Wyatt noticed Mirabe''s sudden movement and quickly said, "Ms. Mirabe, are you looking for Summer? Summer left Y province on a flight yesterday."


    Mirabe stopped in her tracks and turned around, her aura of solemnity seemingly skyrocketing with her, "She left?"


    Wyatt''s heart skipped a beat, nodding in response, "Yes, she''s already gone."


    Mirabe furrowed her brows, "Do you know where she went?"


    "She must have gone back to Ashford. Her ticket was to Ashford," Wyatt quickly replied.


    Upon hearing this, Mirabe took out her phone and called As, instructing him to find Summer and take her into custody.


    Thinking of Morgan made Mirabe''s fierce energy dissipate somewhat, and just before hanging up, she asked, "As, my friend?"


    "Paul has been discharged from the hospital, but he keeps asking for you. I gave him your number, didn''t he call?" As asked in surprise.


    Mirabe remained silent for a moment, then said, "Well, please help me send him back to Ashford..."


    After giving her instructions, she put away her phone.


    Mirabe stood there, her cheeks pale and gaunt, her eyes deep, like the calm before a storm.

    Soon after, Delh and Shawn returned from visiting the cemetery, and after consulting with Mirabe, they decided to catch a flight back to Ashford that afternoon.


    Upon learning this, James had Wyatt change his ns to join Mirabe and the others.


    The flight at three o''clock got them back to Ashford by not yet six o''clock, but in the deep winter, the sky was already enveloped by night.


    Zach and Emmitt were already waiting at the arrival gate, and when they saw their parents and sistere out, they went up to greet them.


    After Zach greeted his parents, he turned his attention to his sister. Seeing her greatly thinned face he


    felt @pang of heartache and hugged her, "Sis, stay strong."


    Mirabe hummed softly. Aside from looking haggard, she seemed very calm, "I''m fine, thanks for your concern, Zach."


    Zach patted her back before letting go. It was then, seemingly for the first time, that he noticed James, nodding at him as a form of greeting.


    James was already used to Zach''s attitude.


    However, the next moment, he heard Zach''s voice, "Thank you for taking care of my sister these past few days."


    Although he didn''t like the guy, gratitude where gratitude was due was still necessary.


    "You''re wee, Zach," James nodded slightly.


    Hearing James''s voice addressing him, Zach felt as if he had swallowed a fly.


    He nced at his sister and parents, well aware of the good impression this man


    had on them, so in the end, he held back any furtherments.


    Emmitt, standing by, turned to Mirabe, his hands at his side clenched, and without the same gesture as Zach, he softly said, "My condolences."


    "Thank you, Emmitt." Mirabe nodded.


    "Hmm." Emmitt dared not look at


    vel


    Mirabe for too long, instead,


    taking the luggage from their


    parents and leading the way to the


    parking lot, "Let''s go home,"


    The group quickly left the airport and arrived back at the neighborhood an hourter.


    James rode with Emmitt, and although they didn''t talk much on the way, it wasn''t awkward.


    After getting out of the car, Delh, remembering something, walked up to James, her voice gentle, "It''s


    gettingte, and your house has


    probably been empty for a while, which might not be convenient. If you don''t mind, you''re wee to stay with us tonight."
