Chapter 37
THREE DAYS AFTER STAYING inside Grian's house and recovering from her injuries, she's decided to get out of the house. Since Grian knows more about her biological mother, she wants to know where she's buried. She was informed it was in the same grave where her father is buried and now she wants to go visit both of them today.
