“The issue between Mason and me isn’t just about that D-list actress. It’s bigger than that. It’s his family. All these years of marriage, I’ve exhausted myself trying to it in with the Harts. Mason’s exhausted too. We come from completely different worlds. Forcing myself into theirs was never going to end well.
“This scandal with the actress, whether it’s true or not, gave me the excuse I needed to ask for a divorce.
“As for going to Seldoria, everyone has a reason not to go. But someone has to. If not me, then someone else. It’s all the same.”
She reached out and held Nella’s hand.
“I know you signed up too. I’m not going to talk you out of it. Professor Milo and Professor Quill know as well, and they didn’t stop you either. So let’s go together We can look out for each other. Isn’t that better?”
In the end, Nella didn’t try to convince her otherwise.
She understood Jasmine just as well as Jasmine understood her.
They had the same kind of personality. They seemed easygoing on the surface, but deep down, they were both incredibly stubborn.
Once they made up their minds, nothing could change it.
On the day they left for Seldoria, they didn’t say goodbye to anyone. They just headed straight to the airport.
But just as they were about to go through security, a sharp screech of tires echoed from outside the terminal.
Everyone turned to look.
A tall figure burst through the airport entrance, rushing toward them.
His eyes were bloodshot, locked onto Nella as he strode toward her.
Seeing Alfred, Nella froze in surprise, then furrowed he brow.
He stopped in front of her, opening his mouth several times as if he wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words.
Finally, a single hoarse sentence scraped out of his throat.
“Stay safe over there.”
Nella nodded. “I will.”
Alfred didn’t try to stop her. After a few more reminder he let her go.
“Goodbye.”
Even after Nella passed through security, Alfred stood frozen in place, unable to move.

Sergio, who had followed him in from outside, rushed over when he saw his boss standing there in a daze. He looked around but couldn’t find any sign of Nella.
“Mr. Keywood, did Mrs. Keywood… leave?”
Alfred’s eyes were red as he nodded, his jaw clenched tight, as if he was holding back a flood of emotions threatening to break loose.
“You… didn’t try to stop her?”
Alfred didn’t answer.
He knew in his heart that he couldn’t have stopped her even if he tried.
After a long silence, his strained voice finally broke. “Send a few people to Seldoria. Have them protect her from the shadows.”
Sergio was about to mention that doctors on international relief missions would be placed in UN- designated civilian protection zones.
But knowing how worried his boss was, he kept his mouth shut and simply agreed.
“I’ll have Richie pick out some of our best mercenaries. They’ll stay with her the whole time.”
