The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 603

The river wind intensified, buffeting Athena until she swayed precariously, as if she might collapse at any moment.

Xander gathered Athena into his embrace, feeling his heart shatter into a million pieces

sell, he has suffered far too much!

Xander thought to himself,

As long as he was by her side, Xander vowed he would never let Athena suffer even the slightest injustice again.

“Wish me try

me by your side, you’ll never suffer again, Xander said to Athena, but they felt more like a solemn you to her late mother

The grass atop the grave swayed gently, as if responding to Xander

Having cried her, Athena gently pulled away from Xander’s embrace,

Athena looked at Xandes, her cheeks tinged with embarrassment. “I’m sorry, I lost my composure just now”

“In front of me, you’re allowed to lose your composure and trully be yourself” Xander reached out and gently brushed away the bars from the corner of Athina’s eyes.

At this moment, Ansel stepped forward and respectfully reminded them, “it’s getting late. Shall we proceed with relocating my mother’s remains?

Xander looked to Athena for her decision.

Realizing he couldn’t sway her, Xander fell silent.

Before long, the grave was uncovered, revealing the coffin beneath,

It turned out to be a flimsy coffin. Its wood had long since rotted away with age.

Ansel, fully aware of Vania’s importance to Athena, turned to his men and commanded, “Dig with your hands”

The coffin was so incredibly fragile that it threatened to crumble at the slightest touch.

To avoid damaging Vania’s delicate remains, Ansel led his men as they carefully descended into the grave, excavating the soil with the bare hands.

Athena’s eyes brimmed with tears, overwhelmed by gratitude she couldn’t put into words. All she could do was choke out, again and again, “Thank you

The scene was so heart–wrenching that everyone was moved to tears.
