Chapter 130 Lana’s Troubles
Liam sat beneath the large tree outside the school, the warm breeze rustling its green leaves overhead. The sun filtered through the branches, casting dappled shadows across his sharp features and broad shoulders. His duffle bag lay beside him, stuffed with everything he’d packed from his locker—school was over, truly over.
There was no going back now.
His gaze lingered on the school building, watching the students trickle out in groups—some laughing, others crying, taking photos, hugging their friends. But none of them mattered to him right now.
He was waiting for one person.
And five minutes later, there she was.
Ann stepped out of the school doors, her long dark hair flowing softly behind her as she walked. She looked as stunning as ever—her presence like a siren among mortals—but something was off. Her usual confident expression was replaced with a troubled frown. Her eyes darted around as if lost in thought, and she looked like she was carrying a weight no one else could see.
Liam’s expression instantly shifted.
He rose to his feet and approached her, cutting through the crowd with ease. "Ann," he said, his tone low and concerned. "What’s going on? You look... off."
She stopped walking, biting her bottom lip as she looked at him. "Liam..." she started, then sighed and looked away. "I’m gonna be gone for a while."
His brows furrowed. "Gone? What do you mean gone? Where are you going?"
"Family matters," she said simply, her voice quieter now. "It’s complicated."
