Chapter 261
“Have some cold water first.”
“Alright.”
Raymond shook his head and drank the water. As the cool liquid passed down his throat, his mind cleared. He pushed the memories of the past to one corner of his mind, allowing the more recent ones to resurface. He had begun again.
Every life is special, but this one felt a little different.
Raymond’s gaze fell on the fine chain necklace around Zion Electra’s neck. He knew that a ring hung from it—something Zion and Isella shared between them.
Although Zion hadn’t explained the full story to Raymond due to the dire situation, Raymond had noticed enough to know whose ring Zion was carrying. Isella was determined to save Carynne this time, much like how Verdic had shown a different side once in a previous life.
Raymond felt a deep unease at the thought of this life disappearing again like the dreams of the past. He didn’t want to experience that again. In this lifetime, Isella and Carynne might truly become friends, and Zion might live longer.
Raymond looked at his reflection in the mirror. It was still the face of a young man, but to his eyes, traces of an old man lingered. He glanced at Zion through the mirror, noting how young and inexperienced he appeared. The young needed a future.
“Then, what’s the situation?”
Zion shrugged slightly in response to Raymond’s question.
“Reverend Dullan has sent word that he’s willing to cooperate. Quite unexpected.”
