Chapter 856 She Came in the End

• Jason recalled how Mayaboy would refer to all of them as townspeople when she was their tour guide in the past. She had been too lazy to remember all of their names back then, and she still referred to Jason as ‘the townsman’ even when he was the only one who had stayed behind in the mountains. Back then, he teased her by saying that he was thankful that she only referred to him as a townsman and not a foreigner.
• Right then, Mayaboy lowered her firewood to speak to him. “Are you here on a trip? Our tourism business has been growing in the past few years, but I’m surprised to see you traveling here again. The scenery here isn’t as gorgeous as it used to be in the past.” She was chit-chatting with him as if she had just met an old friend, but Jason couldn’t bring himself to utter a single word in front of her.
• He had considered all sorts of possibilities while he was on the way to the mountains. He had expected her to change since they had been apart for so many years, but he hadn’t expected her change to be so drastic. Now, her skin was rough, and her hands covered with cuts, scars, and calluses. Also, her hair was a total mess, and her clothes were ragged and torn. She’s still such a young girl. How did things turn out this way for her?
