Elara hung up the phone and, after saying something to the teacher, left the classroom abruptly. Asher and Daphne both looked up, glancing at her as she walked out.

Daphne asked, "Where is she going?" It was clear something was wrong since Elara had left right in the middle of class. Asher noticed the panic on her face and frowned. Once she left school, Elara called the driver to pick her up. There were no high-speed trains available yet, and the regular train would take too long, so driving was the only option. She thought back to before the time travel when she had also received the news about her father's accident and had asked Asher to come along with her.

But he had refused. He said he had classes to attend and wouldn't be of much help even if he went, but in reality, he had chosen to stay for Daphne's birthday instead. "Elara. Hearing her name, Elara looked up and saw Lysander approaching. His car was parked by the school gate. He stepped out and said, "Get in."

Elara hadn't expected to see him here at this time. He should've been in class. Seeing him, she said, "My dad's been in an

accident."

"know," Lysander responded calmly, showing none of the panic one might expect from someone who wasn't even twenty yet. I heard from my uncle, so I came to pick you up." Hearing this, Elara got into the car. Tve already called my driver to come get me."

Just tell him to head back. I'll take you there. My uncle happens to be there too, Lysander said.

Compared to Asher's dismissive attitude before the time travel, Lysander's response was incredibly reassuring and made her feel more at ease.

Yet despite having gone through this once before, Elara still couldn't handle the reality of the situation. Before the time travel, her father had been on a business trip when a road collapse caused the accident But now, Barrett should've avoided that disaster.

Tve time traveled, so why is this happening again? Elara thought. And why did the accident happen even earlier this time?

The drive to their destination would take over five hours, and Elara couldn't keep calm. She leaned against the car window, gripping her wrist tightly in an attempt to stop herself from shaking, but it was impossible to control Barrett was the person who loved her the most in the world. The tragedy that had marked her life before the time travel began right after Barrett's death.

All she wanted was for him to stay. She had worked so hard to return to Barrett's side. She couldn't bear to lose him again.

It was raining outside. Lysander, noticing how she sat silently by the window, tears streaming down her face, handed her a bottle of water, twisting off the cap for her. "Elara, have some water."
