Skylar did not interrupt Lizzie as she spoke. She listened quietly as Lizzie recounted her past with Muriel.

Lizzie had initially pursued Muriel. It was her proactive approach that brought them together.

Many people liked Muriel at that time, including Paul, but he never competed with Lizzie. Once they were together, they inspired each other and excelled in their field.

Unfortunately, for some reason, they were forced to part ways later on.

Lizzie didn’t disclose the reason for their separation. For about ten minutes, she fell silent. She seemed consumed by painful memories, her gazes filled with sorrow and longing.

“If I hadn’t gotten involved with her back then, she definitely wouldn’t be in this situation today,” Lizzie lamented.

Skylar could only offer her comfort. “We all need to look forward. Muriel still carries the light of pursuing her dreams. She has never given up.”

When a person compromised with reality and was subsequently knocked down, they became dull and lifeless, drifting through life like a zombie without their own thoughts. But with Muriel, Skylar saw someone who bravely forged ahead. She was undeterred by reality and moved closer to her dreams step by step.

If Muriel had given up on her dreams, she wouldn’t still be devoted to jewelry design. She maintained her aspirations in her own ways.

Selling at the night market further showcased Muriel’s persistence.

Skylar admired those who upheld their original intentions in difficult circumstances. Upon hearing Skylar’s words, Lizzie first froze in surprise, then smiled and nodded.

“She looks fragile, but once she makes up her mind about something, she never backs down.”

In Lizzie’s demeanor and speech, there was no hiding her feelings for Muriel. Even after several years, those once intense emotions still lingered in her heart, becoming increasingly irreplaceable.

Many people pursued her. However, once someone had made space in their heart for another, no matter how dazzling a presence was, it could never compare to that special person.

Slylar stayed with Lizzie until midnight. Afterward, Skylar dropped Lizzie off at her home.

By the time she got back, it 2:00 am. Joe should still be awake at this hour.

After taking a shower, she glanced at her phone. A few hours earlier, before having dinner with Steven and Mona, she had Joe about his flight schedule for the next day. She wanted to know when he would land, but he hadn’t replied yet.

He must still be busys He had left in a rush and hurried back due to the terrorist attack. With everything piling up, he likely hadn’t had time to check his phone.

Skylar resisted the urge to call him.

She then checked the news about the terrorist attack in Murida. It appeared that the situation had calmed down now.

After a good night’s sleep, she woke up at dawn. The first thing she did was reach for her phone.

There was still no response from Joe. A sense of unease settled in her heart, and she couldn’t help but worry. She immediately sent a message to Paul, inquiring about their flight schedule and landing time.

At this time, she wasn’t sure if they were busy or still on the plane. Just like Joe, her message to Paul had gone unanswered for over half an hour.

Next, she began to check the flight status from Murida. Flights were scheduled to arrive in the mid–afternoon and late afternoon. The lack of replies from Joe and Paul made it hard for her to relax.

She spent the whole day at home. Despite waiting for two flights to arrive, Joe still had not called her.
