Chapter 117

• Emerald had been waiting for three long years.
• Time had flown by far too quickly while she yearned for Andrew to reappear in her life. Though she managed to navigate her daily routine, there were countless moments when she paused, searching the crowd for any sign of him. Unfortunately, he was nowhere to be found, nor were there any remnants of his presence in either of his two homes.
• She graduated from high school and took a year-long break to reflect on what truly resonated with her before finally enrolling in the university. Now that she was attending classes, her heart still held onto the hope of seeing him again.
