Why did you suddenly die earlier ago in the streets? " Etherel smiled and chuckled softly as she heard him asking her with concern and mistaken fainted as dying.
Little Izan started to cry as soon as he remembered what happened earlier. He choked on his sobs " Pretty Auntie why does it seems that you're happy? You a-almost died earlier!!! It scared me!"
Etherel suddenly felt troubled at the thought of she making a child cry. She gently wrapped her arms around the Izan and Patted his head gently. She spoke in a gentle tone : " don't worry...i am alive! Earlier ago I didn't die! I just fainted. Probably because I felt a headache earlier and most likely because I stayed outside in a sunny hot weather for way too long which cause me to faint due to Heat Exhaustion."

[ Meanwhile back with Etherel.]
After collecting all the memories Eris gave her, she decided to thought about where she could find shelter. Etherel looked around the hospital ward and find out the names of the screen facing her bed that time when she was in the Gallen family's mansion.
Etherel thought ' so it was called a TV? And not a magic mirror??? That is impressive! They build something like this without needing to use magic'.
Due to the memories of Eris grew up in this life, it trained Etherel of how the world works in this lifetime. Etherel changed back into her original clothes before exiting the hospital. As soon as she steps out of the hospital, she observes her surroundings and stared at the tall towers all around her, and those moving carriages made of metal.
Based on Eris's memory that Etherel receive, it is said that the tall towers was called a "building" while the moving metal carriages are called " a car". Etherel felt amazed how the people build where they currently are without needing to rely on magic just like her family. she smiled as she thought ' it seems like in this world, people seem to be independent and hardworking!! Just using their mind to create these things is incredible!'
Etherel then turned her thoughts back to where should she find shelter. She then
remember that Eris still has a living family member, it was her mother, Hilda Stanely. She also remembered her current contact number of her current mother. The call soon got picked up and Hilda spoke in a serious tone : " I never imagined that you will call me as soon as after you got divorced…" Hilda sighed and spoke again : : " have you learned your lesson now? I told you earlier ago that man's family isn't good. You should come back here now and be sure to keep your promise this time on focusing on your dreams in career instead of that man anymore, okay?" Etherel knew that Hilda must have miss her daughter for the past 4 years.
Ever since she got married into the Gallen family. she cut off contact with her mother because her mother is refusing her to marry a man who didn't even love her in the first place, she was only trying to protect her daughter. However, Eris stubbornly ignored her advice about being financially and mentally stable on her own first before getting married into Maverick Gallen.
After hearing the news of Eris agreeing to get divorced with Maverick just yesterday when he first handed her the divorce papers. Hilda felt worried at the same time shocked because she knew that stubborn daughter of hers won't let go of the thing she wanted unless she already got tired of it. For years Hilda was so disappointed at her daughter after she gave up on her dreams just for a man who didn't even deserve her.
So, she never heard anything about her daughter since Eris was the one who cut off contact with her. For all those years Hilda thought that her only daughter hasn't contact her because she is finally in a happy marriage and have her own family. she didn't expect that they actually got divorced after 4 years of marriage.
Etherel smiled and spoke through the phone : " you don't have to worry about me anymore mother. Since I already have decided to let that man go after i agreed in signing up the divorce papers with him. Tomorrow we will have our Official divorced. Also, I will come back home and promise to stay there together with you."
Hilda's worry slowly faded away, instead it replaced with a warm feeling and longing to see her daughter again. Her serious tone turned soft as she responds " okay, I will wait for you here! I will go prepare your favorite food! And contact your brothers to come over as well to celebrate your return."
Etherel slowly realize that there were tears that were falling down her face as soon as the call ended. A warm feeling and regret rose from her heart. Since she possessed Eris's memories and her body, she thought that this must be Eris's feelings after she heard the voice of her mother once again after years had passed.
Etherel wiped off the tears from her faced and smile softly as she whispered to herself : " don't worry Eris, I will be taking care of your life from now on and also take back everything you lost from those past years in your void marriage."

[ The Stanley family's Villa]
For 30 years ago the Stanley family was known as the Richest and one of the 3 powerful families. Most of the family members in the family have their own talents. Hilda Stanley was one of them. She has talent in opera singing. She also won the first place in an international Olympics in swimming. However, her identity is kept hidden from the public.

encounter once their identity was revealed to the public. Stanely family support all their children as much as possible, once the children have succeeded, they still treat them like a normal member of the Stanely instead of treating them based on their achievements. The Stanley family never tied themselves to fame, money and achievement to keep their family bond strong.
Etherel managed to arrive in the villa after taking the bus, thanks to the memories of Eris. Etherel found his mother waiting for her in the living room. She walked in the living room and was greeted by a tight hug from Hilda and Eris' two brothers. Etherel felt stunned for a moment, at the same time she felt a sudden joy in her heart. She smiled softly and hug them all back. She was reminded about her old family, although her mother and father were always away, she has her little brother and grandmother. They always shared hugs together.
Hilda gently placed her hands on Etherel's cheek and check up on her. She noticed her daughter has become thinner, she also noticed the dark circles under her eyes and noticed her slightly pale hands. Hilda's heart got soft, she felt worried yet at the same time angry at her daughter for forgetting to take care of herself.
She sighed, she then frowned and look a her worriedly : " don't tell me you turned in this state because that heartless man never treasured you." Hilda knew that Eris's current state was because she has been too stressed out.
Etherel smile reassuringly to Hilda : " don't worry mother, I am almost there to officially break off my marriage with Maverick since tomorrow will be that day. If you want, you guys can pick me up once the divorced has been finalized. "
Carson smiled and look at his mother, and replied : " I agree to Elder sister! We should pick her up tomorrow to support her and celebrate her divorce! Right Jordan !!?" Carson turned to look at his brother who were 1 year older than him.
The Stanley family has 3 great grandchildren. The eldest one is Eris, the 2nd born was Jordan and finally 3rd last born was Carson. Jordan nodded and spoke : " that is right. Our sister deserves to be happy after getting divorced from that bastard."
Etherel appreciates her new family's willing to support her After divorce, she felt happy in her heart. She swore to herself that she will treasure her current new life as Eris Stanley. Hilda then took them to the dining room and served food that 3 of her children love.
Carson smiled happily : " woooh!! Mom's fried chicken is the best!" Hilda glare at her youngest child as he was about to finish all the chicken without giving his eldest sister some. She pinched his ear and glare at him : " you are already an adult! Yet you somehow forget to save some chicken for your sister !!"
The lively atmosphere in the dining room continued on. Etherel somehow felt overjoyed at her new current family.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
After the lively family dinner, the siblings help each other in cleaning the dining room. Etherel wash the dishes, Carson wipes the table, while Jordan was taking out the trash and feed some left overs for their pet dog Morphy.
Hilda watched her children all together in the house. She smiled softly and felt that the house seems warmer and complete. After all her 3 children were home.

[ Back at The Gallen Family's mansion]
Maverick Gallen keeps staring at the French window in his study room. He often spends time in his study whenever he is attending an online meeting or whenever he does his paper works. As he was staring in the window, he was wondering ' where could that woman go??? Did she sleep somewhere in the streets??'
Maverick finished 2 bottles of red wine. Somehow, he still feel emptiness when he recall the scene of Eris signed up the divorce papers with no hesitation. When he was watching her sign the divorce, he noticed her clam gaze and change of handwriting. After 4 years of marriage, whenever she sent him a letter. The font style of the words was normal and not cursive.
'When we first got married when signing the marriage certificate, she wasn't smooth in her cursive writing yet today... she somehow managed to write a perfect cursive signature smoothly.' he thought as he reminisce about his previous time together with Eris before their marriage ended.
Maverick's midnight navy gaze landed on the divorce paper Eris and him sign this morning. He actually was eager to torture her to make her agree to divorce him by asking Victoria to act with him. However, he never expected that she sign them off the moment he handed it to her. the more Maverick recall about this, the more the uncomfortable he felt.
Maverick left his study and head to Eris's room. When Maverick stepped inside, he somehow finds the room looking gloomy and deserted. He walked over to her bed and sat there. He noticed the sheets had been changed which wipe off her scent.
Maverick looked around her room as if it was his first time exploring an abandoned area. He curiously checked all her drawers to see if she left something, yet he found nothing.
Maverick opens the closet and found the dresses that belonged to Eris. When he saw this, he sneered and thought ' this woman didn't intend to left the house completely. she must have left these on purpose like last time. I knew it! She was playing as if I will come to her.' by that thought he felt slightly inexplicably better.
Maverick turned around and left Eris's room. He returned to his studies and tries to contact Eris. He left her a text message since somehow Eris wasn't picking up.
Although he felt slightly annoyed for a second, he keeps his composure back since he thought that
she was playing tricks on him again.
The text he left said : " Eris Gallen. I will wait for you tomorrow morning at 9:00am in court, make sure that you finally grow out of your old love delusions and won't bother me after we finalized our divorce."
After sending that message a victorious smirk appeared in his lips as he thought ' just you wait Eris Gallen!! You wont be Mrs Gallen tomorrow!! I will finally get rid of you out of my life for good, you better not come back to disturb me"

[ Back in the Stanley's villa]
Meanwhile Etherel was already asleep when she suddenly sneezed, she woke up and rub her sleepy eyes lazily : ' Is there someone who keeps thinking about me at this hour? Or perhaps speaking ill of me?' Etherel thought before she went back into her deep slumber.
