Bab 54: One Step Forward (1)

Early in the morning, the air around the Jiang estate was extremely refreshing. As Adrienne returned to the front lawn, sparrows pecked their meals from the tree branches. The sun seemed brighter as it had rained the night before, and the grass and tree leaves appeared moist as drops of water dripped from them.

As usual, Adrienne woke up to an early start. After having her morning run and a simple breakfast, she took a stroll in her mother's garden, noticing that the bushes had thickened and hadn't been trimmed for some time. As it wasn't the flowering season, the place was filled with dense, lush foliage instead. When the weather becomes warmer, the remaining buds that survived the previous season will surely bloom completely.
