Chapter 1258
Early the next morning, Thalassa packed her bags and set off with her mother.
Their destination was her mother’s hometown of Rivertown in Eldoria.
Thalassa had looked up Eldoria online and found it to be a place of picturesque beauty-
with rolling hills, serene waters and lush greenery. It seemed like the perfect spot for a
relaxing getaway. Besides, it was Evelyn’s birthplace, and perhaps being there would lift
some of her mother’s spirits.
They had booked plane tickets for the trip.
After a two-hour flight, they arrived at Eldoria Airport.
Holding her mother’s hand, Thalassa walked to the curb to hail a cab, planning to head to
the hotel she had booked.
Traveling light with only a few changes of clothes, Thalassa believed in the ease of
minimal baggage-after all, they were on vacation, and there was no sense in being
weighed down by unnecessary items.
Soon, they arrived at the hotel. Thalassa set down their luggage and took a moment to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrest before turning to Evelyn, “Mom, there’s a park nearby. Let’s go check it out.”
Back in Starhaven, Evelyn always worried about bumping into Bruce or other
acquaintances.
But there was no need for such concerns in Rivertown. They were surrounded by
strangers, free to explore without hesitation.
Evelyn had been cooped up in Starhaven, avoiding public gatherings and seldom stepping
out, likely for fear of running into Bruce,
Remaining in such a stifling environment wasn’t good for anyone’s well-being.
A walk outside could help alleviate some of the pent-up stress.
Evelyn nodded, “Sure, that sounds nice.”
Arm in arm, the mother and daughter made their way to the nearby man-made park.
The park was a triumph of greenery, with vibrant trees and fragrant flowers, and the lake
water was crystal clear.
Strolling along the lake shore, the scent of flora carried by a gentle breeze was
invigorating. Thalassa felt a sense of relaxation she hadn’t experienced in a long time.
She wondered if it was just her imagination, but the water in Eldoria seemed clearer, and
the breeze softer and more pleasant than back in Starhaven.

Chapter 1258
It had been a while since she had felt such a liberating sense of peace.
Chatting with Evelyn, Thalassa remarked, “Mom, don’t you think the air here in Eldoria
feels fresher than back in Starhaven?”
For the first time in a while, Evelyn’s usually worried face cracked a smile, “Yes, it’s
definitely fresher. There’s nothing like the air from home.”
Seeing her mother smile, Thalassa’s mood lifted.
As long as her mother was happy, that was all that mattered.
As they walked, Thalassa’s eyes caught a figure leaning against the railing of an artificial
bridge. A man with a cane was gazing at the tranquil lake, seemingly lost in thought,
oblivious to the world around him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSomething about the man’s silhouette seemed familiar.
With a hint of surprise, Thalassa approached and realized it was Callum!
“Mr. Gordon, what are you doing here?” Thalassa asked in astonishment.
Callum turned around at the sound of her voice. Seeing Thalassa, his somber eyes lit up
with recognition.
“Thalassa? What a coincidence!” Callum said with a warm smile, then turned to greet
Evelyn.
“Hello. Mr. Gordon, what brings you to Eldoria?” Evelyn knew Callum. He had helped them
out of a tight spot before. She was grateful to Callum. Despite just being an acquaintance
of Thalassa’s, he had been willing to help.
“I was referred to a specialist here in Eldoria, someone with a reputation for treating
complex bone fractures. I’m here for treatment and thought I’d enjoy the scenery as well,”
Callum explained with a gentle smile.
Hearing that he was here for treatment, Thalassa felt a twinge of guilt. It was because of
her that Callum had broken his leg and his wrist.
Thalassa felt terribly sorry for Callum.
