Chapter 1258


    Early the next morning, Thssa packed her bags and set off with her mother.


    Their destination was her mother’s hometown of Rivertown in Eldoria.


    Thssa had looked up Eldoria online and found it to be a ce of picturesque beauty- with rolling


    hills, serene waters and lush greenery. It seemed like the perfect spot for a rxing getaway. Besides,


    it was Evelyn’s birthce, and perhaps being there would lift some of her mother''s spirits.


    They had booked ne tickets for the trip.


    After a two-hour flight, they arrived at Eldoria Airport.


    Holding her mother’s hand, Thssa walked to the curb to hail a cab, nning to head to the hotel she


    had booked.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Traveling light with only a few changes of clothes, Thssa believed in the ease of minimal baggage—


    after all, they were on vacation, and there was no sense in being weighed down by unnecessary items.


    Soon, they arrived at the hotel. Thssa set down their luggage and took a moment to rest before


    turning to Evelyn, “Mom, there’s a park nearby. Let’s go check it out.”


    Back in Starhaven, Evelyn always worried about bumping into Bruce or other acquaintances.


    But there was no need for such concerns in Rivertown. They were surrounded by strangers, free to


    explore without hesitation.


    Evelyn had been cooped up in Starhaven, avoiding public gatherings and seldom stepping out, likely


    for fear of running into Bruce.


    Remaining in such a stifling environment wasn''t good for anyone''s well-being.


    A walk outside could help alleviate some of the pent-up stress.


    Evelyn nodded, “Sure, that sounds nice.”


    Arm in arm, the mother and daughter made their way to the nearby man-made park.


    The park was a triumph of greenery, with vibrant trees and fragrant flowers, and theke water was


    crystal clear.


    Strolling along theke shore, the scent of flora carried by a gentle breeze was invigorating. Thssa


    felt a sense of rxation she hadn’t experienced in a long time.


    She wondered if it was just her imagination, but the water in Eldoria seemed clearer, and the breeze


    softer and more pleasant than back in Starhaven.


    It had been a while since she had felt such a liberating sense of peace.


    Chatting with Evelyn, Thssa remarked, “Mom, don’t you think the air here in Eldoria feels fresher


    than back in Starhaven?”


    For the first time in a while, Evelyn’s usually worried face cracked a smile, “Yes, it’s definitely fresher.


    There’s nothing like the air from home.”


    Seeing her mother smile, Thssa’s mood lifted.


    As long as her mother was happy, that was all that mattered.


    As they walked, Thssa’s eyes caught a figure leaning against the railing of an artificial bridge. A man


    with a cane was gazing at the tranquilke, seemingly lost in thought, oblivious to the world around


    him.


    Something about the man’s silhouette seemed familiar.


    With a hint of surprise, Thssa approached and realized it was Callum!


    “Mr. Gordon, what are you doing here?” Thssa asked in astonishment.


    Callum turned around at the sound of her voice. Seeing Thssa, his somber eyes lit up with


    recognition.


    “Thssa? What a coincidence!” Callum said with a warm smile, then turned to greet Evelyn. Reаd at

    Thssa felt terribly sorry for Callum.
