“Tomorrow you'll find out,” Sylvia said, her lips curled. "I'll be at the

medical school at nine o'clock sharp.”

"Ms. Jefferson, she's got such a presence!" A girl leaned in to Haylie

and admired Sylvia's graceful figure from behind. "She's so young but

has so much knowledge in her field."

"When we watched the movie, she showed off her expertise and I could

tell she was a real pro. There were some difficult points that I didn't

even understand.” Haylie became more curious about Sylvia.

When did Urgford's medical circle produce such a talented young

woman? Why hadn't there been any news about it? And that handsome

young man looked familiar.

After leaving the cinema, it was already past nine in the evening.

"What do you want to eat?" Franklin asked with his deep voice that

sounded particularly pleasant in the night breeze.

Sylvia felt a flutter. "Let's just grab something and head back.”

"Hmm, how about some hot sake or grilled meat?" Just as Franklin

spoke, a gust of cold wind blew through carrying light snowflakes from

above.

The snowflakes fell like small pebbles onto Sylvia's open palm where

they instantly melted into water.

“Let's go then; drinking hot sake is not bad on such cold nights." Sylvia

nodded before getting into their car.

“It gets really cold up north during winter and there is usually more

snow." Jasper started driving while reminiscing his childhood

memories. "I used to love snuggling up with my dad during winter,

playing with my friends outside making snowmen or having snowball

fights. But after moving to Larro, I don't see much of it anymore."

"So why don't you go back home to visit your family at Urgford?" Sitting

lazily on the back seat with cool almond-shaped eyes gazing out at

falling flakes outside, Sylvia asked Jasper who was driving.

Jasper froze for a moment upon hearing this question, but eventually

replied, “I'm not going back."

“It will soon be Christmas followed by New Year, said Sylvia as she

curled her lips slightly. "Your mother must miss you quite badly."

Jasper remained silent; he couldn't help but think of Evie's pretty face

when he heard about Christmas approaching.

Franklin only realized now that indeed Christmas was coming soon

upon hearing their conversation.

A glint appeared briefly within Jasper's eyes as he thought deeply

about something while Evie sneezed aboard an airplane. She

wondered if she had caught a cold even before arriving Urgford?

After getting off the plane, Evie grabbed her luggage and walked out of

the terminal with the crowd, arriving at the airport entrance. She hailed

a taxi and gave Sylvia's address to the driver. As she watched the

passing scenery outside, she felt a little sleepy.

When Jasper, Franklin, and Sylvia returned to MI6 after dinner, they

saw a taxi parked in front of them with Evie stepping out of it. The old

driver was about to help her with her luggage when Evie lifted it herself

and grinned at him, saying, "I got this."

Jasper was taken aback by Evie's sudden appearance.

How did she get here?

Sylvia got out of the car and walked over to Evie, saying, "The flight

was on time. Let's go."

Evie greeted Sylvia, cheerfully saying, “Long time no see.”

But Sylvia raised an eyebrow, replying, “It hasn't been that long."

As Jasper drove into MI6, he pressed down on his racing heart, trying

to calm himself before entering into the lobby where he saw Evie

unpacking gifts from her luggage.

One beautifully wrapped box after another came out from her suitcase

as she distributed them among everyone present including Master

Franklin who received one too.

Evie scanned around looking for Brayden and Jenna but couldn't find

them until Sylvia informed her that they were staying in a hotel nearby.

Sylvia asked when Evie would be returning back for training as winter

sports were just around the corner, but Evie sighed heavily and

complained how much trouble it was. "It's really tiring. I want to retire!"

Sylvia lazily replied, "Go ahead then. It's not like you have nowhere to

go after retirement. But I'm not sure if your coach will let you retire

easily."

Jasper held his gift given by Evie tightly, feeling its weight, even though

it seemed light as feather.

While opening it up, he found a small clay figurine inside which looked

exactly like him including his clothes! It depicted him digging mud

during disaster relief work!

Jasper didn't know whether he should laugh or cry, seeing such an

accurate representation of himself in clay form!

He saw that Franklin had also opened his own box, and it seemed to

contain a clay figurine too.
