Chapter 203

Both of the gifts were wrapped.

It was clear that they had been carefully prepared.

They were wrapped with Christmas gift paper and tied with a little red bow.

They were absolutely perfect for the occasion.

In the meantime…

Yale also prepared a Christmas gift for Josh.

“This is yours. There’s another one, too… It’s for Eden, whom I’ve never met before. Help me pass it to him.”

“Okay. Yale, this is your gift.”

Josh knew that Yale was coming, so of course, he prepared a gift for Yale.

Everyone exchanged gifts.

Jane saw it all unfold.”

Without knowing, her mind recalled the scene of Madelyn and the Fowlers exchanging gifts. It seemed like a lifetime ago.

But this time, Jane was surrounded by her “found family” and her seniors.

Jane would never have to wander through life alone again, without anyone by her side.

“Although I want to open the gifts and see what’s inside, I’d better leave it as a surprise. I’ll unwrap it in the room. Opening it now would be impolite. By the way… Mr. York, Mr. Zoe, please wait a moment.”

Jane ran to her hotel room with the gifts she had received from her seniors.

Then, she brought two gifts and gave them to Clarence and Tristin, respectively.

Clarence and Tristin were slightly shocked when they received Jane’s gifts. “We have gifts, too?”

“Of course. We’re friends, after all. Since you’re visiting during Christmas, I have to prepare some gifts for you, don’t I? I

think these gifts would suit the two of you very well. I spent a lot of time thinking about it. Don’t think that I’m only nice to my seniors. I remember everyone who treats me well.”

Jane raised her eyebrows.

Clarence and Tristin were not the only people who treated her well.

There were also Andy, Lila, and Hugh….

And Jane had also prepared gifts for them..

When she returned to Crucsia, she would have a chance to give them their gifts.

“Oh, my…”

Immediately, Clarence and Tristin felt like the gifts they were holding were like hot potatoes.

It was because they did not expect they would have to prepare Christmas gifts for Jane.

Now that Jane had given them gifts, wouldn’t it be rude of them not to give her something in return?

“Jane… We came in a hurry. We were preoccupied with Mr. Mitchell’s security assignment and didn’t think of this. This Nebean dagger has been with me since I was in the army. Its existence is irreplaceable, like my own life. If you don’t mind, please accept it.”

Tristin pulled out the Nebean dagger. He had always carried it with him and kept it safe.

“I was awarded this pocket watch the first time I received the Medal of Glory from the army. I’ve been carrying it with me, just like Triştin. Due to too many factors, I didn’t think to prepare any gifts… Please accept this.”

Clarence took out a vintage pocket watch. It looked historically significant.

“Alright, alright. These two items are so important to you. How can I accept them? When I give gifts, I never ask for anything in return. I only give them to the people I want to give to. These gifts you’ve prepared for me mean so much. They’re even better than my gifts. Because of that, I’ll owe you both a favor if I accept them.”

Jane shrugged, not wanting to accept the gifts.

“No. You’ve been of great help to our organization. If you don’t accept it, we won’t leave.”

Instead, Clarence and Tristin became more insistent.

After a brief pause, Jane said, “Alright, I won’t leave you hanging. I’ll accept your gifts.”

After accepting Clarence and Tristin’s gifts, Jane returned to her room happily.

Before closing the door, she smiled at everyone.

“Merry Christmas, everyone. Goodnight, Yale, Josh, Mr. York, Mr. Zoe. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Although it was already 11:30 p.m., Jane wanted to stay with them for a while longer.

However, she was too curious about what gifts they had prepared for her.

She did not want to wait any longer.

After Jane returned to her room, Josh pointed out that it was getting late and he had to go back first.

Josh was the first one to leave.

Clarence and Tristin also wanted to continue to make security arrangements for Yale.

At that moment, Yale took out a small notebook.

“Wait a minute. I’ve also prepared gifts for the two of you.”

Both Clarence and Tristin shouted in unison. “Don’t!” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Although they were overjoyed and excited that Mr. Mitchell would think of them, they had no more gifts to spare.

distressed.

It was the first time they felt so tormented when receiving gifts. They were very

Jane returned to her room.

The first gift she unwrapped was Yale’s.

His gift was a transparent crystal ball.

“Huh? Yale’s gift is so… unique.”

Jane touched the transparent crystal ball with her fingertips.

Immediately, it was as if the crystal ball was deconstructing.

It became a DNA helix, spiraling on an axis.

It kept changing.

Jane was shocked.

“What on earth is this?”

She had never seen anything like it.

Jane found a note inside the gift box.

On if

it was Yale’s handwriting.

“Jane, this is a crystal ball made from the most recently discovered scientific factor. Through contact with the electrons in

a person’s fingerprint, it deduces the positive and negative electrons in the brain and automatically produces any image you’re thinking of.”

Jane was amazed.

It sounded… very high-tech.

Jane had heard of this research factor.

Several years ago, Jane accepted an assignment with the No. 7 Scientific Research Organization on the Darknet.

It involved the research of this scientific factor.

Unexpectedly, now, it had been invented.

It was just that the production cost was exorbitant.

This little crystal ball was made from scientific factors.

Jane knew it cost tens of millions.

That was a massive amount of money.

Due to the cost estimate, it could not officially enter production. Only a prototype based on the proof of concept could be made.

As Crucsia’s leading scientist, Yale had countless patents and copyrights. Those royalty payments alone would have earned him more than millions of dollars each year. He was not short of money at all.

Jane tried to think of Yale and touched the crystal ball with her fingertips.

Whoosh-

The crystal ball began to transform.

It did transform into a *****, transparent “little Yale”.

It even looked similar to him.

Jane thought of other people.

The crystal ball changed according to Jane’s thoughts.

“This high-tech gift matches Yale’s personality so much. Haha. I like it.”

Jane was grateful. Yale had given her such a thoughtful gift.

Next, she unwrapped Josh’s Christmas present.

Judging from the gift wrapping, it must be a painting.

After Jane unwrapped it, she saw the painting.

She could not help but be stunned.

It was a painting of Humphrey Mitchell, her Teacher.

Even though Humphrey still looked young in the painting, Josh’s superb painting skills made him appear vivid and lifelike.

It seemed like the Teacher had taken a photo when he was young, and the portrait had been passed down.

Through the frame, Humphrey’s eyes seemed especially clear. They were like black holes, deep and captivating. It reminded Jane of the day she first met the Teacher.

His silhouette was the same as how Jane remembered him.

In excitement, Jane immediately took out her phone and sent a message to Josh.

[Josh, this gift… It’s a portrait of Teacher from when he was young. I can’t believe it.] Josh replied, [How is it? Do you like it, Jane?]
