Soon, they arrived in Jangasas.
Lina felt emotional seeing the place where she grew up and the familiar scenery she knew so well—the alleys,
streets, cafes, and playgrounds.
Even the Jenners’ old house in the alley brought back memories: the smoke in the alley, her mom’s delicious food,
and the explosive friendship between Mary and Melissa. It felt like a lifetime had passed since those days.
Abigail exited the car with Lina, who was now in ‘full armor’. They held hands and walked along the road adorned
with roses.
Lina chuckled. “If we keep going straight, we’ll reach my university.”
“Do you like your school?” Abigail asked.

send me there for a better education. But it’s filled with wealthy kids, and I don’t really fit into their world, so…”
“So you didn’t have many friends?” Abigail patted her arm. “I know that feeling of loneliness. I experienced
something similar when I first entered the entertainment industry.”
Lina was taken aback. She couldn’t deny that she had friends.
Back then, she had Gia by her side. They used to walk hand in hand on the streets, wearing white dresses. When
the wind blew, pollen would land on their dresses, and they would smile as sweet as ice cream.
However, as time passed, they went their separate ways.
Lina sighed, feeling the subtle pain in her waist growing worse.
“Look, Lina!” Abigail handed her phone to her.
Carla had already gone to the aesthetic clinic, which was located in a secluded area and was known for its skilled
doctor, attracting many celebrities.
“I asked Carla to take some pictures for me,” Abigail pointed to the screen, zooming in on the picture. “That’s the
clinic’s door.”
Lina was stunned. Wasn’t this the same clinic Gia had taken her to remove her birthmark and add her tear mole?
“Lina?” Abigail noticed her distress. “Are you feeling alright?”
“I’m fine,” Lina said with a hint of grimness in her eyes. “Let’s go there now!”
“What?” Abigail was puzzled.
Lina bit her lip, feeling the pain in her waist once more.
“There’s something I need to ask the doctor about!” she said firmly.

When they arrived at the clinic, Carla was already speaking to the cosmetic doctor.
Lina signaled Abigail and quickly arranged for a private room next to the doctor’s office, where they could observe
what was happening inside clearly.
The doctor was aware of this trick and understood that the visitors were likely celebrities who didn’t want to be
seen. Thus, she prepared a small room to attend to them discreetly after Carla left, avoiding encounters with other
clients.
Lina and Abigail smoothly entered the small room.
At the same time, Zuko and Jacob arrived. The four of them held their breaths, focused on the room, and listened
to what the cosmetic doctor was saying.
“Look at my face, doctor… Do I need facial contouring surgery?” Carla asked.
