Chapter 266 The Start of Tension

In the pitch-black silence of the night, memories of the torment from my past life often resurface.

I poured myself a glass of water and lingered in the living room, lost in thought for a long while.

I couldn't help but wonder-did Anna find peace in her sleep tonight?
