Chapter 115:

“Thank you,” she said quietly, her eyes meeting his. “It’s been so long since anyone’s looked after me like this p>

Since Hiram passed away, she had been on her own, with no one to care for her.

Her voice was calm and casual, as though she had made peace with the past.

Nonetheless, Ector’s chest tightened at her words.

Without thinking, he reached out and ruffled her damp hair with tenderness.

“Everything will get better,” he said softly.

Fernanda nodded. “It will p>

Sensing the somber turn in the conversation, Ector shifted gears. “You’re starting school soon. Do you need anything? Let me know, and I’ll take care of it p>

“I don’t need much,” she said thoughtfully, “but I’ve decided to live on campus p>

Ector’s brows knitted together.

University dorms offered independence and a personal space that every student cherished.

Yet many locals, with flexible schedules, chose to stay home.

Ector understood, though.

Fernanda’s decision was more about escaping the oppressive atmosphere of the Morgan household than embracing campus life.

Ector nodded eventually. “Alright, it’s your choice. Erika lives on campus too but comes home often. Remember, you can always come back. This is your home too p>

Ector’s words carried a quiet resolve. He wouldn’t allow the other members of the Morgan family to show any disdain for Fernanda anymore. She had suffered enough, and he felt it was their duty to make amends.

Now that she had finally returned, rather than mending their wrongs, they only added to her struggles. The constant turmoil left Ector seething with frustration.

Fernanda gave him a small, appreciative nod, sensing his genuine care.

She couldn’t help but wonder how people raised in the same household could turn out so differently.

Ector was the embodiment of kindness and grace, while Erika’s presence was nothing short of infuriating.

After chatting for a while, Ector reminded Fernanda to get some rest and left her to retire for the night.

Fernanda climbed into bed, her body sinking into the mattress as she flipped open her laptop.

With a few quick taps, she navigated to a news website, her eyes intent as she adjusted the date to the day she rejoined the Morgan family.

She scrolled through the archives, combing through every piece of news linked to her name. At first, the mentions were sparse, but following her appearance at the Harper family’s banquet, the reports multiplied. By the time she sat for the Esaham University entrance exam, her name was splashed across the headlines, dominating the news cycle.
