Emily continued, her eyes brimming with hope, "But I really want to see him. I won't disturb him. I'll just stand far away and look at him from a distance, okay?"
Quintis couldn't refuse Emily's heartfelt plea.
Truth be told, he was also eager to catch a glimpse of Jack.
It was a profound regret in anyone's life to reach middle age without having enjoyed the joys of family. Despite his distinguished family background, this sense of loss couldn't be concealed.
He sighed helplessly.
"Alright, but we'll only look from a distance, and then we'll leave, okay? We mustn't approach him. I am worried that he'll leave if we do."
Emily quickly nodded and promised. "Alright, Quintis. I promise I won't disturb him."
He gently stroked her hair, letting out another quiet sigh. Honestly, he knew these promises meant nothing.
When they finally saw Jack, could Emily really keep her emotions in check?
Keeping it low-key, they went with just a driver and a bodyguard's car. Quietly, they made their way to Alnewgo University.
Throughout the journey, Emily held Quintis' hand tightly, her gaze constantly darting outside.
Though the drive was only half an hour, it felt like an eternity. Her heart, however, had already flown ahead to Alnewgo University...
Finally, they arrived at the university.
The thought of soon seeing the son she had longed for made Emily's heart pound with excitement.
They made their way to the male dormitory—Block 12, Room 502.
Quintis instructed the bodyguards to stay behind to avoid drawing unnecessary attention.
