Chapter 679 An Unlikely Encounter

• Alexander was sitting close to the shattered glass when he noticed the cleaning woman kneeling down. She began to pick up the glass shards and the spilled red wine with a rag and some tools.
• Alexander looked down at the woman kneeling before him. Her hands were clearly clumsy, as if she had suffered some injury. Leaning closer, he saw that the back of her hands had been burned, the skin fused together. Her fingers, though intact, were stiff and slightly deformed. In that instant, Alexander thought of Freya.
• The frail cleaning woman before him seemed to remind him of Freya, causing a slight tremor in Alexander’s chest.
