268 The Breast milk Offering

As I swung open the door and stepped into the hut with Grandma Derry, my body instantly froze in astonishment at the sight before me.

There, gathered at the centre of the room, were Ursa, Miss Lyra, and Grandma Vivian, their attention focused on an unfamiliar woman. She was pregnant, her slender figure emphasized by her condition, and I couldn't recall ever laying eyes on her before.

'It looks like she is Miss Lyra's visit...." I was about to think, but Grandma Derry immediately exclaimed, "Tina!" Her surprised tone caught me off guard, and I nudged Grandma Derry forward, urging her to approach. Together, we made our way towards the group, and I quickly retrieved my tulga and put it on before settling down on the floor beside Ursa, grateful for a moment's rest after standing for so long.
