Chapter 213


    Nadine was simmering with resentment, ming Winnie for her missed opportunity to go on a


    European study tour. It felt like a ssic case of Bhus‘ favoritism.


    Leonie had a throbbing headache from themotion and couldn’t help but feel a twinge of anger


    towards Winnie. It wasn’t that she med her for warning about the potential dangers of the trip, and it


    was more the frustration that Winnie, with all her mystical prowess, could surely avert any disaster. Yet,


    she chose to let the fear of possible mishaps prevent Nadine from going on a once–in–a–lifetime


    adventure.


    If no one was going, it would be fine, but some kids were still set to jet off to Europe, and that made


    Leonie’s heart sink.


    As Winnie descended the grand staircase, Leonie’s emotions got the better of her, and a slight scowl


    crossed her face.


    Winnie, as if she hadn’t noticed, simply stepped around them and headed for the door. But Nadine


    spotted her and bolted in front, her face red with anger.


    “It’s you. You’re doing this on purpose. Why can’t I go on the trip? I hate you.”


    Though her words were harsh, she dared not repeat the past incident where she had told Winnie to


    leave the house, and she was wary of crossing that line again.


    Winnie looked at Nadine, unfazed.


    “If you want to go that badly, go ahead.” Winnie said, her voice calm, not a hint of concession due to


    Nadine’s tantrum. Instead, she nced at the clock and said with a semnce of sincerity, “At this


    time, your ssmates are still gathering. If you hurry, you can still make it.”


    Winnie’s unexpectedpliance left Nadine without a script, unsure how to proceed with her rant. She


    nced between Winnie and Leonie, seeking guidance.


    Leonie was puzzled. Rushing over, she questioned, “Winnie, didn’t you say the πιμ could be


    dangerous? That you foresaw a cmity? How can you let Nadine go?”


    Winnie responded with a nonchnt shrug, “It seems like she wants to go, and you seem quite keen


    on it too.”


    The unspoken usation made Leonie’s cheeks flush with embarrassment. She let out a nervous


    chuckle, “Oh no. When there’s danger, it’s best to avoid it.”


    She then turned to Nadine, trying to be the voice of reason, “There will be other study tours


    in the future.*


    Nadine pouted, feeling this opportunity was unique.


    Then Winnie added, “She’ll be fine even if she goes. Sure, there might be a mishap or two,

    like a broken arm or leg, or maybe a slip that leads to a bald head, but she won’t die. If she wants to


    go, let her.”

    Winnie’s tone was sincere as she offered to arrange transportation with Abdul.


    As Winnie moved to find Abdul, Leonie quickly intercepted her. By then, Nadine’s face had paled at


    Winnie’s words and she instinctively clung to Leonie’s skirt, shaking her head faintly. She didn’t want


    any broken bones or to be bald.


    The scene was bing increasingly bizarre, with each person trying to pull the other in a different


    direction.


    Winnie’s gaze turned icy as she looked at them as if to ask, “Well? Still going?”


    Nadine wanted to say no but feared losing face as if admitting she’d been scared off.


    Tugging at Leonie’s arm, she retreated and muttered weakly, “I don’t care. I still want to go. Mom, don’t


    hold me back.”


    Leonie looked at Nadine, who clearly no longer wanted to go but was putting on a brave face for


    Winnie. She softened and decided to y along, holding Nadine back, “Let’s not go. I can’t let anything


    happen to you.”


    Nadine squared her shoulders and finally admitted to Winnie, “It’s not that I’m scared. It’s just that


    you’re stopping me, and that’s why I’m not going.”


    Winnie was speechless. If there was peace, that was enough.


    As for those who insisted on sending their children on the study tour despite the warnings, Winnie felt


    that she couldn’t save everyone, and sometimes, words fell on deaf ears. She had offered her


    protection, and that was all she could do.


    She thought that would be the end of it, but that afternoon, the inte exploded with news. “A celebrity


    medium who had recently made headlines for using her powers to save someone had advised against


    a prestigious kindergarten’s European trip, citing possible dangers. Her influence was significant, and


    many parents heeded h pulling their kids from the trip.”


    rning,


    The blogger’s nephew was looking forward to this school trip, but he couldn’t go because of this, and


    he was still secretly shedding tears at home right now.


    The blogger didn’t mean to target anyone specifically, and he was just curious about the existence of


    supernatural things. It became a trending topic at the moment. They intended to track the oue of


    the trip to see if Winnie’s predictions held any truth.


    The post quickly went viral, sparking a frenzy of spection and anticipation for updates. Some


    mocked the idea, while others eagerly awaited proof of Winnie’s mystical skills. The onlinemunity


    was buzzing, ready to see if there was any substance behind the im of a looming disaster on the


    European study tour.


    Before long, a user suddenly fired up a live stream, iming they might have spotted the


    11:34


    stuff of urban legends, and the infamous luxury preschool tour bus, en route to the airport.


    In no time at all, the news had users flocking to the streamer’s channel in droves.


    As they joined the live feed, viewers indeed caught glimpses through a roving camera lens of a bus on


    the move. It was spanking new, adorned with bright and cheerful decals that


    made it stand out.


    Some recognized it immediately, and it was the exclusive bus of the prestigious Emerald Bay Academy


    for Young Aristocrats.
