Chapter 120: A One-of-a-Kind Gift (5)

Isabel Smith looked at Elijah Smith as if they were separated by a lifetime.

Her heart suddenly began to race, and she couldn't help but clasp the hem of her skirt, straining to maintain a calm expression. She struggled to call out a cheerful smile and spoke to Elijah, her voice trembling slightly, "Eli..."

Isabel could only utter one syllable before her voice faltered. She pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and finally called out the name she had been trying to say, "Elijah."

Elijah Smith stood calmly in front of Isabel, not even bothering to remove his sunglasses or show any hint of emotion in the lower half of his face. It was as if Isabel's words hadn't reached him, and he remained silent and unmoved.

Just like that, the name Isabel had called out fell into the void, unanswered.

Isabel's parents had died on their way to pick Marion Hancock up from Starhaven University.
