Chapter 141
After leaving the hospital, Elysia went to find her friend Blossom. She had two things on her mind. First, she wanted to check on the kids at the preschool. It was their first day and she couldn’t help but worry.
Second, she was still shaken up by the whole ordeal with Sarah.
Blossom was both shocked and outraged when Elysia explained what had happened.
“That ungrateful snake! Winona was nothing but kind to Zane’s cousin, and to think she’d wish death upon her behind her back. And to top it off, she’s got it out for you, too. Seriously, some people just don’t appreciate a good thing when they have it. There’s a saying that fits perfectly here: ‘No good deed goes unpunished.‘ I mean, sure, it’s sad she lost her child, but considering how she treated Winona, I hate to say it, but she had it coming!”
Elysia sighed, “What a peculiar person.”
“Peculiar? That’s putting it mildly. She’s heartless, that’s what she is.”
“Blossom, did Winona really go off to shoot a movie?” Elysia asked, furrowing her brows with concern.
Even though Zane had explained everything, she still couldn’t shake her unease.
“Yeah, she talked to me about it before she left. And Zane’s right, Winona’s a celebrity. If anything had actually happened to her, we’d have heard about it by now. It’s impossible to keep that kind of thing under wraps.”
Blossom’s certainty finally put Elysia’s mind at ease.
Still, Blossom couldn’t help but complain, “And Zane, dragging you into comforting Sarah when he knows you two aren’t close. He’s just adding to your stress.”
“Let’s not talk about them anymore. How are the kids doing?”
“They’re in their classroom. Look, they’re having a blast.”
Blossom pulled up the classroom’s live feed for Elysia to see.
Elysia watched the three little ones playing joyfully and felt a smile spread across her face, “Kids really do have the most fun with other kids.”
Blossom agreed, “At their age, preschool is the right move. They might not learn much in the way of book smarts, but it’s good for their development.”
“Yeah.”
Seeing that they were alone in the office, Elysia asked in a low voice, “The kids still don’t have their paperwork sorted. Can they still attend?”
“Sure, private preschools are much more flexible with their requirements.”
Elysia breathed a sigh of relief, “As long as they can attend, that’s what matters.”
“Hey, don’t worry about your boys and school. I’ve got your back! If you want, they can come with me
ay.”
“It’s great having a best friend who’s a preschool teacher,” Elysia said with a laugh.
Blossom made a face, “Proud of yourself, aren’t you? My parents are beside themselves. Both of them prominent intellectuals, they’d hoped for a postdoc, but got a preschool teacher instead.”
Elysia chuckled. This was the ongoing joke in Blossom’s family.
Two academic heavyweights had produced a daughter who was anything but. Blossom’s admission to Jindale University had been a special case; her grades alone wouldn’t have cut it. The fact that she passed her teaching certification was a surprise to everyone. But Elysia genuinely admired Blossom’s parents for their parenting success. She believed that a child’s worth wasn’t determined by a diploma. Values, personality, and nature were what truly mattered.
Blossom was free–spirited, endearing, and resilient. Never once did she look down on others because of her parents‘ status, nor did she feel inferior because of her academic struggles. She had strong moral principles, a kind heart, and clear-cut likes and dislikes. She didn’t waste time wallowing in self– pity. She was simply herself, living a simple and happy life.

Elysia thought to herself, only after having children do you understand what it’s like to be a parent. The best thing isn’t how accomplished they are, but that they’re healthy and have good natures.
