Theresa's breathing stopped.
She saw someone—
A white-haired woman.
"Kiana?"
The little nun spoke instinctively.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
The woman seemed to have been awakened by the call.
Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
"Kiana... are you talking about me...? Sorry, you've got the wrong person..."
The white-haired woman spoke with difficulty.
