No Escape from Love novel Chapter 293

Mom's spirits had improved significantly, and there was a hint of anticipation on her face.

"Serena, from now on, we'll be able to live a good life, right?"

I held her hand tightly and gave her a reassuring look. "Yes, Mom. Everything will get better."

The car Lucas had sent was already waiting downstairs. It was a black Mercedes, and it was parked there so openly that it was hard to miss.

The driver got out, helped load some of our luggage into the trunk, and then respectfully opened the door for Mom and me. The car moved smoothly along the wide road, the scenery outside speeding past in a blur.

I gazed out the window. A new life was about to begin, but I had no idea what awaited me.

It wasn't long before we arrived at the apartment building. The first thing I noticed was the surveillance camera installed at the entrance.

The building manager, a warm and friendly woman, helped me carry my things inside as she explained, "The company installed it to ensure employee safety. A while ago, a female employee who lived alone was being stalked, so now, there are cameras on every floor."

When I stepped into the apartment Lucas had arranged for me, I realized it was even better than I had expected. It was a two-bedroom unit with a simple yet elegant design. It was fully furnished with all the necessary appliances.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city lights stretched out like a galaxy of stars—bright, dazzling, and full of life.

"Do you like it, Mom?" I asked as I helped her sit on the couch.

She looked around, a satisfied smile appearing on her face. "I do. It's wonderful here."

After settling Mom into her room, I started unpacking my own things.

Lucas had been incredibly thoughtful as even the wardrobe was stocked with new clothes, from underwear to outerwear. They were all neatly arranged. As I took them out one by one, a complicated mix of emotions surged within me.

At least now, I could breathe easy. This place wasn't some run-down, overcrowded dorm room—it was a real home.
