Jayden had always been punctual. He would never make Silvia wait for a long time.
As soon as Silvia snuck out of the lecture hall, Jayden's phone call came in. "Are you out yet?"
Silvia said happily, "Yeah, I'm walking down the stairs now. Just give me five more minutes, Young Master Kyle."
Jayden said, "Okay."
All classes were still ongoing, so all lecturers and students were in the classrooms. As Silvia walked out of the academic building, there was no one around her at all, making it very obvious that she was sneaking out of class.
However, Silvia had often skipped classes, so she did not feel weird. She hopped happily to the campus entrance while humming to her favorite song.
"Looking forward to your return, my baby."
"Looking forward to your embrace, my baby."
Silvia was tone- deaf. Her singing was so terrible that Reagan would always tease her by saying that their ears would bleed whenever Silvia sang. On top of that, she had no self-awareness at all. Whenever she was at the karaoke, she would always hog the microphone. She was so annoying that no one could actually stand her, except for Reagan and Lemur.
"Silvia..."
While she was humming, Silvia suddenly heard a familiar voice. She spun around in the direction of the voice. However, she did not see anyone.
"Felix?" Silvia looked around again, but still, she did not see anyone. She could not help but laugh at herself. "I've probably gone insane. I'm even hallucinating and thinking that Felix's calling for me?"
Perhaps she was imagining voices because of the rumor about Felix that she had heard earlier that day. Probably, Silvia had been thinking about it too much that she was starting to imagine things.
"Silvia..."
Just when she took another step, the familiar voice sounded once again. She looked in the direction of the voice, and this time, she saw a handsome young man.
He was standing under a tree not too far away from her, dressed in a white casual outfit that she was familiar with. The sunshine fell on him, making him look as warm as rays of sunlight in cold winter.
"Fe... Felix?" Silvia muttered. Was the man standing under the tree really Felix? Was it really him? Did he really come back alive?
But why did everything feel so surreal? It felt like it was just a dream. It was as if all of these would disappear without a trace once she woke up from her sleep.
"Silvia..." He smiled as he reached out his hand to her. Just like in the past, whenever she was sad, and when she was helpless... he would always smile at her and reach out his large and warm hands to her. He would hold her hand and tell her, "Silvia, don't be afraid. I'm here!"
"Felix!" Without a second thought, Silvia ran towards him. She did not care if this man in front of her was real or just her imagination. At that instant, she only wanted to hug him and let him know that she had been worrying about him for so long.
However, when she was about to get close to him, her 'Felix' turned around and ran away. He was so fast that Silvia could not keep up with him at all.
"Felix, don't run away. Wait for me!" Silvia shouted and chased after him. However, he had disappeared from her sight, vanishing into thin air just like that.
Could it be just an illusion?
