Chapter 261

Shocked, Elise quickly stepped backward. However, the woman stopped all of a sudden too. Her eyeswidened as she stared at Elise, who was standing in front of her. Thereafter, she became very agitatedand pulled Elise’s arm with force. “Yoyo… My dear Yoyo, you’re such a big girl now. Come here and letMommy take a closer look at you…” Elise was dumbfounded by the woman’s reaction, so she quicklypushed her away. “What are you doing?

Please don’t come near me. I’m not Yoyo.” However, the woman grabbed her even tighter. “No, you’reYoyo, You’re my Yoyo. Yoyo, Mommy missed you so much…” The woman started tearing up as shesaid that. For some reason, Elise felt sorry for the woman when she saw her weep.

As such, she stopped pushing her away and allowed the woman to tug at her without resisting. But thenext second, the woman directly reached out her arms to hug Elise. “I’m sorry, Yoyo. Mommy has letyou down…” Elise instinctively patted the woman’s back, and the woman gradually calmed down underElise’s appeasement.

Just then, a servant ran over in a fluster. “Madam, why are you here?” With that, the servant was aboutto pull the woman away, but the latter shoved her to the side. “Don’t touch me! I just want to be with myYoyo. Stay away, all of you!” “This is not Miss Yoyo, Madam. You’ve made a mistake.” “No, I did not! It’sher! She’s my Yoyo…” While saying that, the woman tightened her grasp on Elise. The servant was ina quandary as she said to Elise apologetically, “I’m so sorry for the trouble Madam had caused, MissSinclair.”

“It’s okay,” Elise said as she glanced toward the woman. At this moment, Faye walked over with agloomy face, but she still kept her shirt on and said to the woman, “Please let go of her, Mom. She’s notYoyo. She’s a guest of mine…” Nevertheless, the woman would not listen at all as she continued

holding onto Elise. Perceiving that the soft approach would not work, Faye ordered the servants behindher, “Why are you all still standing there?

Quickly go and pull my mother away.” The servants went forward to pull the woman, but the womanmustered all of her strength at this moment to hold onto Elise stubbornly and did not allow the others tocome near. “Go away, all of you! Don’t harm my Yoyo. Don’t come near…” Faye’s eyes darkened asshe could not be bothered about the others anymore and directly went up to seize the woman’s wrist.“Come to your senses! Yoona is already dead and won’t be back anymore no matter how you make afuss!” However, Faye’s words only served to provoke the woman further.

With an ear-piercing scream, the woman let go of Elise and crouched on the ground in agony. “No…no…” Seeing that, Faye gave a look to the servant behind her, who then quickly went forward andbrought the woman away. It was only after the woman had left did Faye say to Elise, “My apologies forcausing you trouble, Miss Sinclair.” Nonetheless, Elise was not curious about other people’s privatematters but she just felt sorry for that woman for some reason.

“No worries. Since our matter is already settled, I shall take my leave first,” she said. “Please walk MissSinclair out, Ms. Johnson.” “This way please, Miss Sinclair.” Rowena led Elise out of the bungalow andspecially arranged a chauffeur to send her back to the university. After getting out of the car, Elisewalked back to the hostel alone. The moment she opened the door, she saw a few large luggagesplaced in the middle of the room.

The light in the bathroom was on, and the sound of running tap could be heard. Elise put down her bagand sat down on the chair to unpack some of her own luggage. Just then, the bathroom door openedand a tall girl walked out. Seeing Elise, she asked directly, “Are you my roommate?” Elise hummed inresponse. “Yeah.” The girl was curious to see Elise wearing a mask, so she walked toward her andasked, “Are you sick?

Why are you wearing a mask?” Elise explained, “It’s nothing. It’s just more convenient to have a maskon.” Hearing that, Addison Whitlock did not continue asking as she introduced herself. “I’m AddisonWhitlock. What about you?” “Elise Sinclair.” Addison was astonished upon hearing this name. With hereyes wide open, she asked agitatedly, “Are you Elise Sinclair, the top scholar this year? The prodigywho scored full marks for a few papers in the exam?” Elise nodded. “Oh my gosh! It’s such a surpriseto have you as my roommate!” Addison wiped her wet hair and went to take her phone from the table.

“Do you know how impressive your result is? I have a friend who practically worships you like a god.”While saying that, Addison sent a voice message. “Hey, sis. Quickly come to my room. I want tointroduce a new friend to you.” Soon after the message was sent out, a knock on the door came forth.

Following that, a girl with short hair pushed the door open and walked in, “Hey, Addy! Who’s the newfriend?” As soon as she asked that, the girl saw Elise, who was standing in front of her, so she greetedcourteously, “Hello!” The next second, Addison pulled Elise over and wore a proud look. “Do you knowwho she is?” The girl responded with a puzzled look. Seeing that, Addison quickly said, “She’s youridol!” “What?” “Elise Sinclair! The top scholar!” At once, the girl looked toward Elise with a shockedexpression. Blinking her eyes, she inhaled deeply.

“You’re Elise Sinclair?” Elise was amused by the two girls’ reactions. Since when did I become sofamous that they have to be so stirred up upon hearing my name? “I’ve heard that you enrolled inTissote University, but I didn’t think that we would be in the same faculty. Hi, I’m Ricky Williams, Addy’schildhood friend. We grew up in the same neighborhood.” Ricky’s name was just as gender-neutral asher appearance.

“Nice to meet y’all!” Elise said courteously. Ricky was a straightforward person. She had long heardthat although this Elise Sinclair from Athesea was very good in her studies, she had an awfulappearance. Now that she saw Elise wearing a mask, she reckoned that the rumor was most probablytrue. “Nice to meet you! We’ll be studying at the same university from now on. I’m from the Linguistic

Faculty. Since we’re all from the same university, let’s get along well in the future.” After saying that,Addison glanced at her luggage which was placed on the floor and quickly explained to Elise, “I broughtthese along but didn’t have time to unpack them yet. Hope you don’t mind it.” “Not at all!”

“Don’t worry. I’ll keep them away by tomorrow so our room won’t be as messy as it is now.” Then,Addison quickly asked Ricky to give her a hand. “By the way, Elise, tomorrow will be the openingceremony and the military training will begin the day after. Did you prepare some sunscreen?” Elisefrequently put on makeup in the past, so sunscreen was a necessity. However, she had rarely usedcosmetic products ever since she regained her original look, so she did not bring along the sunscreen.

“I forgot to bring it, but I can go get a new one tomorrow.” As soon as she said that, Addison quicklysaid, “That’s not necessary. My family just launched a new sunscreen, and it’s very effective. I’ll giveyou one.” With that, Addison went to take a new sunscreen from her dressing table and passed it toElise.

“You can give it a try. It’s very effective in shielding the sunlight, and you don’t have to be worried aboutgetting a sunburn even during military training.” “Addy, are you here to be a promoter? You’re evenpromoting the new product developed by your brother’s company at this moment!” “That’s not true! Ijust feel that this sunscreen is pretty good. I just wanted to share the good things with you girls.” Elisereceived it and said, “Thanks!” Hearing that, Addison smiled brightly.

“You’re welcome. We’ll be roommates from now on, so let’s help each other out when there’s a need.”Before this, Elise was still worried that she would not be able to adapt to the new environment.Nevertheless, with a roommate like Addison, she reckoned her days in the university would not be asboring as expected.
