834 Chapter 833

Keira hesitated briefly when she heard that. "The Guardian will deliver it?"

Her sister's Guardian was apparently Matthew.

But ever since she exposed his identity last time, the two of them hadn't really been in contact…

Keira tapped her chin thoughtfully and nodded.

Well, that worked out.

Matthew was definitely in the same boat as her—or at least he should be willing to help her, right?

Erin immediately nodded. "I got mine ages ago! My Guardian sent it to me a month back!"

Jenkins chimed in as well. "I've been here in Crera for a while, but my Guardian sent mine too!"

Hearing this, Keira froze for a second before pulling out her phone and dialing Matthew.

The phone barely rang before he picked up.

His voice was calm, almost soothing. "Keira, what's wrong?"

Keira got straight to the point. "So, about the South family's ticket—when were you planning to give it to me?"
