If she did not need to work, her parents would have taken her to Bridgedale.


    It had been a year since La had started working at Tate Industries. Time had flown by.


    It had been a year of growth for her.


    Her parents had begun to stay out of her personal and work life. Though she struggled to adjust, she knew that it was a necessary burden if she wanted to grow as a person.


    That night she returned home after a long day at the office. She thought that silence would be the only one there to greet her, but when she got home Kiara and Rose were there. Shea had brought them over.


    "La, your parents haven''t arrived at Bridgedale, right? I didn''t want you to feel bored alone at home, so I brought Kiara and Rose here," Shea said with a smile.


    "You are the best, Aunt Shea! Mom and Dad took Robert with them to Bridgedale, and I was kind of upset about it this morning, but I feel so much better to see you guys here."


    La patted Kiara on the head before doing the same to Rose.


    "What are your ns for the summer holidays?"


    "I''ll do what Big Sister does." Kiara had always copied Rose. She followed Rose around like a puppy and did almost everything Rose did. Though the two were not sisters by blood, they were just as close.


    "I don''t have any ns. I just want to stay home with Mom and Dad." Rose could not be exposed to sunlight, and she had to be extremely careful during summer.


    "You cane here more often to eat with me, then!" La said. "Or you can just stay here. I might not have time to y with you, but I can take you out on the weekends."


    La adored her cousins because they were as sweet and innocent as angels.


    Tammy''s daughter, Tiffany, was slightly more mischievous, but would still behave with La.


    "Do you two want to stay here? If you do, I can bring over your belongingter," Shea said to her daughters.


    Kiara looked at Rose while Rose nodded at Shea.


    "I will go hometer and pack your stuff. I''lle over tomorrow morning and we can all go up the hill," Shea said.


    "Aunt Shea, are you guys going to the Hightide Church tomorrow?"


    "Yeah! Rose is quite busy with her studies, so she takes every opportunity to visit them," said Shea. "The nun who had taken care of Rose is about to retire, and we need


    to pay her more visits before she


    does."


    "I see. Time flies so you should go more often," La said. "It''s a shame that I need to work tomorrow, or I would have gone with you."


    The next morning at seven, Shea came to pick Kiara and Rose up.


    Wesley had promised toe along but had to workte the night before, so Shea did not wake him up that morning.


    Once she picked up her daughters, they drove from Elliot''s mansion to Hightide Church.


    Irene had just stepped out of the


    hostel she was staying at which was located at the bottom of the hill. She had ber backpack with her and was about to hike up the hill. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.

    She had gotten the results of her exam and the eptance letter from Turlington University. She had bought a flight ticket to Aryadelle after that in hopes of visiting


    Hightide Church.


    She had arrived the day before and was exhausted when she checked in but somehow failed to fall asleep.


    Her heart raced as she wondered if the nuns still remembered her. It had been over a decade, and it had been some time.
