Chapter 710 Sudden Return
Darion said, “Thanks for taking this on.”
Natasha waved her hand. “If there’s a way to treat him, I’ll do everything I can. If not, there’s nothing I can do. But don’t lose hope. Medicine is moving fast these days. Who knows, maybe in a decade or so, there’ll be a cure.”
“Yeah,” Darion replied.
The living room fell silent for a moment.
Natasha couldn’t take the tension in the room. She waved it off and said, “I’m feeling a bit worn out. I’ll go rest for a bit. Just let me know when dinner’s ready, okay?”
“Thalia?” Darion called out.
He listened intently for any sign of her, tilting his head as he tried to figure out where she was. He hadn’t been able to find her since just now, and he couldn’t help feeling a little anxious.
Just then, he heard the soft sound of footsteps. A breeze brushed past him, carrying her unique scent, a faint, familiar fragrance that filled the air.
He reached out, grabbed her arm, and traced down until he found her hand. His fingers slipped between hers, completely wrapping around her small hand.

Thalia gave his hand a gentle shake, then traced a message on his palm: [I’ve been here the whole time.]

Thalia’s back stiffened slightly, tense and taut.
The servants who had been bustling around the living room left without a sound, leaving just the two of them alone in the spacious room.

the Holt family when she got back. But she never imagined she’d get caught up in something so dangerous.
It completely blindsided her.
‘Great-grandma…”
Just then, Keith’s childish voice rang out from the doorway, full of excitement.
A few seconds later, a gentle, elderly voice called out, “It’s freezing out here, Keith. Why
are you outside? Your little face is all cold. Come on, let’s go inside.”
Thalia’s pupils contracted in fear, her face going pale with panic.
It was Diana’s voice.
Diana was back.
Before Thalia could do anything, Diana was wheeled into the room.
When Diana saw Thalia, she stopped in her tracks, then her wrinkled face lit up with a big smile. “Thalia, you’re back!”
