Chapter 479 - 480: Always Far Away
William Griffith stood across the street, smoking a cigarette as he quietly watched her. He saw her go into the convenience store, pick up a sandwich and milk, and then sit on a bench to slowly eat her meal. She was always a quiet person and didn’t talk much. Later on, he discovered that she spoke even less than he did.
When he finished his cigarette, William saw her stand up. He quickly took cover, not wanting her to spot him.
Cherish Turner threw the wrapper into the trash bin and then headed towards a building.
William gazed as she slowly entered the building. He looked up and saw the billboard for the IELTS training center. With a furrowed brow, he crossed the road and entered the academic building as well.
In the blink of an eye, he lost track of where she had gone.
William stood in the hallway on the third floor, feeling completely lost. He suddenly felt anxious, as if he’d lost something.
Suddenly, he heard a woman’s voice and faintly recognized the name "Cherish Turner."
William walked a few steps towards the voice and saw an older woman, in her fifties, talking to Cherish, who had her back turned to him. Vaguely, he heard the woman say, "There’s no piano class today, what brings you here?"
"Teacher, there’s a piano performance today, so I came to watch it."
