Chapter 61

After hearing the commotion around her, Phoebe realized that she wasn't hallucinating.

She tried to remain calm but her lips trembled. "Are you... Jack?"

Even though Jack was in front of her, she was afraid that it was all a hallucination.

Everything felt unreal and complicated. This encounter was a pleasant surprise, yet it was frightening.

On that dark night back then, Jack bravely dove into the river and risked his life to save hers.

After both of them went their separate ways, she thought that they would never meet again because the gap between them was insurmountable. Phoebe and Jack belonged to different worlds. They might have turned out to be completely different from the past if they met again a few decades later.

However, at that moment, she was deeply moved the person she was searching for had been beside her all along.

Meanwhile, Samuel, Ronnie, Isaac, Luca, Miranda, Queenie, Amelia, and the other students were stunned by the look on Phoebe's face.

In fact, Bella, who was about to criticize her, was also flabbergasted.

All of them thought that the expressions that Jack and Phoebe had on their faces looked ridiculous. Chapters first released on Find_Novel(.)net

After all, the former was aloof and quiet while the other was bright and cheery; they didn't look like they interacted well with one another. However, it was interesting that fate brought them together.

Just when Phoebe thought she was hallucinating, Jack gave her a warm smile. "We meet again, Pheebs! How have you been?"

Indeed, they met again. Jack was really there!

Many times, Phoebe had wondered if she would ever meet the boy who left a lasting impression on her in high school again. She thought that he might have changed a lot the next time she saw him.

Yet, she didn't expect them to meet again in such an unlikely place.

Moreover, Jack was wearing a basketball uniform from the School of Finance! Everything seemed outrageous, but Phoebe was unable to control her emotions. Since she was still in disbelief, she started stammering. "Yes, we meet again. H- How did you..."

Then, she pointed at Jack's outfit. It seemed she was questioning how he appeared at Alnewgo University in a basketball uniform.

Though their conversation was short, the students around them were agitated.

Samuel, Ronnie, the other students from their shared dorm room, and those who liked Phoebe were in disbelief at the sight.

They didn't expect Phoebe to have searched for Jack, and for her to be so agitated the moment she saw him. This made others curious about their past relationship.

Meanwhile, Ronnie wondered, "Have I misjudged the situation? Were they really classmates? It seems that they're quite close."

On the other hand, Samuel cursed to himself, "Jack used to be a wallflower like me, but after Phoebe talked to him, his social status was elevated."

It seemed that he would be the only outsider left in the future.

The girls in the shared dorm room were also stunned. It was really strange how Phoebe started talking to an unappealing boy like Jack.

As such, everyone started talking all at once.

Yet, the discussion didn't affect Jack and Phoebe at all.
