Chapter 648

“Tomorrow you'll replace out,” Sylvia said, her lips curled. "I'll be at themedical school at nine o'clock sharp.”

"Ms. Jefferson, she's got such a presence!" A girl leaned in to Haylieand admired Sylvia's graceful figure from behind. "She's so young buthas so much knowledge in her field."

"When we watched the movie, she showed off her expertise and I couldtell she was a real pro. There were some difficult points that I didn'teven understand.” Haylie became more curious about Sylvia.

When did Urgford's medical circle produce such a talented youngwoman? Why hadn't there been any news about it? And that handsomeyoung man looked familiar.

After leaving the cinema, it was already past nine in the evening."What do you want to eat?" Franklin asked with his deep voice thatsounded particularly pleasant in the night breeze.

Sylvia felt a flutter. "Let's just grab something and head back.”

"Hmm, how about some hot sake or grilled meat?" Just as Franklinspoke, a gust of cold wind blew through carrying light snowflakes fromabove.

The snowflakes fell like small pebbles onto Sylvia's open palm wherethey instantly melted into water.

“Let's go then; drinking hot sake is not bad on such cold nights." Sylvianodded before getting into their car.

“It gets really cold up north during winter and there is usually moresnow." Jasper started driving while reminiscing his childhoodmemories. "I used to love snuggling up with my dad during winter,playing with my friends outside making snowmen or having snowballfights. But after moving to Larro, I don't see much of it anymore."

"So why don't you go back home to visit your family at Urgford?" Sittinglazily on the back seat with cool almond-shaped eyes gazing out atfalling flakes outside, Sylvia asked Jasper who was driving.

Jasper froze for a moment upon hearing this question, but eventuallyreplied, “I'm not going back."

“It will soon be Christmas followed by New Year, said Sylvia as shecurled her lips slightly. "Your mother must miss you quite badly."Jasper remained silent; he couldn't help but think of Evie's pretty facewhen he heard about Christmas approaching.

Franklin only realized now that indeed Christmas was coming soonupon hearing their conversation.

A glint appeared briefly within Jasper's eyes as he thought deeplyabout something while Evie sneezed aboard an airplane. Shewondered if she had caught a cold even before arriving Urgford?

After getting off the plane, Evie grabbed her luggage and walked out ofthe terminal with the crowd, arriving at the airport entrance. She haileda taxi and gave Sylvia's address to the driver. As she watched thepassing scenery outside, she felt a little sleepy.

When Jasper, Franklin, and Sylvia returned to MI6 after dinner, theysaw a taxi parked in front of them with Evie stepping out of it. The olddriver was about to help her with her luggage when Evie lifted it herselfand grinned at him, saying, "I got this."

Jasper was taken aback by Evie's sudden appearance.

How did she get here?

Sylvia got out of the car and walked over to Evie, saying, "The flightwas on time. Let's go."

Evie greeted Sylvia, cheerfully saying, “Long time no see.”

But Sylvia raised an eyebrow, replying, “It hasn't been that long."

As Jasper drove into MI6, he pressed down on his racing heart, tryingto calm himself before entering into the lobby where he saw Evieunpacking gifts from her luggage.

One beautifully wrapped box after another came out from her suitcaseas she distributed them among everyone present including MasterFranklin who received one too.

Evie scanned around looking for Brayden and Jenna but couldn't replacethem until Sylvia informed her that they were staying in a hotel nearby.Sylvia asked when Evie would be returning back for training as wintersports were just around the corner, but Evie sighed heavily andcomplained how much trouble it was. "It's really tiring. I want to retire!"Sylvia lazily replied, "Go ahead then. It's not like you have nowhere togo after retirement. But I'm not sure if your coach will let you retireeasily."

Jasper held his gift given by Evie tightly, feeling its weight, even thoughit seemed light as feather.

While opening it up, he found a small clay figurine inside which lookedexactly like him including his clothes! It depicted him digging mudduring disaster relief work!

Jasper didn't know whether he should laugh or cry, seeing such anaccurate representation of himself in clay form!

He saw that Franklin had also opened his own box, and it seemed tocontain a clay figurine too.
