Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 416

The car cruised away from the bustling heart of the city, heading north and gradually slipping into the chaotic outskirts. 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?"

She settled back into her seat, closing her eyes for a little rest. It was strange. The sky had been clear earlier, yet now, after crossing half the city, they were caught in a curtain of rain.

"It's raining," Lizzy mentioned as she parked the car at the plaza near Rainbow Bridge, the spot Nathan had told her about. She peered out at the rain-drenched world, the surroundings melting into a foggy haze. Lizzy felt a knot of worry. It looked like their trip might be for nothing.

Nathalie opened her eyes, gazing through the car window at the misty landscape. Through the rain, she could make out the Rainbow Bridge. This place was all too familiar, tangled with countless sorrowful childhood memories.

"Why'd you bring me here, Lizzy?" Nathalie's voice was cool, almost detached.
