My Great Escape Led Me to You novel Chapter 354

You can fake your words, your actions, even your smiles—but the truth always shows in your eyes.

Emily Blair’s eyes were the purest she’d ever seen.

Clear, bright, and unwavering.

Eyes like those made her like Emily from the very first moment. She had no proof, didn’t know Emily well at all, but she was certain all the rumors about Emily were lies—baseless gossip, nothing but slander.

Maybe it was precisely because of those rumors that she felt an extra sense of care for Emily, the kind of protectiveness a teacher feels for a student. She wanted to help whenever she could. She couldn’t just stand by and watch Emily’s future be ruined by malicious talk.

And now, as she looked at Emily again, she saw the same clear, steady gaze as when they first met.

So pure, so determined—how could she possibly refuse Emily’s request?

In the end, she simply said, “I’ll go with you. If anything goes wrong, I can speak up for you.”

Emily hesitated, uncertainty flickering in her eyes.

She could tell Emily didn’t want to drag her into this. So she spoke again, firmly, “Even if you tell me not to, I’m going. This is my school—I’m a teacher. I can go wherever I like.”

Emily’s eyes widened in surprise.

She almost laughed—when Emily was calm, she was sharp and composed. But when she got flustered, with those wide eyes, she looked adorably clueless.

With a student this naive, how could she not worry?

“It’s settled, then. No arguments.”
