"Since you're visiting, letbe the one to treat you," Yolanda offered.

"How could I let you do that? You saved my life last time, and | haven't properly thanked you yet," Simon replied.

Although he had given a painting to Harold as a token of appreciation, he still felt that it was insufficient. To

outsiders, his paintings were priceless. But for him, it was merely a matter of lifting his brush. Giving his painting

as a gift of gratitude wasn't sincere enough in his opinion.

"That was nothing. Don't worry about it." Yolanda waved her hand dismissively. "I know a good Candonean

restaurant nearby. Do you like Candonean cuisine?"

"Oh, yes. Sure!" Simon responded agreeably.

When faced with Yolanda, who had saved his life, Simon didn't put on airs as an elder. Since Yolanda asked him

not to mind the issue with his gift, he didn't press further.

"Let's head there now," Yolanda said.

She called Sharon, who was still wandering around the snack street on campus. She had no interest in dining

with Simon, so she told Yolanda to go ahead without her.

Roughly 20 minutes later, Yolanda, Gavin, and Simon were seated in a private room at the nearby Candonean

restaurant.

"Ms. Henderson, | have a question," Simon began cautiously, sipping his drink. "Your drawing style and the way

you sign your artwork are identical to Ms. Harrington's. Could it be that..."

Simon was very curious about Yolanda's relationship with Jess. He had always thought that Jess must have been

someone around his own age, or perhaps even older. Given Yolanda's youth, it seemed more likely that she was

Jess’ relative.

"She is my mentor," Yolanda replied.

There were a few people who knew that she was Jess. However, revealing her true identity to Simon wasn't an

option. Saying that Jess was her mentor was the most reasonable explanation.

"Just as | thought! Ms. Harrington is very fortunate to have a student like you!" Simon nodded and smiled as if he

had long figured it out.

He had initially guessed that Yolanda was likely closer in age to Jess' grandchildren. Now, it seemed he was right.

"In that case, | have a presumptuous request, Ms. Henderson. Could you arrange forto meet your mentor?"

Simon had always admired Jess and had long wanted to find an opportunity to meet her. However, Jess was far

too low-key and elusive. She never participated in any domestic exchange events, so it had been impossible for

Simon to get in touch with her.

Now that he found out that Yolanda was Jess' student, he hoped that she could introduce him to her.

"I'm afraid that won't be possible." Yolanda couldn't reveal that Jess was sitting right in front of him, so she shook

her head and politely declined.

"My mentor has gone on a voyage. To seek inspiration, she usually goes to remote nature reserves. Even | have

difficulty reaching her," Yolanda explained.

"I see..." Simon looked visibly disappointed. Then, he asked, "When do you think she'll be back?"

"It's hard to say." Yolanda thought for a moment and then added, "She'll likely be back in two or three years if

she finds something that inspires her. But if not, she might be gone for five or six years."

"Five or six years?" Simon had something to say. But when it reached the tip of his tongue, he held back and

remarked, "Ms. Harrington must be in excellent health!"
