Charlie hurried to Aurous Hill University, moving as quickly as he could.


    This time, rather than driving directly onto campus, he chose to park in a nearby lot and then walked to the university.


    He vividly recalled thest time the ring had reacted while he was leaving Aurous Hill University.


    With that memory in mind, Charlie slipped the ring onto his finger and strolled leisurely toward the Academic Affairs Building of Aurous Hill University.


    As he walked, he was acutely aware of the ring’s movements with each step he took.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    However, to his dismay, the ring remainedpletely unresponsive.


    Charlie thought to himself, “Thest time it reacted was when I was leaving. Could it be that it still recognizes direction?”


    With this thought, he turned around and retraced his steps back the way he hade.


    But even after exiting the school gates, the ring still didn’t respond.


    Feeling a bit frustrated, Charlie pondered, “Didn’t you react herest time? Why are you silent now? Are you asleep or just not feeling it? If this continues, I might take you to Yipin’s underground garage to see if you wake up!”


    With no response from the ring, he reluctantly headed back to the parking lot, intending to get in his car and leave, nning to try his luck at the underground parking of Tomson Yipin high-rise.<fnd3a3> Content originallyes from Find~Novel</fnd3a3>


    Just as he was pulling out of the parking lot, his phone suddenly rang. Surprised, he saw that it was X, Dr. Simmons’s granddaughter, calling.


    Charlie hadn’t seen X or her grandfather in quite a while. He knew that Dr. Simmons had opened a medical clinic in Aurous Hill where he and X worked diligently to help themunity. However, with everything going on recently, he hadn’t had the chance to visit them.


    Furthermore, X and her grandfather rarely contacted him, likely due to their busy schedule at the clinic. They probably didn’t want to disturb him, so he assumed they were okay.


    Thus, when X called out of the blue, Charlie’s first thought was that something might be wrong with her or Dr. Simmons.


    He quickly answered, saying, “X, it’s been a few days since you called me.”


    X’s voice was sad as she replied, “Master Wade… I’m calling to say goodbye…”


    “Goodbye?” Charlie frowned, concerned. “What’s going on? Did something happen with you and the doctor?”


    X exined, “Grandpa is nning to close the clinic and return to Eastcliff…”


    “Back to Eastcliff?” Charlie asked instinctively. “But I remember Dr. Simmons saying he would settle in Aurous Hill permanently; he’s only been here for a year. Why the sudden change?”


    X hesitated before saying, “Well… it’s his decision, and I can’t intervene… He’s already taken down the clinic’s sign. He’s set to leave tomorrow and didn’t intend to tell you because he felt ashamed to say goodbye. He was going to call you to apologize after he left… But…”


    Suddenly, X’s voice broke, and she began sobbing. “But I can’t bear to see him go… I can’t bear leaving Aurous Hill or saying goodbye to you, Master Wade… So I called to ask if you could persuade Grandpa to stay…”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
