Chapter 268: Worries

The three houses we purchased are still awaiting renovation, which prevents us from moving in just yet. Consequently, we are temporarily residing in Lord Alaric's modest villa.

Having triumphed over Tongbei, I earned my mother’s tacit approval, bringing immense joy to Lord Alaric. However, that night, I tossed and turned, unable to find sleep. A singular place name kept echoing in my mind: Yundian.

I yearned to comprehend what transpired there that left my father maimed and broken. Moreover, Fengmei Qu's stern warning to Alaric to avoid Yundian altogether nagged at my thoughts.

After some contemplation, I rose from my bed and descended to the living room, in search of a drink. It was past midnight, yet the lights illuminated the space.
