Chapter 1188

Alexander stopped dead in his tracks and let out a heavy sigh, "Looks like we're totally lost." Hearing that, Quinn felt a wave of panic wash over her, losing any sense of safety she had left.

"It's okay. I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you," Alexander reassured her, trudging a bit further.
