Chapter 5 Take Her Back

At Srixby International Airport.

As she navigated her way through the terminal, Hadley’s appearance was noticeably vibrant. Her gaze was alert, her eyes serene with an unwavering peacefulness that belied her age.

“You’ve undergone quite the transformation.”

Sebastian’s initial shock gave way to a warm grin. “You look even lovelier than

before.”

“Your flattery is generous, Sebastian.”

Hadley proceeded to the car and settled inside.

As they drove away, it dawned on her that only Sebastian had come to meet her; Eric was notably absent…

Soon, they arrived at Tranquille Sanatorium.
