Sunlight was gently shining through, and Morris walked out of the bathroom, who was wrapped in a robe.
Seeing the person in bed awake, he smiled gently, and then walked over, kissing her forehead.
He softly asked, “Why not sleep a little longer?”
“When did you get back? I don’t remember at all. Didn’t you say you’d be back in a couple of days?” Cherise asked, feeling a bit puzzled.
Morris brushed aside her messy bangs. “I got back last night once everything was taken care of
“Last night, you had a few cocktails at Ebb & Flow, which is probably why you don’t remember much, he replied.
Hearing what Morris said, Cherise finally remembered. “Nothing happened last night, right? I was in good control,” she said. looking a bit awkward.
Morris nodded with a smile. “Yep, nothing happened. You were really good this time, so there was nothing, he replied. Hearing this, Cherise let out a sigh of relief, saying, “Oh, that’s good!”
With the holidays over, Cherise was back at Betrico University for classes. After the break, everyone missed Cherise. Before class even started, her desk was already piled high with gifts.
There were eggs, bacon, ham, fruits, and vegetables, which were all sorts of local specialties from all over Clusia and the testament to the affection of the students for Cherise, and Cherise accepted each gift without hesitation.
When the bell rang, Cherise picked up her stack of teaching materials and entered the classroom. She stood at the podium. Just before beginning the lesson, the dean came to the door and knocked.
Cherise and the students looked over, who didn’t know what happened.
“Director, what’s going on?” Cherise asked.
The dean looked at her with admiration and respect, knowing she was not only a distinguished guest professor but also the lady of the Chivers Group.
The dean nodded at her. “Cherise, I’m really sorry for the interruption, but we have a new transfer student in our Traditional Medicine Department. The principal asked me to bring her over now,” he explained
“A transfer student? The principal didn’t tell me.” Cherise asked.
“Yes, we only got the notice this morning. It was a last–minute notification,” the dean replied, glancing outside.
The thirty students below began whispering immediately. “Who could it be, transferring here so suddenly”
“Yeah, this is Betrico University, the best institution in Clusia. This isn’t some high school or regular college. This new student must be someone significant.”
The unity and camaraderie in the Traditional Medicine Department were quite good. Overall, everyone was looking forward to this transfer student.

Cherise still stayed calm. Director, let’s have her come in,” she said,
Hearing this
the dean nodded quickly, “Oh, okay.”
He then gestured towards the doorway, “Come on, student, come over here.”
A few seconds later, a girl with a ponytail walked in, beaming, and smiled at Cherise.
“It’s you,” Cherise said.
The new student nodded at Cherise and then turned to the class. Hi everyone, I’m Jean, and I’ll be learning traditional medicine with all of you from now on.
“My knowledge might still be a bit lacking, so please guide me!” she introduced herself.
When this introduction was given, everyone except for Zander started guessing who this person might be.
Instead, Zander recognized at first glance that she was the niece of Arthur, Morris’s cousin, which also made her a relative of Cherise.
“Alright, go sit in class first. If there’s anything else, let’s talk about it after class. Don’t waste everyone else’s time.” Cherise said, with calm expression.
After Cherise spoke, the other students didn’t say anything more
Jean seemed quite happy, quickly finding a place to sit and listen to the lecture.

His blond hair was gone and replaced by silvery white hair,
“Grandpa, how did your hair turn completely white in just a few days? Are you alright?” Jason asked.

Jason nodded, and he finally understood why the person in front of him had changed so much. It was due to excessive worrying.
“She is your sister, your own cousin, the girl your grandmother mised herself. She carries the bloodline of me and Megan!” Rayburn said, his emotions becoming a bit stirred up,
Jason nodded after hearing this. “I understand your feelings, but what’s done is done. Cherise isn’t someone who’s unreasonable, and she has a clearer view of life than anyone else he replied.
“That’s true, but she called me Grandpa. You have no idea how happy it made me feel when she did. However, the a happiness it brought, the more heartache it also caused.

“So I want to make it up to her, but I don’t know how, Compared to what your grandma went through, any troubles are nothing. Rayburn remarked, running a hand through his hair.
