“I’ve been screaming inside for a while now,” Rebecca admitted truthfully. She was very excited. Ever since Rebecca heard the good news from Jessica, her heart hadn’t settled down for a single moment

She couldn’t figure out how to put all these feelings into words. All she knew for sure was that her mom was getting better.

“Never mind. If I were you, I’d be totally speechless too,” Jessica said, knowing her all too well. “Ms. Jensen is almost awake, and she needs time to recover, and Samuel will start elementary school next year. Have you thought about your next plan?”

Rebecca paused, thinking it over. “I want to leave Jelasburg”

Outside the break room, as soon as Rebecca uttered those words, Jeffrey, who was leaning against the wall, felt a chill settling deep into his bones. His eyes turned cold, and a frosty aura began to surround him.

“Jeffrey doesn’t want to divorce me,” Rebecca said, finally finding, her courage. “I can’t stand seeing him get involved with Andrea. The only way out for me is to leave”

‘Worst case scenario, I can just keep Samuel in private school all the way through, Rebecca thought to herself. ‘Once he’s done with high school, he can go study abroad

“But you know Jeffrey. It doesn’t matter if you run to the ends of the world–he’ll always track you down, Jessica said. “Still, judging by that property transfer, Ms. Jensen’s no ordinary wortan. Maybe she will get some way out of this.”

“Let’s talk about it after she wakes up,” Rebecca replied. She’d already worked out a plan last night. “After she wakes, she’ll need some time for rehab. That’ll be just enough time for us to make our next move”

“Is that so?” An icy voice sounded.
