Chapter 107: Warm

“Yelena?” I called. “You alright?” I asked, even though I know she isn’t.

She sighed. “Phillix…” she called. “I have a favor to ask.” she said.

I didn’t answer. I already have an idea.

“Please take care of our friends, and look after Vincent when I’m gone.” She said as she choked a sob.

My tears fell.

“Don’t tell them, please…” she said.

I took a deep breath to calm myself. “Yes. I will.” I told her.

I heard her chuckled. “Thanks.” she said.

“But – “ I said. “ – on one condition.” I said.

She didn’t react.

So she’s expecting this. I thought. “You tell me what you’re planning.” I said. “Surely I have the right to know?” I asked.

I heard her sigh. “I... I’ll be gone together with the Sorceress, anyway.” She said.

My eyes went wide. “What? What do you mean?” I asked when I suddenly froze after I realized something.

I heard her draw a sharp breath. “So now you realize…” she said.
