Cherish After Losing Novel Ashley

Chapter240

Grandma Rong said, “Ashley was under your care many years ago.”

“It was my pleasure,” Nan Zhizhi replied.“She’s recently achieved significant results in her research. She hasn’t buried her talent. You can rest assured.”

Neither Nan Zhizhi nor Grandma Rong had pressured Ashley about abandoning her studies ecause of Chase. They believed young people needed to experience setbacks, learning from their mistakes. The fear was that they’d become lost in despair. Fortunately, Ashley hadn’t given up after her struggles.

Grandma Rong, having witnessed Steve’s fate, had worried, but excessive interference could be counterproductive. She’d let Ashley make her own choices. Hearing Nan Zhizhi’s words, she felt immense relief.“Good, good. That’s wonderful.”

Ashley sat beside Nan Zhizhi, who was engaged in conversation with Grandma Rong. Leaning towards Tim, she whispered, “Thank you.” She sensed her grandmother’s happiness at Nan Zhizhi’s arrival.
