MALENA’S MEADOW
The manager did not expect Rebeca to survive. When she was brought to the hospital that day, she wasn’t breathing or showing any sighs in the the had even prepared for her funeral expenses.
Now, seeing her standing in front of him, he was takenaliack and a little frightened.
“Manager, I want to take a few days off, Rebecca sal, breaking the silence.
The manager looked at her in surprise, finding it hard to believe. What do you mean? Are you planning to continue working as a cleaner hereti Rebecca nodded, feeling helpless and said. “Thild a new job, I can mily stay at Malone’s Meadow.“
Hearing this, the manager tapped his fingertips on the table, his gare becoming serious. “To be frank, Malena’s Meadow can’t afford to keep you You’ve been fired.”
With that, he took out a thick envelope from the drawer.
vat suits you better.”
“Inside this envelope is $20,000. It’s Malena’s compensation for you. Take the money and find a new job that Rebecca’s gaze fell on the envelope. If it weren’t for her struggles with alcoholism, the manager wouldn’t have offered her sich a generous amount.
Seeing this as an opportunity, he could not only sever ties with her but also regain a good reputation. It was like killing two birds with one stone, Rebecca laughed at herself a
and remained silent
Previously, the reason she had stayed at Malena’s Meadow was because she had no money. But now that Malena had given her $20,000, she no longer had to worry about bring homeless when she left.
That afternoon, Rebecca packed her belongings and left Malena’s Meadow without informing anyone of her destination.
TWO DAYS LATER
Rebecca rented
d a house in Nolan Apartments, located in the east part of the city.
Wearing the first new outfit she had bought since her release from prison, Rebecca had neat, short hair that suited her well, giving her a refreshing and capable yet gentle appearance.
After a simple breakfast, she hurriedly left and took a taxi to the kindergarten,
Arriving early, Rebecca found that the kindergarten had not yet opened, so she patiently waited at the gate.
Although it had been four years since she last saw Rebeccaana, she was remarkably confident and certain that she would be able to instantly recognize her amongst countless other children.
As more parents arrived to drop off their children, luxury cars lined the side of the road. The adults and children exuded a natural elegance and beauty, with gestures that carried an innate sense of privilege.
Rebecca dared not blink, fearing she might miss Rebeccaans in the crowd. She couldn’t stand in a conspicuous spot, yet being too far away would hinder her from spotting Rebecca
With each passing moment, the number of people at the kindergarten entrance dwindled. Reberca grew increasingly anxious.
Suddenly, the gate was closed. Rebecca hurried forward and called out to the gatekeeper, “Excuse me, wait a moment.”
The gatekeeper turned to her. “What is it?”
“Does the kindergarten close before nine o’clock?” Bebecca asked, ber anxiety evident.
The uniformed guard looked at her warily. “Which class are you a parent of?”
Rebecca hesitated. She hadn’t mentioned to Emily which class Rebeccaan attended.

Reboren couldn’t answer?
Emily had written down the name and address of the kindergarten hot ludn’t mentioned the specific class Rebecca win.
“If you’re not a parent, you can’t walk at the school gate. Consider this a verbal warning. If you come again, I’ll call the police in “Sir, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not a bad persim,” Relieren tried to explain.
“Don’t talk sense, move along,” the guard interrupted, turning away and returning to the concierge, ignoring her completely. Rebecca orm Frustrated but didn’t get angry. Instead, she felt dejected, followed by a sense of anxiety and worry.
why hadn’t the Evans family sent Rebeccaana to school today? Was it because Rebeccaana was omvell and couldn’t remember, or was the sick or perhaps something else had caused a delay?
Rebecca couldn’t give up and continued waiting near the kindergarten entrance, her eyes fixed on the school gate.
Not having seen her daughter for four years had left her feeling down the entire day. She had no appetite and was solely focused on getting through today and tomoLTON,
For the next three days, Rebecca arrived at the kindergarten entrance at Ka.m. and waited until nearly noon. However, just like the first day, the person she longed to see never showed up.
Rebecca couldn’t remain calm anymore. She had a terrible premonition. Either something had happened to Rebeccaana or something had happened to the Evans family. Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense for them to keep Rebeccaana from school for several days.
At that moment, a bold idea crossed her mind: she had to go to the Chris’s house!
Regardless of Chris’s attitude towards her, she needed to go there to find out about Rebeccaana’s situation
AFTER A WHILE
Royal Garden Villa was one of the most luxurious villas in New York City.
Standing in front of the imposing black wrought iron gate, Rebecca was overwhelmed by thoughts and emotions.
This had been her and Chris’s home. She had lived here for three years, but as she approached, it felt unfamiliar, and she lacked the courage to get any closer.
For some reason, her nose suddenly tingled, and tears threatened to fall. She managed to control her emotions and proven herself from breaking down
After a moment, Rebecca raised her hand to ring the doorbell Just then, someone happened to step out of the villa.
“Granny Agatha!” she exclaimed with excitement.
Agatha turned towards the voice and walked towards the door. When she saw that it was Rebecca, she felt both surprised and happy. She quickly opened the door and invited her inside.
“Mistress Rebecca, you’re back,” she said, her voice tinged with surprise.
| “Granny Agatha, how have you been?” Rebecca asked.
“Fine, fine…” Agatha’s voice suddenly broke, and she began to cry. It wasn’t tears of joy, but tears of sadness. It’s not good, not good at all.”
Rebecca supported Agatha, concerned. “Granny Aatha, what’s wrong? Why are you crying like this? What happened?”
Agatha couldn’t find the words to respond, only sobbing
Rebecca felt a surge of arielly and asked urgently. “Granny Agatha, what’s happened? Please tell me.
Agatha wiped her tears, and let out a pained sigh.
“You’re Rebeccaana’s mother. I can’t hide it from you. Rebeccaana fell off a swing and hat her head. She suffered intracranial hemorrhage and fractured her ris
Those words hat Rebecca like a bolt of lightning. She was shocked, feeling as if a knife had pierced her heart
Chapter 35
No wonder Rebeccaana had been set to kindergarten Something had indeed happened:
Rebecca tightly gripped Agatha’s arm, her voice trembling “Granny Agetha, tell me, which hospital to Rebarea in the ward to take
care of her.”
Agatha sadly shook her head. “Mistress Reberen, you’re too late. Yesterday, Young Master took Rebeccaana alienad. The doctor advised against keeping her in New York City due to the low temperature, which isn’t ronducive to her recovery”
Rebecca collapsed, nearly fainting.
She berated herself for walking
na until today to come to the Evans residence. Even if the hat a day earlier, she wouldn’t have missed them.
Now that Chris had taken Rebeccaana nyerseas, she had no idea when she would be able to see her again.
The feeling of helplessness and despair overwhelmed her, and she found herself squatting on the ground, crying.
“Rebecca, I’m sorry. Mother arrived too late. Lean’t be there to take care of you when you’re injured and sick. I’m a terrable mother, the port in the world…”
Agatha tried to comfort her, her voice filled with distress. “Don’t be sad, don’t worry. Young Master will take good care of Rebeccaana,”
Though Rebecca managed to stop crying, the grief continued to consume her from deep within. As she stood up, dizziness overwhelmed her, and the fainted.
