Chapter 1016

Orlando University was quick. In a short time, her profile was quickly collected.

In this way, she was considered pre-admitted.

At this point, there was no chance of turning back.

The Department of Chemistry at Orlando University, with an integrated bachelor’s and master’s program, would be her focus for the coming years.

The mood all around her was influenced by her decision.

She could feel the happiness of the Collinses, and the concern from Aunt Evelyn and her spouse.

But she herself was like a stagnant pool, without a ripple.

She sat alone in the gazebo on the rocking chair, looking at the message she sent to Alexander Foster yesterday.

[Capitol University or Orlando University, I want your opinion.]

[Alex: Choose what you desire, don’t worry about anyone, think carefully.]

At that time, after reading the message, she called the teacher who had been urging her for a decision and said "Orlando University".

By tonight, everything was settled for the most part.

Once the profile was collected, it meant giving up the opportunities offered by other universities.

Once she formally clicks confirm upon receiving the pre-admission confirmation email from Orlando University, and signs the contract, it will be done.

The medical staff called her later, chatting with her for over an hour.

They were mainly discussing the plans for the future.

There was joy in his voice, she could hear it.

Because of this, she had insomnia that night. There was no sense of relief from settling things. Instead, she felt as if her chest was being pressed by an invisible great stone, making it hard for her to breathe.

Afterward, Chloe Collins refused all social activities and had been holed up at home for a week.

Ironically, this week was probably the most she had ever slept in her life.

She would crawl into bed at ten in the evening, read comics until she fell asleep.

She would wake up after nine in the morning, weed the flowerbeds in the courtyard, then have lunch, and then sleep from one in the afternoon till late evening.

When she woke up, she continued reading, sometimes, she would even forget to have dinner.

The seventh day, in the afternoon, at five past five.

The golden light shone through the sparse trees into the room, casting a mottled and granular light on the bed.

The glaring light made Chloe Collins’ eyes itch. She slowly opened her eyelids while frowning and turned her head subconsciously to avoid the gentle twilight.

She put her hand over her eyes, shutting them for a moment before getting up.

The curtains were blown to one side by the wind. Outside on the balcony, dozens of meters away in the artificial lake, the twilight was splendid and the golden surface of the water was dazzling. The evening breeze was light, the willows sweeping gently over the water, spreading golden ripples.

Everything was quiet around her. Quiet enough to make her feel like she was the only one left in this world.

A bitter, icy feeling seeped slowly into her flesh, her marrow. It was as if a massive stone was bound to her heart, constantly dropping, sinking.

Lonely.

Suddenly, she deeply understood the meaning of this word.

She suddenly recalled a butler robot in a foreign film, and also a companion robot, even a nanny-type robot.

She remembered movies about robots ruling the world.

As she thought about this, her mind slowly cleared and the fog lifted, a bright path appeared before her eyes.

She turned to the glow of the sunset, slowly displaying the first heartfelt smile she’d had in over a week.

-

The day of the College Entrance Exam.

Evelyn Thompson woke up earlier than the exam candidate herself, personally prepared breakfast, confirmed all the details, and then went to wake Robert Foster.

She thought Robert Foster would be still in bed, unexpectedly when she opened the door, she saw he was already dressed up.
