    At the time, when she heard the doorknob turning, she immediately became alert and called Wesley, but he didn’t answer.


    She could only call Corrine and ask her to find Wesley.


    As soon as she hung up, that person barged in.


    The lounge wasn’t big. As she backed away, she didn’t notice she was near the window.


    The person lunged at her, and in the struggle, she almost fell out.


    Fortunately, that person didn’t want to cause a death either, and grabbed her.


    Only then did she have a chance to catch her breath, and then Wesley arrived.


    She admitted that at that moment, she had let go on purpose to threaten Wesley.


    But–Wesley misunderstood, thinking she had–staged the whole thing.

    It was hard to give up, but keeping it, she couldn’t get past the hurdle in her heart.


    Her feelings wereplicated, and her mind was in a mess.


    Forget it. just take things one step at a time.


    After Cecilia managed to calm herself down, she found Corrine sitting at the bedside, lost in thought, her eyes terribly red.


    “Corrine, did I scare you?” Cecilia patted Corrine on the shoulder.


    Corrine came back to herself, her eyes moist, looking a little sad.


    “Ci, you have to be well.” She tried hard to suppress her own pain, Ci had just been through such a fright.


    She didn’t want her own troubles to bother her anymore.


    Cecilia smiled lightly: “I’m fine.”


    Corrine was especially dependent on Cecilia at this moment. She knew Cecilia needed to rest, but she was reluctant to leave.


    She asked Cecilia in a low voice, “Do you remember the first time we


    met?”


    “Of course I remember.”

    At that time, she was full of resentment, feeling it was not worth it for Prisci.


    That day, Dillon and his wife once again med her for Larissa’s sake. In a fit of anger, she left the Wilburn’s mansion. It was pouring rain, and as she waited for the bus, she saw a woman, lost and dazed. walking into the middle of the road.


    She pulled the woman back.


    That woman was Corrine.


    “I brought you home, and no matter what I asked, you wouldn’t say a word. I almost called the police.”


    As Cecilia spoke, a warmth rose in her heart.


    She hadn’t expected that they would end up apanying each other for three years.


    Thinking of those things, Corrine felt even more bitter inside.


    She gripped Cecilia’s hand tightly, her smile tinged with bitterness. After taking a deep breath, she said, “I’ve saved up some money. I want to go back to my hometown.”

    “Why? Is there a problem with your business?”


    Corrine hid the bitterness in her heart and put on a smile: “I’ve saved up a lot of money, enough for me to retire early. I don’t like Aetherton. I want to go back home, maybe open a little shop or do some small business, and start enjoying life.”


    Cecilia didn’t want her friend to leave, but Aetherton’s pace of life was indeed fast.


    Corrine’s choice was the right one.


    She supported her friend’s decision. “Once I settle things here, I’lle find you and beg Ms. Morton to take me in.”


    Corrine broke into a smile through her tears, her mood lightening.


    “Then I’ll go to Baritel.”


    She gently stroked Cecilia’s belly and said softly, “If you want to keep this child, I’m willing to help raise him.”


    Cecilia lowered her eyes; she couldn’t give any answer right now.


    As the two were talking, Eldridge arrived.


    He brought flowers and fruit, and asked with concern about Cecilia’s health.


    Cecilia expressed her thanks.


    Eldridge hade for another reason as well.


    “When I was looking for someone in Baritel, I was actually looking for your teacher, Gwendolyn.”


    He sighed softly, full of regret.
