Chapter 606B – He Returned

Although a great sun blazed overhead, there wasn’t a burning feeling at all. Warm sunlight sprinkled down along a mountainside courtyard. Solitary Westgate reclined back in a chair, gently looking at a beautiful middle-aged woman as she wiped the sweat from a little child.

Although his expression seemed comfortable, there was always a light, unconscious uneasiness in his features. Yun Niang and Anning’s conditions were worsening. The rejection of the world was intensifying; there wasn’t much time left for him.
