Chapter 602

Cole had been a titan in Avalon City. Even his funeral was a testament to that, with a never-ending stream of mourners coming to pay their last respects.

Yale's gaze followed her every move, his eyes brimming with concern. "Evie, why are you here? You should be resting after just waking up..."

She dabbed at her tear-streaked cheeks, inhaled deeply, and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?" "You..." Yale started to speak, then paused, struggling with his words. At last, he said, "Just stand behind me."
