Chapter 442 Why Does It Feel So Far When We're So Close


Aurora had no clue why Cormac was so worked up, but she figured he had his reasons, so she racked her brain to remember.

"That day, my dad said a lot," Aurora began. "He told me he loved me a ton and wanted me to take care of myself. He also mentioned that there are still good people in the world."
