Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177 Departure

That morning, the scene in the company lobby spread like wildfire. By midday, the entire staff was abuzz with news: a young woman had arrived unexpectedly and had been escorted directly to the chairman’s office by the three general managers. Whispers and guesses about her identity circulated rapidly, each more speculative than the last.

When Lillian and her entourage appeared in the cafeteria at lunchtime, the atmosphere shifted instantly. Conversations hushed, and curious eyes followed their every move. The hum of excitement was palpable, as heads turned and whispers trailed behind them like a shadow.

The remainder of the afternoon passed in a whirlwind of activity. The team tackled a backlog of pending issues, but the main focus was on the three new strategic plans Lillian had introduced. With the impending relocation to the Kingston headquarters, every detail had to be meticulously planned and coordinated well in advance.

It wasn’t until Lillian’s phone rang that she realized how much time had slipped away. She glanced at the screen, a gentle smile softening her features before she answered.

On the other end, Sebastian’s voice resonated with its usual magnetic calm. “Lillian, my grandfather’s unwell. I have to head to Kingston.”

Her heart tightened involuntarily. “Do you want me to come with you?” she asked without hesitation.

“It’s nothing too serious. He’s just getting older—these things happen. The hospital staff can handle it.”

Despite his reassurance, a shadow of concern flickered across her eyes. “Where are you now?”

“On my way to the airport.”

“Wait for me there. I have something for you.” Before he could respond, she ended the call and turned to Karina. “Karina, take me to the airport. Now.”

Her urgency left no room for argument, and Karina immediately complied, following her without question.

He accepted the vial with a smile, fully aware of the potent effects of the remedies she crafted. Seeing her so proud and spirited brought back vivid memories of the first time she had saved him—when she had been just as fiery and alive. How could he not fall helplessly in love with her?

“I’ll treasure it,” he promised softly. “Stay safe in Solara.” Drawing her gently into his embrace, his warm breath brushed her ear as he whispered, “Lillian, don’t forget to miss me.”

With that, Sebastian departed for Kingston.

Unbeknownst to Lillian, as she stood there at the airport, reporters had already captured her image on camera. By evening, photos of her were circulating online, sparking waves of speculation and heated debate across social media.

Back at the company, Lillian threw herself into the demanding work that awaited her.

The launch of the new medicine, the establishment of Skyreach Group Jewelry, countless projects and critical decisions—her workload was relentless. Yet, despite the exhaustion that tugged at her every muscle, she found herself savoring each moment. In her previous life, she had never experienced the deep satisfaction of working tirelessly to build something with her own hands. Now, even amid the fatigue, she felt a profound sense of fulfillment and purpose.
