Chapter 648

"Tomorrow you'll find out," Sylvia said, her lips curled. "I'll be at the medical school at nine o'clock

sharp."

"Ms. Jefferson, she's got such a presence!" A girl leaned in to Haylie and admired Sylvia's graceful

figure from behind. "She's so young but has so much knowledge in her field."

"When we watched the movie, she showed off her expertise and I could tell she was a real pro. There

were some difficult points that I didn't even understand." Haylie became more curious about Sylvia.

When did Urgford's medical circle produce such a talented young woman? Why hadn't there been any

news about it? And that handsome young man looked familiar.

After leaving the cinema, it was already past nine in the evening.

"What do you want to eat?" Franklin asked with his deep voice that sounded particularly pleasant in the

night breeze.

Sylvia felt a flutter. "Let's just grab something and head back."

"Hmm, how about some hot sake or grilled meat?" Just as Franklin spoke, a gust of cold wind blew

through carrying light snowflakes from above.

The snowflakes fell like small pebbles onto Sylvia's open palm where they instantly melted into water.

"Let's go then; drinking hot sake is not bad on such cold nights." Sylvia nodded before getting into their

car.

"It gets really cold up north during winter and there is usually more snow." Jasper started driving while

reminiscing his childhood memories. "I used to love snuggling up with my dad during winter, playing

with my friends outside making snowmen or having snowball fights. But after moving to Larro, I don't

see much of it anymore."

"So why don't you go back home to visit your family at Urgford?" Sitting lazily on the back seat with cool

almond-shaped eyes gazing out at falling flakes outside, Sylvia asked Jasper who was driving.

Jasper froze for a moment upon hearing this question, but eventually replied, "I'm not going back."

"It will soon be Christmas followed by New Year, " said Sylvia as she curled her lips slightly. "Your

mother must miss you quite badly."

Jasper remained silent; he couldn't help but think of Evie's pretty face when he heard about Christmas

approaching.

Franklin only realized now that indeed Christmas was coming soon upon hearing their conversation.

A glint appeared briefly within Jasper's eyes as he thought deeply about something while Evie sneezed

aboard an airplane. She wondered if she had caught a cold even before arriving Urgford?

After getting off the plane, Evie grabbed her luggage and walked out of the terminal with the crowd,

arriving at the airport entrance. She hailed a taxi and gave Sylvia's address to the driver. As she

watched the passing scenery outside, she felt a little sleepy.

When Jasper, Franklin, and Sylvia returned to MI6 after dinner, they saw a taxi parked in front of them

with Evie stepping out of it. The old driver was about to help her with her luggage when Evie lifted it

herself and grinned at him, saying, "I got this."

Jasper was taken aback by Evie's sudden appearance.

How did she get here?

Sylvia got out of the car and walked over to Evie, saying, "The flight was on time. Let's go."

Evie greeted Sylvia, cheerfully saying, "Long time no see."

But Sylvia raised an eyebrow, replying, "It hasn't been that long."

As Jasper drove into MI6, he pressed down on his racing heart, trying to calm himself before entering

into the lobby where he saw Evie unpacking gifts from her luggage.

One beautifully wrapped box after another came out from her suitcase as she distributed them among

everyone present including Master Franklin who received one too.novelbin

Evie scanned around looking for Brayden and Jenna but couldn't find them until Sylvia informed her

that they were staying in a hotel nearby.

Sylvia asked when Evie would be returning back for training as winter sports were just around the

corner, but Evie sighed heavily and complained how much trouble it was. "It's really tiring. I want to

retire!"

Sylvia lazily replied, "Go ahead then. It's not like you have nowhere to go after retirement. But I'm not

sure if your coach will let you retire easily."

Jasper held his gift given by Evie tightly, feeling its weight, even though it seemed light as feather.

While opening it up, he found a small clay figurine inside which looked exactly like him including his

clothes! It depicted him digging mud during disaster relief work!

Jasper didn't know whether he should laugh or cry, seeing such an accurate representation of himself

in clay form!

He saw that Franklin had also opened his own box, and it seemed to contain a clay figurine too.
