Soon, they arrived in Jangasas.
Lina felt emotional seeing the place where she grew up and the familiar scenery she knew so well—the alleys, streets, cafes, and playgrounds.
Even the Jenners' old house in the alley brought back memories: the smoke in the alley, her mom's delicious food, and the explosive friendship between Mary and Melissa. It felt like a lifetime had passed since those days.
Abigail exited the car with Lina, who was now in 'full armor'. They held hands and walked along the road adorned with roses.
Lina chuckled. "If we keep going straight, we'll reach my university."
"Do you like your school?" Abigail asked.
"I can only say I don't hate it," Lina replied softly. "It's a prestigious school, and my parents spent a lot of money to send me there for a better education. But it's filled with wealthy kids, and I don't really fit into their world, so..."
"So you didn't have many friends?" Abigail patted her arm. "I know that feeling of loneliness. I experienced something similar when I first entered the entertainment industry."
Lina was taken aback. She couldn't deny that she had friends.
Back then, she had Gia by her side. They used to walk hand in hand on the streets, wearing white dresses. When the wind blew, pollen would land on their dresses, and they would smile as sweet as ice cream.
However, as time passed, they went their separate ways.
Lina sighed, feeling the subtle pain in her waist growing worse.
"Look, Lina!" Abigail handed her phone to her.
Carla had already gone to the aesthetic clinic, which was located in a secluded area and was known for its skilled doctor, attracting many celebrities.
