Out The Secrets In Her

“Of course, Maren,” Stormclaw agreed without hesitation.

Before leaving, he turned to Isla and promised, “When I finishes my work, Isla, I’ll take you somewhere fun.”

“Don’t forget my candy!” Isla said happily.

When Maren couldn’t be there herself, she never failed to make sure Stormclaw was by Isla’s side to look after her.

“Promise.” Stormclaw affectionately patted Isla’s head before leaving.

Over the next few days, with Maren keeping a close eye on her, Isla’s recovery picked up speed. Her steps grew steadier, her energy lifted, and a healthy glow returned to her cheeks.

Pleased by Isla’s steady progress, Maren frequently took her around Baimsa, cherishing every moment together. Together, they explored the zoo and the aquarium, sampled all kinds of delicious treats, and bought new clothes.

Each passing day brought happiness, and Isla gradually forgot her past torment.

“Today was so much fun! Everything feels perfect with you!” Isla exclaimed, playfully swinging Maren’s arm as they walked.

Handing Isla a freshly bought ice cream, Maren smiled warmly. “Anywhere else you’d like to go?”

“I want to visit the amusement park,” Isla replied enthusiastically, savoring her treat.

“Amusement park?”

Maren was a bit surprised. For a long time, she had wanted to bring Isla there but hesitated due to Isla’s fragile condition and the physically demanding rides.

Knowing Isla, she’d likely beg for the more thrilling experiences despite her health.

“I promise I’ll stick to gentle rides. Like the Ferris wheel or the carousel,” Isla quickly said.

Maren’s eyebrows lifted slightly in surprise. “You figured out exactly what I was thinking?”

“I’ve grown smarter, Maren!” Isla giggled playfully and strode to the amusement park entrance confidently.

Glancing over her shoulder, she cheerfully beckoned Maren to follow her.

A mix of happiness and nostalgia stirred within Maren as she watched Isla walk ahead. She’d truly grown in these past few years.

Chapter 156 Want To Find Out The Secrets In Her

“Hey Isla, would you like to go to school?” Maren asked, once she caught up to Isla.

She vividly remembered Isla’s longing gaze whenever she saw kids attending school–an opportunity neither

had due to the darkness surrounding their lives. But perhaps now things could change.

Isla froze mid–step, eyes wide in disbelief. “Wait, Maren, you mean it?”

“I do,” Maren said, nodding.

A girl like Isla belonged somewhere brighter and safer, not trapped in shadows.

“Wow, really? This is the best news ever!” Isla exclaimed, excitedly bouncing on her toes.

“So, when can I actually go?” Isla asked, eagerly grabbing Maren’s hand.

“Give me a couple of days. I’ll find a school for you,” Maren said, her smile warm and reassuring.

“Thanks, Maren! You’re amazing! You’re the absolute best!” Isla cheered, leaning up to plant a quick,

affectionate kiss on Maren’s cheek.

“Let’s get moving. If we’re too slow, the amusement park will close,” Maren teased affectionately, gently messing Isla’s hair.

“Okay!” Isla giggled, quickly falling back into step beside Maren as they headed towards the amusement park.

“Maren!”

They had only just started down the path when someone suddenly appeared in front of them, calling out to

Maren.

There was no mistaking that voice–it was Wilbur. And right beside him stood Nadia. They’d just returned from their trip to the Borba Bay.

“When did you get back? I was worried sick after you disappeared!” Wilbur had realized Maren was gone back

when they were still aboard the ferry.

Seeing Maren alive and perfectly fine made Nadia freeze, completely different from her relaxed mood just

moments earlier.

What was going on?

Hadn’t her hired killer succeeded in eliminating Maren permanently?

After Maren had vanished earlier, Nadia had figured everything had gone smoothly and spent her time having

fun at the Borba Bay without giving it another thought.

Yet now, unbelievably, Maren stood in front of her. She looked completely unharmed–like nothing had touched

her.

“What does my return have to do with you?” Maren cherished this rare moment of peace with Isla and didn’t

want anything to spoil it.

Nadia had no idea the assassin she had hired hadn’t even managed to get a glimpse of Maren.

Wilbur, maintaining a forced cheerfulness, attempted a polite smile.
