Chapter 73: Going Home Chapter 73: Going Home Her expression hardened, her emotions locking away behind a calm mask.

Ikenna noticed the shift, his brows furrowing slightly.

He didn’t understand why her face suddenly changed, but he didn’t ask.

Because if he did… He might end up saying something he wasn’t ready to admit.

Seeing that he had nothing more to say, Nnenna turned to leave.

But just as she reached the door “Wait.” His voice stopped her in her tracks.

She spun around immediately, hope igniting in her chest.

Maybe he had changed his mind.

Maybe he did have something more to say.

Instead, she watched as Ikenna calmly pulled open a drawer, retrieved a good number of books and writing materials, then walked over to her.

“Somto asked me to give you these when you are discharged.

He would have come himself, but something held him back,” he said, placing them in her hands.

She stared down at the items, then back up at him, waiting, expecting more.

But Ikenna just stepped back.

“That’s it, then.

Go on now,” he said, his tone final.

Nnenna’s fingers clenched around the books as she swallowed the bitter taste of disappointment.

Without another word, she turned and walked out of the office.

As she stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the ground floor, a familiar chime rang in her ears.
