The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 352

Chapter 352 My Granddaughter

When Miles noticed Raven’s expression, a flicker of concern crossed his face.

“Kid, in the military, there are strict hierarchies here–step out of line, and you’ll pay for it,” he said.

If it had been any ordinary soldier, Miles would not have been so patient, but Raven had saved his life.

And for some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with her.

Raven listened to Miles’s earnest advice, and her gaze toward him softened even more.

Raven glanced at him, her tone soft but steady. “Lionel lied to you. Your granddaughter’s not in the Bastion Prison anymore,” she said.

Miles froze, her words hitting him like a thunderclap.

For a moment, he simply could not process what Raven had just said.

Several seconds passed before Miles finally snapped out of it, staring intently at Raven, his voice somewhat dazed. “What did you just say?”

Raven held his gaze, her voice steady as she repeated, “Your granddaughter isn’t in the Bastion Prison anymore. She came out five years ago.”

“How do you know that?” Miles asked.

Raven did not beat around the bush. “Simple,” she said. “Because that girl is me. I’m the one who was locked away. I’m your granddaughter.”

Boom.

Raven’s words hit Miles like a bolt from the blue.

Miles stood there, completely stunned, his mind reeling from the revelation.

It took him a moment to finally snap out of his daze.

Miles stared at Raven’s face, his voice trembling with disbelief. “Y–you mean you’re my granddaughter?”

But almost immediately, he shook his head, rejecting the idea. “I may not have seen my granddaughter in years, but I’ve seen her photos. Your face-”

Before he could finish, Raven cut him off. “Give me two minutes.”

With that, she turned and walked briskly toward the sink in the operating room.

With her back to Miles and the young doctor, Raven retrieved the Reborn Stone.

Her fingers brushed lightly over its surface, and in an instant, her original appearance was restored.

After rinsing her face at the sink, she turned back, her expression calm as she faced Miles.

“This… this-”

Upon seeing her face transform entirely, Miles was so stunned he almost sprang upright from the operating table, disbelief etched across his features.
