Chapter 233: Surprised By Justin’s Progress
The Next Day.
Iris recalled her conversation with Xavier from the previous night. The shock lingered, disrupting her sleep and occupying her mind with thoughts from her past that begged for clarification.
What she heard from him still stunned her; even now, it felt more like a dream than reality. However, when morning came, Xavier excused himself, citing something he needed to attend to. He was left without the chance to ask him.
Iris redirected herself to Gavriel’s cabin to assess Justin’s training progress.
