Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2845

A disdainful smirk tugged at Finnegan's lips, though he was secretly pleased.

At noon, Valerie finally woke up. When she did not see Andrew, panic hit her instantly.

She spotted the note he left on the nightstand.

[Valerie, I left. Once you're back in Chetvine, live well and take good care of Luna. I love you both so, so much. Wait for my return.]

Her eyes turned red, and even though she tried to be strong, the pain of separation still crushed her. She quickly got dressed and stumbled downstairs.

The moment she reached the bottom step, she saw that everyone in her family had already gathered.

Finnegan stood there with a downright sour expression.

Valerie could not care about anything else and rushed over, her voice trembling as she murmured, "Dad, Andrew left."

Finnegan snorted. "You still have the nerve to call me 'Dad'? Did the two of you just elope?"

Tears welled up in Valerie's eyes as she said, "He left without saying goodbye and went overseas alone. I don't even know when I'll see him again. Dad, I really liked him, and it hurts so much right now."

Finnegan was furious and looked ready to lecture her. However, the moment he saw her break down crying, he lost his resolve. "You foolish girl… You could've liked anyone, but you had to fall for that reckless brat of all people. His mess and enemies in Holtrien are endless, so why would you put yourself through this?"

Valerie ignored everything and just cried her heart out.
