Chapter 136 The Homecoming Revelation

• Emma's return to her childhood home after months of international commitments and groundbreaking discoveries revealed how profoundly her journey had changed not only her own perspective, but also the lives of her family members, as Grace, Max, Phoebe, and James had all evolved in unexpected ways that would fundamentally reshape their relationships and shared understanding of what it meant to be a family united by love rather than conventional expectations.
• The sight of the house where everything had started seemed both comforting and weird to Emma as she entered through the front door, bearing years of experiences that had aged her far beyond her chronological years. The walls that had witnessed her initial explorations and discoveries now seemed to bear memories of someone else entirely.
• Grace's hug was a mix of pride and concern, reflecting her conflicted sentiments about watching her daughter handle adult duties while still technically a child. Her muttered "welcome home" held the weight of all the phone conversations, video conferences, and news reports that had kept her informed about Emma's incredible trip.
