Chapter 14

Trisha’s P.O.V:

I left the Sanctuary with my palms itching and my heart heavy.

I was so close. Whatever Granny Dilliana knew was highly valuable. It felt like I was getting closer to understanding the relationship between Damien and Vandal. If only I could’ve found out today…

“Is this the proof you were talking about?” I asked Lucas on our way back.

“Yes.” He nodded. “Granny Dilliana is very old. The fact that she’s spoken to you for as long as she had is a miracle. But we couldn’t stress her too much. The people in Sanctuary love her and treat her with respect. It would’ve been impolite to stay longer with her condition worsening every day.”

“How long does she have?” I asked, understanding now why the people and her family had requested us to leave her to rest for today.

“Not long. She’s over ninety years and it’ll be sad to see her go, but at her age, it would be a relief.” Lucas shrugged before pulling something out of his pocket and handing it to me. “For you.”
