Chapter 425

Emily was finally discharged from the hospital. She never liked the environment

there.

Now, she needed to pull herself together. After all, it had been over a decade since Nicholas had left them.

Compared to the darkness she had once endured, this was easier to face. Though she still felt disappointed, she managed to adjust her mindset.

Upon returning to Sandalwood Group, Tristan wasted no time. He immediately instructed the kitchen to prepare nourishing food for Emily. Even Olivia personally cooked a nutritious meal for her.

After dinner, Quintis composed himself and left for Alnewgo's inaugural gala. Before leaving, he asked Olivia to keep Emily company to cheer her up. However, Emily told Olivia she wanted some time alone, so Olivia left as well.

After dinner, Emily went for a walk alone in the park below the Sandalwood Group's building.

Her mind overflowed with thoughts. She often found herself staring into the distance, lost in contemplation.

By the time she returned home, it was already late.

As soon as she stepped inside, she saw Olivia waiting for her in the living room. Seeing Emily return, Olivia quickly stood up and told her. "Mrs. Lycan, someone just delivered a document, saying Mr. Tripp asked him to bring it."

Emily glanced at the document and nodded. "I see. Just leave it on the table."

From the cover, Emily knew it must be the information about the final student from Perthter City.

Although Quintis had declined George's offer over the phone, George still went the extra mile. He made sure the final document was delivered.

Perhaps a miracle could happen.

However, Emily couldn't bring herself to show any interest in this information.

She would rather tuck them away and leave them untouched. Opening them meant risking the despair she wasn't ready to face.

At least by keeping it sealed, she could hold on to a sliver of hope.

If she opened it, that last bit of hope might vanish entirely.

Noticing Emily's lack of interest, Olivia assumed the document wasn't important. She casually placed it into a drawer.

A few days later, Emily's mood gradually improved.

She began attending events with Quintis. He even took her to nearby tourist spots to help her relax.

He also encouraged her to socialize more with the high-society ladies of Alnewgo. He hoped that these interactions would further lift her spirits.

One afternoon, Emily invited a group of these ladies to her home for tea. They relaxed in the garden, admiring the flowers and enjoying refreshments.

After the gathering, her mood noticeably improved.

She even felt inclined to cook dinner for Quintis herself.

After preparing the dinner, Emily began reheating the dishes. She waited for the most important men in her life to come home for dinner.

Sitting alone in the living room, she felt a bit bored and decided to call Olivia to see if she was available.

Learning that Olivia was busy, Emily didn't press and gave her a couple of reminders before hanging up.

She turned on the television out of boredom but quickly lost interest.

Then, out of nowhere, her mind drifted to the last set of documents George had sent her. They lay quietly in the drawer, nearly forgotten.

Emily frowned slightly.

Since she was bored, shouldn't she open the document and take a look? Maybe the student inside it had some connection to her.

Though Emily had given up searching for her son, the thought still lingered. This final document had found its way to her for a reason. Perhaps it was a sign of some special fate.

And if this student needed help, she was willing to lend a hand. It would also be a way to honor Nicholas' memory.

But she hesitated.

Another voice echoed in her heart. What if she opened it and discovered it wasn't Nicholas?

Her last glimmer of hope would shatter, and her mood would sink instantly. This update is available on find✦novel.net
