Asher could tell Ursa was mockingbim, and it made him feel a bit frustrated. Elara had rushed our of the classroom yesterday, and Asher hadn't expected it to be because of her father.
In the past, if something big happened. Elarn would always come to Asher first. Back then, he thought she was incredibly annoying.
But now, when she no longer turned to him and went to Lysander instead, Asher found himself unexpectedly feeling a deep sense of disappointment.
If she had come to me, I definitely would've gone with her to Lodorwood, just like Lysander did, Asher thought.
After walking Cotton, Elara returned to see Ursa standing alone nearby. Asher was already gone. "He left?" Elara asked.
Ursa nodded. "Yes. I told him about you and Mr. Hawthorne going to Lodorwood. He didn't seem very happy. He just left without saying anything."
Elara sighed. "Ursa, are all men like this?"
"Like what?" Ursa asked.
"When you treat them well, they don't care about you. But once you stop paying attention, they start acting all emotional, like they're deeply in love, just to disgust you," Elara said.
It was like they enjoyed building up this image of themselves as devoted. Even when they didn't care at all, they had to make it look like the relationship ended, but it wasn't their fault. Asher was exactly like that now. Ursa simply replied, "Yes,"
Elara glanced at her, smiled slightly, and dropped the subject. Everyone was focused on their exams at the moment, and no one had the time or energy to be distracted by anything else.
On May 26th, Barrett was discharged from the hospital. He had returned a couple of days earlier. Elara had insisted he stay, in on the 26th, so he came back to Brookfield a bit earlier, accompanied by Monica and Chloe. That afternoon, Barrett was in his study, still in his pajamas, catching up on work that had been delayed for several days. Chloe came in and said, "Mr. Kensington, something's happened
Barrett looked up at her as she sat down and opened her laptop, showing him the news she had just found on Twitter.
There had been a landslide on the highway between Lodorwood and Soward Mount, and several cars had fallen into the collapse, resulting in heavy casualties
Chloe added, "Our original plan was to head to Soward Mount today to deliver supplies to the children. If you hadn't left earlier, we might've been caught in this accident."
Barrett looked at Chloe, listening to her calm assessment, but all he could think about was what Elara had said to him at the hospital that day. About the time and the place, Elara had been spot on with every detail. At the time, Barrett had dismissed it as childish nonsense. But now, thinking back, he felt a cold sweat run down his back.
'If it weren't for Elara... I might've.. Barrett thought, his mind racing.
At that moment, Monica entered the room. Seeing Chloe already there, she looked over at Barrett. "Mr. Kensington 64%

Barrett glanced at her. "What is it?"
Π
"I just saw the news. It's all my fault," Monica blurted out. The moment she saw the news, her first reaction had been relief.
If it weren't for Elara insisting that Barrett return early and change his plans, they could've been caught in the accident today.
"It's not your fault. You were just worried about me. Now, both of you, go," Barrett said, his eyes fixed on the laptop screen. But he couldn't seem to snap out of it.
He remembered what Hadden had once told him. A few words from Elara had helped him resolve the fire safety issue at the hotel
At this moment, Lysander was still at school. He was looking at his phone when he came across the news notification on Twitter. Curious, he clicked on it and was reminded of what Elam had said that day in the hospital. Lysander had thought she was just talking casually, but now it seemed that her words weren't random at all. And when he connected it to what had happened with Regal Crest Hotel, it was becoming even more intriguing. When Elarrleft school, she saw Lysander already waiting for her at the entrance. The exarns were just a few days away. She walked up to him and looked at him. "Why did you suddenly come to see me without saying anything?" "I came to check on you," Lysander said, his eyes fixed on her.
Elara felt a little uneasy under his gaze. "Let's go eat," she suggested.
Lysander seemed a bit off today. Once they got into the car, Lysander rested his arm on the window and looked over at Elara. "I just saw the news," he said.
"What news?" Elara asked.
"The landslide on the Soward Mount highway," Lysander said softly.
Hearing his words, Elara quickly averted her eyes, feeling a bit guilty. "Really?" she said, pretending to check her phone.
In reality, she had already seen it earlier at school on Twitter and had been relieved that her father had narrowly escaped the disaster. She hadn't expected Lysander to bring it up now,
Lysander kept his eyes on Elara, "Looks like your dream was pretty accurate,' he said.
Elara coughed lightly, holding her phone. "Yeah, seems like it. I didn't expect something like that to actually happen. Good thing my dad's okay."
"Elara," Lysander said, sitting beside her, his expression growing more serious as he looked at her. "Last time, when your mentioned the fire safety issue at Regal Crest Hotel, was that also something you dreamed about?" Elara hesitated at his question, realizing that Lysander was starting to pay closer attention to her. She coughed again, then replied, "Of course. What else would it be?"
"So, in your dreams... did you ever dream about me and you?" he asked, leaning in closer with a curious smile
At that moment, the car hit a bump, and the distance between them shrank immediately. Elara found herself looking at Lysander up close.
It was hot today, and he was wearing a white shirt with the top two buttons undone. From this angle, she could clearly see his prominent Adarn's apple.
Chapter 59
Though she had teased him before, they had never been this close. She had never studied him from this distance. Seeing her silence, Lysander, towering over her, pressed her again. "So, did you dream about me?" Elara extended her hand and gently pushed him away. His question made her so flustered that she didn't know how to respond.
"What was I supposed to say? That I dreamt of sacrificing everything for Asher, dying tragically, and then needing Lysander to collect my body? she thought.
Lysander obediently let her push him away, sitting back in his seat, but his gaze never left her. During dinner, Elara noticed Lysander kept looking at her, which made her feel even guiltier
The main problem was that Lysander was just too sharp, Elara even began wondering if he had guessed that she had time traveled.
She focused on the menu, trying hard not to look at him. After ordering, she had nothing to do and accidentally caught his gaze again. To break the silence, she asked, "By the way, Lysander, when's your birthday?"
She had been with him for so long but had never heard him mention anything about his birthday, With the SATS over soon, her birthday would be approaching, but she still didn't know when his birthday was. Lysander finally shifted his attention from her dreams when he heard her question, "My birthday already passed," he said.
"When?" Elara asked, surprised.
Two months ago," Lysander replied.
Elara looked at him in disbelief. "Why didn't you tell me?"
She was with him every day and yet had no idea his birthday had already come and gone. Seeing her stunned expression. Lysander's voice deepened. "Elara, I don't celebrate my birthday SEND GIFT
