Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 904

Cindy's heart was a mix of anger and sorrow. Her husband had sacrificed his arm to save Barrett, losing half of his martial skills in the process. Luckily, there was no war, so Wyatt could still train his one-handed sword techniques. However, he would never be able to wield a spear again.

Wyatt saved Barrett, but what for? That ungrateful wretch! He dared to get involved with Aurora right under their noses! How could they have been so blind back then? How had they not seen it coming?

It was their fault for not being more careful. If they had known, they would have punished Barrett and Aurora right there at Victory Pass. How could they have let them go back and harm Carissa?

Cindy doted on Carissa deeply. When she was born, Cindy had been in the capital, and she had never seen such a soft and adorable baby. Carissa was like a precious angel. There was no child in the world more beautiful than her.

Before Carissa tumed three, Cindy would visit Northwatch Estate every few days just to hold that sweet little girl. Later, when Cindy moved with her husband to Victory Pass, she still made trips back to the capital every two years. However, as her own child grew, needing to study and train, and with the constant friction between Victory Pass and Westhaven, Cindy no longer dared to leave.

When Hector and his six sons died, Cindy had accompanied her husband back to the capital for a visit, but Carissa was already training at Meadow Ridge and hadn't been notified to come home. So, Cindy had missed seeing her.

The events that happened after that reached the Sullivan family through letters.

Not long after, they heard that Carissa had gone to the Southern Frontier battlefield. Soon after, she made a
