Chapter 127 New Formulas

One might wonder why Lilian was with Mira, given that they lived in different areas.

For one, they had become the best of friends, brought together by their shared status as the only two females in their class to awaken and become Awakeners.

Lilian, like Michael, was an orphan—or at least she considered herself one. 

Lilian wasn't placed in an orphanage because her parents died but because she was abandoned as a baby, left on the doorstep of an orphanage. 

Unfortunately, the orphanage where she grew up was far from a safe haven for children.

The caretakers were terrible. 

Lilian was a slow learner, and while most adults might have sighed in frustration, the ones in charge of the orphanage were much harsher. 

They berated her, insulted her, and even revealed the harsh truth of her abandonment in front of the other children. 

And children, as anyone should know, are capable of cruelty if left unchecked.
