Chapter 48 Waiting at the Gate Timothy and Helen got their meals, found a quiet corner, sat down, and started eating. 林完6%麵 Finished Wendy stood near the gate of the institute, tucked into corner, holding a stack of neatly organized papers in her arms. She kept her eyes fixed on the entrance, witing. Her delicate, polished face was tight with worry. She had already waited more than four hours, from morning until afternoon. She was starving, but she didn't dare leave. She was afraid that the moment she stepped away, she would miss Philip. She had already waited this long.

She refused to give up now. The longer she waited, the more anxious she became, and a bit of frustration bubbled up inside her. As the heiress of the Walcott family, the richest family in Veridia, when had she ever been forced to wait like this? People usually revolved around her. This, to her, felt like humiliation.
