NovelEnglishChapter 478 Chapter 478 Just as Nyla and Valarie were about to leave after finishing dinner, they ran into Oliver again, who had just completed his business meeting.
"Ms. Jayston, Valarie, what a coincidence," Oliver greeted them warmly.
Valarie raised an eyebrow, a playful glint in her eyes. "It really is." Oliver turned to Nyla, his tone gentle. "Ms. Jayston, did you two have any drinks tonight? I can give you a ride hif you need." Nyla shook her head. "No. We didn't drink, and both of us drove here. But thanks for the offer, Mr. Raynor." A flicker of disappointment crossed Oliver's face, but he quickly recovered with a smile. "Alright then, maybe we can grab a meal together sometime." Valarie chimed in with a smile. “I doubt there'll be a chance for that. Nyla is leaving for Capitarnia in a few days." Oliver froze for a moment. "Ms. Jayston, why are you moving to Capitarnia?" His eyes filled with curiosity as he looked at Nyla.
"I'm planning to work there," Nyla replied.

Sensing her distant tone, Oliver looked a bit disheartened. He wasn't oblivious-he could tell Nyla wasn't interested in him.
His smile grew stiff. "Alright then, Ms. Jayston. Goodbye." Nyla nodded and walked toward the parking lot.
Valarie caught up to her and, noticing her stern expression, immediately pleaded, "Nyla, I'm sorry! I won't say stuff like that again, I promise!" Nyla stopped and looked at her. "Valarie, from what I've seen, Oliver seems like a nice guy with a good heart. Since I have no intention of getting involved with him, I don't think it's fair for him to know too much about my personal life. Otherwise, he'll be the one who ends up hurt." "I understand. I just thought that since he's an old classmate of mine and you don't have a boyfriend right now, it might be worth giving him a chance..." Valarie explained.
"He's a great person, but I'm not the right fit for him. Besides, I'm not looking for a new relationship right now. Please don't do this again,” Nyla said sternly.
Valarie quickly replied, "I understand! I swear, I won't meddle anymore. You know I can't stand it when you're mad at me." Nyla rolled her eyes. "If you really know that, then keep your mouth shut next time.” "Alright, alright! Whatever you say. I won't take matters into my own hands again," Valarie coaxed. Chapter 478 +25 BONUS Back home, Nyla continued packing for a while before heading to bed.
The next morning, she disposed of what she didn't need and mailed most of her books. She kept only a few outfits and sessential books for the short term.
Looking around the now-empty apartment, Nyla felt a pang of sadness.
The place felt devoid of life. If she hadn't been forced to leave, she wouldn't have done so so soon. After all, Saintornia had been her hfor over 2 years.
Once she confirmed that everything had been mailed, she bought a train ticket for the next morning. She morning-she hesitated momentarily, wondering whether she should visit Harrison in the hospital. Since their last tense encounter there, they hadn't spoken. She had no idea how his health had been in the meantime.

After sindecision, Nyla finally decided to go. This might be one of her last chances, as she probably wouldn't visit Saintornia often after moving to Capitarnia. With her mind made up, she grabbed her bag and drove to the hospital.
Nyla paused at the door to the hospital room, her hand on the doorknob.
Just as she was about to open it, she overheard Wren's voice from inside.
"Harrison, Nyla's behavior is really out of line. Does she really plan to cut ties with you? She hasn't ? She hasn't cto see you once this entire time. It's been Gabriel running around, taking care of everything every tyour health declines. "Sigh... I'll stop talking about it, or you'll say I'm being too much again. After all, I'm just a stepmother..."
