"What happened?" Cecilia asked as she continued to walk forward with Priscilla.

Perhaps because of her earlier interactions with Priscilla, Cecilia didn't find it strange.

Priscilla let out a sigh. "I don't want you to get upset by what I'm about to say. Miranda is trying to get at you by targeting Helen."

Cecilia halted, gazing at Priscilla.

"Then how come you're okay?"

Priscilla hesitated. "I swear, I never betrayed you. But during the year you were gone, I couldn't risk crossing Miranda. So, I did some things to keep her appeased." Previously, Priscilla had been indecisive, but now, she had completely aligned herself with Cecilia.

In a hushed tone, she added, "Do you remember the secret I once confided in you? Now that it's out, I'd never dare betray you."

Secret?

Cecilia felt that with her memory loss, there were too many things she couldn't remember.

On the surface, she didn't reveal any emotions, but there was a sense of loss within her.

"I was just asking. Nothing more."

"Then let's head to the conference room."

"All right."

Following Priscilla, Cecilia quickly arrived at the office where the parents' meeting was being held.

Most of the parents had already arrived, gathering together. And there, seated prominently in the middle of them all, was Miranda.

As she pushed the door open, Cecilia instantly recognized her, having already seen her photo the previous day.

Miranda stood up upon seeing Cecilia and said with a smile, "Ceci, you're here. This is our final semester. I thought you wouldn't attend the parents' meeting anymore."

"Something happened last year, but now that I'm back, certainly can't miss out on my child's growth," Cecilia also responded with a polite smile.

"True, take a seat." Miranda gestured for Cecilia to sit down.

She was puzzled. I thought there were a lot of things she couldn't remember since she came back. So why does she seem perfectly fine?

The parents' meeting wasn't particularly eventful. It mainly involved discussing the children's academic performance, plans for the future of the class, and addressing a few minor matters.

The teacher covered these topics first. After that, Miranda took over.

Despite her considerable personal influence, she managed things quite fairly this time.

Priscilla was somewhat incredulous. She had thought that Miranda would retaliate against Cecilia again.

The parents' meeting came to an end, and as everyone was preparing to leave, Miranda approached Cecilia. "Cecilia, there's another event at the school this afternoon where mothers and their children will participate together. You'll be there too, right?" Cecilia was unaware of any events taking place. However, upon hearing her mention it, she decided to stay.

Otherwise, Jonathan would be all alone.

"Of course."

Then you should join us in the decorations later."

Without giving it much thought, Cecilia readily agreed.

Upon leaving the conference room, Miranda began chatting quietly with the women around her.

Cecilia, on the other hand, made her way to the classroom to see Jonathan.

Jonathan was seated in a corner, his focus entirely on the computer screen in front of him, unsure of what to do next.

He heard a child calling out, "Mommy..."

Only then did he lift his head and realize that quite a few mothers, including his own, had come over.

Jonathan's eyes brightened. He immediately stood up, nearly knocking over his computer in the process, and ran toward Cecilia with his face flushed. "Mommy!"

He was unlike Elliot. He was shy and found it hard to show affection toward Cecilia. When he spoke, he sounded like an old soul.
