Chapter 472 Cherishing the Present This wasn't about having skind of savior complex.
In a way, by saving them, Jean was also saving herself.
At the very least, aside from the uncertain future, things weren't so bad right now, were they? She was being treated with genuine kindness by the Ginger family. Maybe, once the real daughter returned, they'd "go easy" on her....
Maybe she wouldn't end up with the stragic fate as the original Jean.
She stood up and slowly walked to the window, opening the glass pane.
Her eyes looked out.
Outside were lush green trees, bright and burning fields of flowers, grand and majestic buildings-but most importantly- This was her "home." A place that held warmth.
No matter what the future brought, no matter when Sarah would return, she wanted to cherish the days she had now.

Jean let out a deep breath, her heart full and steady with strength.
Of course, there was also a tiny part of her that was selfish- If the rest of her tin the Ginger family could be just as beautiful and moving as today... she couldn't ask for more.
Four years later.
Jean had just finished her SAT.
The classroom was a noisy mess.
Everyone was packing up their books, faces lit with barely contained joy.
Their brows were relaxed, carefree. Most were already chatting excitedly about vacation plans.
At Stellarford, the high school was full of children born into privilege, kids whose futures had already b paved by their families. For them, the SAT was more of a formality-a ritual. Even if they didn't get top scores, they still had the option of going abroad and more room for failure than the average student.
Stellarford also had a university division, and students from its own high school received special perks- They could enter the university with slightly lower scores than others.

So right after the exam, they left their stress behind and filled the classroom with lively chatter, none of it related to studying.
Jean sat at her desk, calmly packing up her supplies.
Hard to believe-she was about to enter her fifth year in this 's world..
The past few years had gone by smoothly.
There was a long stretch of twhen she hadn't attended school.
But eventually, boredom got the better of her, and she returned to class.
New classmates, a new environment-without the previous cold shoulders and discrimination. It had been peaceful. She went on to enter Stellarford's high school division without a hitch.
The material wasn't hard for her. She cruised through it easily, never m scoring lower than second place in the entire grade. She becone of Stellarford's top students.
Her classmates only looked at her with admiration. No one disrespected orignored her any anymore. Jean had finally gotten to live a normal school life.
Of course, she still hadn't revealed her true identity to anyone.
The fact that she was the Ginger family's daughter remained a secret.
And she liked it that way.
She wanted a quiet life and didn't want anything to disrupt it.
After putting her things in order, Jean turned her head and looked out the window.
On the smooth, clear glass, the reflection of a young girl's face stared back at her.
