My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

CHAPTER 443

“Grandpa, I wanna go home.” 

“Alright, alright, we’ll go home tonight, and you won’t have to stay in the hospital anymore!” 

As the plane soared over the Pacific, Onion clutched the photo of the girl that had become blurry from being touched so often over the past six months. His heart pounded wildly in his chest from the intense longing and the rapidly closing distance. 

He missed his Xannie, missed her so much. 

Every moment of the past six months, he had thought of her. Finally, he could see her again, in a completely new way. 

This time, he would never be separated from her again. 

After Xanthea recovered from her illness, she quickly returned to her old self and remembered Samuel. However, it seemed that a part of her memory was completely sealed away. No matter how her family asked her who she was waiting for that day and why she had cried so much, she would shake her head in confusion, not understanding what they were talking about. 

To ensure she always had someone with her and to prevent another high fever and memory loss, the Nightshade family adopted a girl from the orphanage–Miranda Moore. Fearing that past traumas could resurface, they transferred her from Crestwood Primary School to Kingswood Academy. 

“Xan, Xan 

“Did you hear? There’s a new transfer student at school, the famous heir of the Lockwood Group–Orion Lockwood. He’s super wealthy. most importantly he’s super handsome!” 

A friend ran over, out of breath with gossip. Xanthea wasn’t too interested until she heard “super handsome, and her eyes lit up instantly 

“Really?” 

“Totally! He’s currently registering in the office. There’s a crowd of students is already there to watch. Let’s go see!” 

“Okay, Mirry, let’s go!” 

Xanthea grabbed Miranda’s hand, eager to see, but Matthew blocked their way. 

“Xan, don’t go!” 

“Why not?” 

He had just seen Orion at the office door too. His looks, demeanor, and even the way he spoke were all exceptional. Even a glimpse of his profile had attracted a group of admirers. If Xanthea saw him, she would definitely like him. 

Matthew liked Xan, and his parents had told him over and over to stay close to her and win her over 

It had taken him a long time and a lot of effort, and only through Miranda had he finally become her friend. He couldn’t let anyone easily take his place. 

“Didn’t you hear? He’s a little kid who killed his stepmother.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“What?” Xanthea’s amber eyes widened at the mention of killing. “Is that true?” 

“Of course it’s true! The rumor has been around for half a year, even your parents know about it. If you don’t believe me, ask them!” 

Afraid she wouldn’t believe him, Matthew clenched his fists and began to fabricate lies. 

“Plus, he’s good friends with Jeffrey. He transferred to Kingswood because of him. I saw them playing with snakes behind the school Just now.” 

Hearing about snakes, Xanthea’s face turned pale. 

She wasn’t afraid of much, but snakes, with their slithery bodies and patterns, terrified her. 

When she first transferred to Kingswood six months ago, a boy named Jeffrey kept following her around, insisting on being her friend She didn’t like him and ignored him, which led him to start intimidating her in various ways. It began with sticking notes on her giving her nicknames, and escalated to using garter snakes to frighten her, leaving her in tears. 

Jeffrey was a lunatic, and anyone who played with snakes alongside him must be a little lunatic too!
