Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 416

The buildings on either side shifted from their quirky designs to old, rundown structures, and Nathalie found the scenery growing more and more familiar. She shot a curious glance at Lizzy. "Lizzy, how do you know this area?"

Lizzy gave her a bashful smile. "All the mysteries in your heart will soon be unveiled."

Nathalie sighed, "Always full of secrets, aren't you?"
