Sarah gazed at Anthea in astonishment, “But I’m already 20 this year!”


    Anthea’s smile was gentle, “Sarah, you’re only two years older than me. I’m just finishing up my


    junior year in high school, and I’ve got the SATS next year. If you go back and brush up on your


    high school courses now, you can join the senior ss next year, take the SATS the year after, and


    you’ll only be a year behind me. At 20, your life is just beginning.”


    Sure, education isn’t the only way to go. But for Sarah, it seemed like the right path.


    And nowadays, qualifications matter no matter where you work!


    Anthea’s serious tone made Sarah waver, “Ann, do you really think I can do it?”


    Anthea nodded, “Sarah, if you’re willing to learn, I’ll help you with your studies.”


    After a pause, Anthea asked, “By the way, Sarah, what was your dream when you were in


    school?”


    It took a long time for Sarah to answer, “I used to dream of bing awyer”


    “Then work hard towards that goal! Get into a goodw school! Be an outstandingwyer!


    Sarah, you’re 20 now, you’ll be 22 at the SATS, and 26 when you graduate college. If you pursue a


    master’s, add another two or three years, and you won’t even be 30 by the time you’re done! At 30,


    do you want to live the life you desire, or do you want to be a housewife, preupied every day


    with the mundane?”


    “Ann, don’t you find my dream a bitughable, a bit unrealistic?” Sarah’s eyes betrayed a hint of


    self mockery.


    Anthea took Sarah’s hands firmly. “It’s notughable, nor is it unrealistic. The onlyughable people


    are those without dreams.”

    Her words struck Sarah like a wake–up call. She clung to Anthea’s hands, “Ann, I’ll listen to you.”


    “That’s great, really d to hear you’ve thought it out,” Anthea said with relief.


    Once Sarah had made up her mind, she felt a weight from her shoulders.


    After a five–hour flight, the two arrived in Cloudcrest


    Nanson Yeager had been waiting outside the airport, knowing Antheas flight schedule. The moment


    he saw Anthea and Sarah, he rushed over, “Ann! Sarahl Over here!”


    Anthea scurried toward him, dragging her suitcase, “Uncle Nanson!”


    Sarah followed suit, calling out, “Nanson!”


    Nanson took over their luggage, “Let’s head home.”


    ? ? ? ? ? ?


    Nanson dropped Sarah off first, then drove home.


    Carole had taken the day off work and prepared a feast at home, awaiting Anthea’s return.


    A week apart felt like a year to the mother and daughter When Anthea arrived, she enveloped


    Carole in a big hug. “Mom! I’ve missed you


    so much!”


    “I’ve missed you too, honey!”


    After dinner, Anthea presented the gifts she had bought for Carole and Nanson. They scolded her


    for spending money carelessly, but were clearly delighted.


    Anthea also brought out a gift from a patient named Kendrick, “Mom, one of my patients gave me


    this. It’s full of jewelry. You should


    wear it


    we go out together, Caroleughed off the suggestion, “I’m too old for jewelry! But Anthea insisted,


    “Mom, you’re not old at all. When we people think we’re sisters! Besides, I’m still in school, and


    we’re not allowed to wear jewelry. Most importantly, as a student, it doesn’t suit me to wear gold


    bracelets and nes.”


    Only then did Carole agree to ept the jewelry.


    That evening, Anthea settled in to live stream her chess game.


    When she logged into her ount, she was astounded to see another spike in her follower count!


    Moreover, the footage of her at the RealTimeFlow anniversary party had been edited into a video


    that was now viral, with over a hundred million views!


    Upon opening thements, they were all chanting. “Antheal Awesome!”
