THE END OF A LONG NIGHT (2)

"I-I'M s-sorry, S-sister J-Juri…"

Juri Wisteria didn't have to hear it from Greko. She knelt beside her grandmother while being assisted by Jeno Dankworth. Then, she held her grandmother's hand. It was still soft and warm. But that wasn't enough to delude herself that her grandma wasn't gone yet.

[Grandma's wound on her chest…]

Her thoughts were interrupted when Jeno Dankworth removed his cloak, then he silently and gently put it over her grandmother's body.

She wanted to thank him but the lump in her throat hurt so much.

[Grandma…]

Just like Greko, she was also a Healer. She saw the extent of damage that her grandmother received. It wasn't only the heart of her Grandma Judy that was crushed. The Healing Sage's Core was also destroyed and her life force was absorbed by someone else.

It was as if the killer really wanted her grandmother dead.

She stared at her poor's grandma's face.
