Chapter 206

Sunburst City experienced some crazy weather that year. After September, the city was hit by a heatwave with record breaking temperatures for days on end. Even late into the night, the heat was still suffocating

That evening, while Conway was at the hospital for a check-up and Glora was traveling in Europe, Bruce Reynolds was notably absent. This left Seraphina as the only awake inhabitant of the grandl Reynolds Manor: the servants had long since retired for the night.
