Chapter 152: Home

'Babe...' Aria's voice sounded in his ears.

Ashton nodded to himself and replied: 'I know, Babe...I know.'

Mary...damn it's been a while since he heard that name. An overwhelming sense of nostalgia struck Ashton out of nowhere, causing his eyes to turn misty.

"She's still alive...good, very good." Ashton muttered. He had to put down his teacup due to how shaky his grip was.

The rest were a bit surprised by how he reacted. They silently looked at each other. Jane shrugged, signifying that she doesn't understand it either.

"...just to be clear, your friend's name is Rosemary Summers right?"

"Yes, that's right." Jane confirmed.

Ashton drew a sigh of relief while nodding to himself once more.

"Great. It's her. Yes, it's good that she's still alive." He muttered, "And what of her other friends? Like, Blake Reed and Alice Chrome?"
