
