Chapter 175
Sensing Timothy’s gaze. Mia swiftly withdrew her hand.

Eva and I find ourselves with some free time. We’re thinking of coming to Bern City to see you.”
Given the recent upheaval, Dominic felt concerned about his sister’s emotions. Determined to ensure her well- being, he decided to personally visit her.
