?<strong>Chapter 427:</strong>


    Joelle had been attending psychological therapy sessions for more than two weeks.


    After her nightmares ended, she started to engage more fully in life. Aurora hade of age to various hobby sses.


    Thus, Joelle also signed up for dance, singing, and art sses, primarily to heal the effects of the past on Aurora. Luckily, her dedication began to show results, as Aurora became noticeably happier.


    Day by day, Joelle sensed an improvement in their lives. That was until she went shopping with Katherine and unexpectedly encountered Wade.


    His gaze was filled with hostility.


    Previously, Wade had been affable with Joelle, but now he regarded her as if she were an enemy.


    He was apanied by a woman, likely his girlfriend. Joelle couldn’t quite pinpoint why, but she sensed no need to involve herself in unfamiliar social settings.


    “Katherine, let’s check out a different store.”


    Noticing Wade, Katherine grasped the situation.


    gα?ησν????s, home to unforgettable stories


    His hatred wouldn’t upset Joelle; it would only remind her of her ties to Rnd’s demise.


    “Katherine, I need to use the restroom,” Joelle said.


    She went to the restroom and began searching her bag for her medication.


    During her initial consultation with a psychologist, she was diagnosed with moderate depression and prescribed medication. She concealed her true condition to spare her loved ones from worry.


    After taking her medication, Joelle found that her right hand was steadier than before.


    As Joelle left the restroom, Katherine quickly pulled her aside with a secretive air.


    “Joelle, guess what I just overheard?”


    “What?”


    Katherine stealthily looked toward the luxury store where Wade had been.


    “The salesperson mentioned Wade was ordering shoes for their wedding.”


    Joelle, still under the influence of her medication and processing slowly, responded indifferently, “So what?”


    Katherine clicked her tongue in frustration, dismayed by Joelle’s disinterest. “Think about it. Wade ims to care deeply about Rnd, yet after everything that happened, he’s still ready to marry?”


    Joelle grew quiet at her words.


    However, Katherine was her friend and naturally viewed everything from Joelle’s perspective.


    Realistically, if Wade intended to marry his girlfriend, it wasn’t inherently wrong.


    “Forget it. Whatever he does is irrelevant to us. Let’s move on.”
