Chapter 166: The Third Task (4)
"No, I’m fine... But... could this be a sign that memories from my past will soon resurface?" Iris exclaimed. His panicked expression gradually turned into joy. Her eyes sparkled with newfound hope, and her smile widened.
"I hope so," Xavier replied, his voice filled with uncertainty. "But for now, let’s set that aside. You need to consider how you’ll approach your task."
Iris’ eyes widened as she suddenly remembered an important detail she had overlooked. "I need to speak with Justin and Gavriel," she said.
"Alright," Xavier said, rising from the bed to assist her.
As they stood, Iris looked at her surroundings. Iris feels unfamiliar with this place. She can’t help but ask, "Xavier, where are we? Are we in your apartment or at your resort?"
"We’re at the resort," Xavier clarified. "We need a quieter and more spacious location because Gavriel and the others are here..."
Nodding, Iris made her way toward the door. However, her steps faltered as she glanced outside through the window. The sky had grown slightly brighter. "Is it already morning?" she stammered, shocked by the realization that she had slept for so long.
Xavier followed her gaze and replied, "Yes. The sun was about to rise..."
"Looks like you’ll be waiting until nightfall to carry out your plan, right?" he asked curiously.
