Eric said, "Thank you for your concern. Other than having low blood sugar, | can't do extrsports. Apart from that, | don't have
any other major problems."
In Taronia, there were 40 days left until the exam. Every tIrene saw the countdown on the blackboard, her heart would speed
up.
That day, their teacher gave them something more relaxing to do. They had to write an essay about their plans after the exam. It
could be plans for their future studies or work, or it could be holiday plans for the summer.
Irene gripped her pen and stare at the blackboard blankly. Slowly, she began to write.
'After the exams, no matter how my results are, | want to go to Ylore. | have had a look at the flight tickets. Students have 30% off.
The flight ticket after the discount is less than forty-five dollars. If | start saving now, once I'm done, not only will | have enough to
go to Ylore, but I'll also have enough to go to Aryadelle.
‘Everything that | can remember about Ylore is fuzzy. The ironic thing is that Ylore is where I'm from. | want to see my country. |
want to know more about that country, and what my family went through.
'When | was young, Grandma always askedto not ask too many questions. She toldnot to be curious. However, the seed of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcuriosity never stopped growing in me. And if | don't go and have a look, I'll regret it for the rest of my life.
'By then, if | have enough money, | also want to visit Aryadelle. People | miss are still there. | believe that they haven't forgotten
me..."
After the essay, Irene no longer looked back, because this was a thought that had long appeared in her mind.
If her grandmother had still been alive, she would have begged her grandmother to allow her to go back there and have a look
around.
In the afternoon, her teacher called her out of class.
"Irene, | saw your summer plans. You've never traveled that far before. Are you planning to go alone this summer?" Her teacher
was worried about her safety.
Her teacher knew that she and her grandmother had lived together. Her grandmother was not with her now, and it was her
teacher's responsibility to look after her.
"I traveled plenty when | was younger, but not since | got older, but I'll be careful," Irene promised her teacher.
"I'm still worried! You should follow a
tour group to ¥lore! I'll help you

Irene felt that her teacher was right, so she nodded her head. "Please helpcontact a travel agency then."
"Thank you for your guidance. I'll work hard."
In the evening, Irene returned to the Woods' mansion. She had already made her plans. Before her exam, she would quit her job at
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe Woods' mansion.
She had average marks for her mocks. She met the bare minimum to qualify for Turlington University.
Therefore, before the exam, she had to work harder.
At that moment, she would return the money she owed Mr. Sam and the butler once she graduated from college. Therefore, she
did not need to worry about work.
After preparing dinner, she stood by the courtyard of the South Block, waiting for Lucas to return.

A jasmine tree grew in the courtyard. She had gotten the gardener to plant it.
The jasmine tree reached up to Irene's waist. It was not short, but it was not tall either. She wondered how long it would take for it
to blossom.
Just when she was staring at the jasmine tree, the driver pulled up into the mansion with Lucas.
