Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1156

It was as if some unseen force had taken hold of Evelyn. Despite her unsteady steps, she suddenly moved with surprising speed, leaving Jane and Rosie struggling to keep up.

Evelyn could hear nothing but the rush of her heartbeat. Before her, the courtyard faded away. What remained was the vision that had burned in her heart for years the blazing fire and the haunting screams that filled the air. Back then, people had dragged and pulled her, and she could do nothing but watch helplessly as the fire devoured everything.

Her youngest son-gone, consumed by those flames.

They had pulled out so many bodies, and yet, she couldn't tell which one was his.

She had cried until she lost consciousness, over and over. However, never had she dared to think or hope that perhaps, just perhaps, her son had survived.

He had been so weak and sickly, barely able to walk without help. How could he have escaped that inferno?
