Chapter 141 Chapter 141 Î Meanwhile , Noelle was being dropped off at school by Nicolas .
As she opened the car door , she turned to him and said , Nick , Im heading back to school now ! Alright .
If anything comes up , just call me , Nicolas replied , his voice calm and tender , laced with affection Got it ! Noelle nodded , about to step out of the car But then , out of the corner of her eye , she caught a glimpse of Nicolas sitting in the drivers seat , his handsome face softened with adoration as he watched her .
The warmth in his expression made her heart skip a beat .
Suddenly , Noelle slid back into the car .
Whats wrong Nicolas asked , puzzled , thinking she might have forgotten something But instead , she turned to him , wrapped her arms around his neck , and planted a quick , playful kiss on his lips .
Nicolas froze , his dark eyes widening in surprise .
Noelles eyes sparkled like stars as she grinned at at him .
Nick , thats a goodbye kiss ! Before he could react , she darted out of the car and ran toward the school gates .
After a few steps , she turned back , waving enthusiastically .
Bye .
Nick The sunlight bathed her delicate face , making her smile even brighter and more radiant , almost blinding in its brilliance .
Nicolas leaned against the car window , silently watching her retreating figure .
A soft smile tugged at his lips , and his chest swelled with emotion .
Hemused to himself , Noelle might be a bit clueless when it comes to love , but maybe just maybe , shes starting to feel something for me now .
On the other side , Noelle strolled through the campus , her heart still Cuttering from her time with Nicolas .
She was practically glowing .
surrounded by an invisible cloud of pink bubbles . She was over the moon .
Being with Nicolas made everything feel right .
No matter what came their way , as long as they were together , she felt invincible .
This is so perfect .
I wish I could stay with Nick forever , she thought , a smile tugging at her lips .
Noelle was lost in her daydreams , imagining a future with Nicolas , when suddenly , the necklace around her neck emitted a faint blue glow .
Then , a clear , melodious voice came through the necklace Noelle Good afternoon .
Noelle froze mid step .
She looked down at the necklace , confused .
Did the necklace just talk ? she wondered , a mix of confusion and disbelief crossing her face .
But the voice was different from the ones shed heard before .
It felt familiar , like something from a distant memory .
The voice chuckled softly Whats wrong ? Dont you remember me ? When Ying Nuo heard the girls puzzled voice , he could not help but chuckle and ask , Why ? Dont you remember me ? Hmm Noelle grabbed the necklace , tilting her head .
I think I do ... Let me think ! The voice Brandon was surprisingly patient .
He rested his chin on his hand , smiling as he said , Take your time .
Okay ! Noelles brain writ went into overdrive .
A few seconds later , slie gasped .
Ah ! Did you remember ? Brandon asked , amused .
Yeah Noelle held the necklace up , her eyes wide with excitement Youre Brand , right ? The Brand who used to do experiments with me ! The asscant standing across from Brandon broke into a cold sweat .
Noelle was bold enough to call the Commuuder der by his nickname so casually ! Bay Brandon didnt mind .
This lips curved into a smile , his emerald green eyes fixed on the silver orb in front of him .
Im glad you remember me .
Of course I remember ? Running into an old friend .
Noelle was visibly thrilled .
She ducked into a quiet corner and finally spoke up , her voice bubbling with excitement .

Noelle had many companions , but none stayed for long .
Brandon had been her longest lasting friend .
Theyd endured experiments together , shured pain , cried , and even slept side by side .
× ! During the brain development experiments the darkest period of Noelles life Brandon had been there .
When the pain became too much , and Noelle would cry , Brandon was the one who comforted her .
Noelle believed that without him , she wouldnt have made it through .
She thought theyd always be together .
But after the brain experiments , Brandon was taken away .
And she never saw him again Im sorry , Noelle .

But its okay .

Tim so surprised ! Brand , how can your voice come through the necklace ? Noelle asked .
Only the men in white coats from the lab had ever used the necklace to communicate .
Hearing Brandons voice through it was unbelievable .
Brandon patiently explained , Because Im now the Commander of the regional lab , I oversee everything , including your management Noelle gasped .
Brand , did you become one of the men in white coats ! Something like that , Brandon chuckled .
Noelle .

She nodded eagerly .
