The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 581 She Is Single Now

Harborbrook Fifth High School had a long history. If traced back, it started as a girls‘ school during the mid–twentieth century.

Over time, it underwent many changes and was eventually managed by the government and renamed Harborbrook Fifth High School.

It had a history spanning over a hundred years.

Daphne had already called her about this matter last month, emphasizing that the one–hundred–and- thirtieth anniversary of the school’s founding was a significant event.

Their ex–class representative called everyone early on to notify them, urging all who could come back to make an effort.

After all, most of the teachers who had taught them were nearing retirement, and this might be the last major event they could participate in together.

Lysander attended the school for six years, three in middle school and three in high school, and had fond memories of every part of it.

When she arrived, Daphne had already been waiting at the school gate for a while.

Upon meeting. Daphne complained, “Not having a car is so inconvenient. It takes me just ten minutes to drive here from home, but today, it took nearly an hour by bus!”

Lysander asked, “Why didn’t you take a taxi?”

Daphne chuckled, “I’m trying to save money. The money Ms. Lionhart gave me has to be spent wisely. I can’t betray her trust! By the way, did the class representative tell you that you’re supposed to give a speech as an outstanding alumna?”

“Not only did the class representative tell me, but Mr. Calderon also sent me a message.”

Feeling proud, Daphne put her arm around Lysander’s shoulders. “Who could blame them? Back then, Mr. Owen liked you the most. He always said you were a good candidate for Harfush University or Apex University. Who knew that incident would happen? It’s my fault. I dragged you down. Otherwise, you would have gone to Apex University.”

“You can’t really put it that way. Sometimes, it’s just like they say, life’s full of unexpected turns. Remember when you were so distraught, one moment wanting to jump off a building, the next off into the sea? I had to keep a close eye on you. I couldn’t just stand by and let you harm yourself, could I?*

Daphne whimpered, “Lysander, I’ve always felt guilty about it over the years. In some way, it was because of me that you…

“It’s been over ten years. Talking about it now is pointless. Besides, I like studying medicine. Even if I had gotten into Apex University, I would have probably gone to medical school, and I’d still end up as a doctor. Different paths lead to the samé destination.”

Hearing this, Daphne felt a bit better.

They strolled leisurely along the campus paths.
