Chapter 178 The Battle Xiii-iii

• There was nothing left for Usher to think about. Everything had become clear. All the strange events, the time travel, and everything that had happened when they were children—it had all started with Rowena, rooted in a mother's concern for her daughter.
• Now there was really nothing left to say between them. Both Usher and Rowena fell silent. Their thoughts were focused solely on Vione. They continued to pray for her well-being until the lights went out in the operating room.
• Vione's surgery was over. Usher and Rowena both rose from their seats. They stepped forward as the doors to the operating room opened. Scott emerged, pulling the mask from his face.
