Chapter 371

Came to think of it, it had been a while since the three of them last got together.Especially after Spencer got divorced, he barely ever went to any gatherings. Jacob and Connor were shocked to see him again. He seemed somewhat better compared to how haggard he looked when he had been hospitalized last time. However, he was still much thinner than before. Not only that, his entire demeanor basically seemed to change.He used to be full of conceit and was distant. Yet, he would easily boast his confidence and pride that only a truly successful person would have.He was still conceited, of course. A leopard could not change its spots. However, he became much more reserved.In other words, his previous flamboyance was akin to flaunting a legendary sword. It was razor-sharp and glimmered brightly. Now, that sword was well hidden in his sheath. That glimmer would no longer be seen by anyone.Perhaps the entire sheath itself was covered in dust. It wasn't even worth paying attention

Spencer curled his lips and asked, "Don't you need to go for training?""Some time will be taken for preparation before the training camp," Jacob explained. "I can make time. A few days off is doable.""Alright, then."Seeing the two easily figure out the details of the outing, Connor quickly spoke up, "I'm coming, too!"Jacob glared at him. "You're coming? Forget it."Connor was reluctant."What do you mean 'forget it'?""Just stay put here."…The outing was decided. Spencer didn't have to do much, whereas Jacob had to handle preparation for two days before managing to find time to head out.The two of them didn't go that far.Jacob was the one who organized things. They first departed on the high-speed rail. Then, they rented a shared bicycle after getting off and rode to the base of a mountain together. All this was quite interesting for Spencer.The two hiked their way up the mountain. Lush greenery was everywhere they could see. The view from the top was astoundin

Chapter 373

Spencer was hospitalized once again. This time, his duodenal ulcer had bled out.Jacob didn't expect him to be this childish. Spencer was a grown man nearing his 30s, for God's sake!Who exactly said he wouldn't do anything rash yesterday? Yet, he went and downed multiple bottles of foreign wine by himself in the middle of the night?Jacob was greeted by the smell of alcohol as he opened the door to the hotel room. Spencer lay there, unmoving like he was dead.Jacob practically had a heart attack. Upon reaching the hospital and learning that it was a bleeding ulcer, he nearly got scared to death.This would have been fatal if Spencer had lost too much blood!Thankfully, they noticed in time. He hadn't lost too much blood. After an emergency treatment, his vitals finally became stable. Jacob didn't dare to call Enrique as he was out of town.Thankfully, the doctor said that it was not life-threatening. Spencer just had to rest well and be mindful of his diet."You can't even

Ariana forgave him. The two embraced one another tightly.And then, Spencer awoke from his dream.Jacob was sitting by his bedside. After scolding him, he said, "Look what you've done to yourself! What am I supposed to tell Mr. Ulrich Senior when I get back?"Spencer opened his eyes, then kept them shut again.It felt like Ariana's warmth and familiar, tantalizing fragrance were still lingering in his arms.But now, it was all gone.If he had the option, he would wish he could keep dreaming forever and never wake up.Jacob inhaled deeply and began giving him instructions.Finally, he said, "Not even celery. You hear?"Spencer still had a dazed, lost expression on his face.Jacob seriously wanted to punch him right then and there. He inhaled deeply again. "I'm going back to the division. I've already wasted half a day…"Spencer opened his eyes again. "Then, you should go.""How am I supposed to go when you're in this state? You're basically on death's door!" Jacob yelled. "W

The person that Spencer was longing for was currently sitting by a river.The river was clear and shallow enough to see the weeds beneath swaying with the water.Ariana held a stick in her hand and dragged it through the water. She held her phone up to her ear with her other hand. Her lips curled slightly as she spoke softly, "Jen, I'm seriously fine. You don't need to worry about me."On the other end of the call was Jensen.Jensen used the identities of two of the guards in the hospital to make a few phone numbers. He didn't have a fixed one to contact Ariana with. Regardless, he wouldn't leave anything that would give Spencer a hold over him."I really want to visit you.""Nah," Ariana said. "I'm doing pretty good here. I'm getting along well with the people here, too.""Ari, do you…" Jensen paused. "Do you miss him?"He didn't have to spell the name out for both of them to know who he was referring to.Ariana laughed. "You don't need to be so guarded. I'm over him. I'm jus

Jensen scoffed. "I don't care about your gift anyway."Ariana gently tapped the water with a twig, saying, "Well, I won't give you one, then.""You're just trying to annoy me!" Jensen huffed again. "Where else would you find such a great childhood friend if I stopped being yours?""Alright, now. I'll stop teasing you," Ariana said. "It's getting chilly in the evenings now that fall's here. Take care of yourself."Jensen was actually more concerned about her. He gave her a few more reminders before hanging up the phone. After the call, Ariana sat for a while longer, then set the twig aside.She stood up, grabbed the cushion from the rock, and started walking back. The small river was right next to a village of about 60 households. Most young adults were away, leaving mainly the elderly and children behind.This tiny village was far from town, making schooling a challenge for the kids. When Ariana arrived, a volunteer teacher was about to leave, so she stepped in to fill the role.

Five years later.Winter in Nordenton arrived early that year. It was only November, but a light snow had already fallen. It was not heavy, just enough to cover the ground with a thin white layer that felt soft underfoot."I heard there's going to be a heavy snowfall tonight. The highways will definitely be closed," Jensen said, glancing at the passenger seat. "Good thing you came back today."Ariana, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had been away from Nordenton for five years. The passage of time seemed to have left no trace on her. Not only did she not look older, but she appeared even more radiant. There was a new, captivating air of gentleness and serenity about her.She rested her chin on her hand, looking at the stores outside the car window. Five years was not a particularly long or short time, but the city had changed quite a bit. Some of the old, established stores were still in business, though. Ariana chuckled at Jensen's comment. "Sisi's engagement is such a

"Is this the gift you wanted to give me?" Jensen gritted his teeth. "You knew you were pregnant back then?"Ariana promptly placed the baby in his arms. "Well, do you like it or not? If not, just throw it away."As a doctor, Jensen had certainly held babies before. Yet, this was Ariana's child. The baby was so small and delicate that he was tense all over, holding the child without daring to move.Ariana watched him with a smile as Jensen took a deep breath, his body stiff, and looked down at the little one. At over three months old, the baby had long since outgrown its unattractive newborn appearance and had become chubby.Jensen swore he was not exaggerating—this little bundle of joy was the most beautiful baby he had ever seen."Everyone says the baby's eyes and mouth look like mine. What do you think?" Ariana asked.Jensen looked closely and indeed saw traces of Ariana's childhood features in the chubby face. Having grown up with Ariana, he remembered her childhood self very

Chapter 379

Before meeting with Sienna and Boa, Ariana said to Jensen, "If they try to hit me later, remember to hold them back."Jensen tilted his chin up. "I'm not getting involved!"Sienna and Boa were unaware of Ariana's return. Jensen had arranged to meet them, and they arrived first. As they chatted, the conversation inevitably turned to Ariana.Boa spoke of her with a mix of anger and resentment, "That heartless woman! It's been five years of radio silence!"Sienna sighed, "It's all because of Spencer!""Don't mention that jerk!" Boa snapped. "I turned on the TV yesterday, and damn it! I had the bad luck of seeing his face!"Sienna asked, "Was it that charity auction? I heard from a client at my boutique that Spencer donated quite a bit."Boa scoffed. "Guilty conscience, I bet. Throwing money around to ease his mind."Years had passed, but Sienna's and Boa's dislike for Spencer had not lessened one bit. Regardless of his past actions, they blamed him for Ariana's five-year absence.

Ariana did not know what else to say apart from apologizing. Meanwhile, Boa hit her back a few more times before finally breaking down and crying while holding her. This was different from when Boa had gone abroad.Back then, they had stayed in touch and knew how each other was doing. On the other hand, Ariana had just up and left, with only Jensen to relay a message. It had been over five years—nearly two thousand days—without a single word from her.Boa was truly angry with Ariana. If it had not been for Jensen's updates assuring them that Ariana was fine, Boa would have gone out of her mind with worry. Eventually, the three of them cried, fussed, and scolded for a good while before finally calming down.Sienna sniffled and looked at her two best friends. "You two look like raccoons with all that smeared makeup..."They looked at each other and burst into laughter. Then, Boa gave Ariana another playful shove and scolded her lightly, "What are you laughing at?"Finally, the four
