My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 479

"Mrs. Lockwood, are you thirsty? Want some water?"

"I'm fine, thank you. Ethan, Samuel, how about you guys?"

"No, thanks." Ethan replied, "I've got to head over to the wedding venue to check on Uncle's speech, make sure everything's set."

"I'll pass too." Samuel snapped his fingers with a mysterious grin, "Gotta go make some magic happen for your plan!"

"Thanks, Samuel."

After they left, Xanthea sighed and curiously picked up a bunch of gifts and cards scattered on the bed. As they slipped through her fingers, she noticed a beautiful decal among them. It depicted a scene of her and Orion holding hands as children, so delicately and beautifully crafted, with her holding a doll.

"It's so pretty."

Orion had fulfilled every girlish fantasy she ever had.
