A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 352

Carla had been the Lycan family's trusted nanny for many years, always diligent and reliable, earning Emily's deep trust. But time had its toll, and the years of hard work had taken a toll on her health.

Upon hearing that Carla was unwell, Emily felt a twinge of concern. She thought about visiting the elderly woman but was soon distracted by another thought.

"By the way, has Nic's room been tidied up?" Emily suddenly asked.

Jenson looked apologetic and replied, "Mrs. Lycan, you had instructed that only you and Ms. Shepherd could enter to clean the room, so…"

Emily understood. Since Carla was sick and she had been busy with matters in Solara mainland, Nicholas' room had not been cleaned. But she couldn't fault Jenson, as this was a rule she had set herself.

Nicholas' room had once been the sanctuary of Emily and Quintis's only son, Nicholas Lycan. Ever since the child went missing at the age of five, Emily had kept the room as it was, hoping one day he would return. She had cared for it for over a decade, maintaining it exactly as it had been, holding on to the hope, however faint, that a miracle might happen.

Although Emily and Quintis were nearly certain that Nicholas was no longer alive, Emily still harbored a sliver of hope. She wished that one day, their son would walk through that door again and that he would feel how much they loved him when he saw the room they had kept for him.

However, Emily knew deep down that day might never come.

The room had become more of a shrine to her lost son, a way to channel her grief. She had always been careful to ensure that the room remained untouched by anyone else, allowing only Carla to clean it. Clara was meticulous, and Emily trusted her alone with the task.

Now that she had been away for some time and Carla was ill, Emily worried that the room might have accumulated dust.

After finishing her tea, she decided to go upstairs and clean it herself.

When she reached the door to the room, she fumbled through her bag for the key but couldn't find it. She had clearly placed it in the bag earlier, so how could it be missing now?
