NovelEnglishChapter 169 Chapter 169 I stared at Geneva in shock. "Didn't your mom go through a bone marrow transplant? How could she still pass away?" I remembered Lisa had mentioned something about it, which meant her mom should have undergone the procedure in Aurorea.
Geneva looked back at me, equally shocked, and then her eyes filled with rage.
