Chapter 1594: Meeting in the Palace

That year marked the end of Lu Layuoka's human trafficking ring.Because she could never replace her younger sister, their mother grewdespondent and eventually passed away from melancholy.

That same year was also when Rowan resolved to become a doctor!However, his father was vehemently opposed to the idea, leading to arift in their relationship and sending it into a frigid winter.

With his sister's disappearance on top of that, Rowan was wracked withguilt. He did not want to selfishly enjoy the prosperity and nobility ofroyal life when his sister was missing. He felt he did not deserve it.

His sister and mother's absence also left him feeling stifled. He wantedto go out and search for his sister.

So Rowan left a letter and departed from the royal family, swearing notto return until he found his sister.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years went by...

He had been through so much, from hope to despair, but there was stillno trace of his sister.

At least he had completed his medical studies, which was some smallcomfort.

But now his father had been poisoned by a slow-acting toxin for fiveyears, which made Rowan incredibly distressed. Was fate playing acruel joke on him?

By this time, Claire had arrived at the palace gates. She could onlyguess that Prince Louis was Rowan, but had no way to be completelycertain.

She saw a servant standing by the gates and cautiously walked over.The servant stopped her, "Miss, have you come to the wrong place?"Claire had no choice but to stop. She peeked inside but did not seeanyone. Still, she had to confirm if this Prince Louis was Rowan or not.Putting on a friendly smile, she very politely said to the servant, "Hello,I'm here to see Prince Louis."

In a side hall inside the palace, Rowan vaguely heard Claire's familiarvoice, like a dream.

He quickly glanced towards the gates, then put down the photos andcords in his hands and closed the drawer. He strode out towards thegates.

At the gates, the servant turned around upon hearing footsteps."Prince, this young lady wants to see you and I stopped her. Who isshe to you? Do you know each other? Maybe she should call you first?""..." Of course she had no way to call him.

Claire was blocked, and anxiously peeked inside. Just as she was at aloss for what to do and the servant was about to chase her away, shesuddenly saw Rowan emerge!

The familiar sight of him walking towards the gates filled Claire withcomplex emotions...

Rowan's heart was also in turmoil as he strode over.

Their eyes met. Claire held her breath, the joy and peace in her heartindescribable.

It really was him!

Prince Louis really was him!

"What's going on?" Rowan's gaze fell on the servant, and he also sawClaire. He walked towards the gates, his expression cold and calm.The servant turned around upon hearing him and said, "Prince, thisyoung lady wants to see you but I stopped her."

Mindful of what she had seen on his Facebook, Claire clearlyunderstood their circumstances.

So she replied with a smile, "Prince, I saw a lot of gardenias beingdelivered here." She looked around the yard as she spoke.

Rowan stopped in front of her, his tranquil gaze settling on her face.The dark circles under her eyes were so heavy, had she not beensleeping well?

Claire brought her gaze back to meet his. She continued, "I really likeraising those plants too, but I can never get them to thrive. So I came toget some tips on caring for them."

Their eyes locked. With the servant present, both maintained a calmexterior, like veteran actors.

This was the first time they had seen each other since parting ways,and they tacitly pretended to be strangers.

The servant did not notice anything amiss either.

Rowan did not immediately answer Claire's question. Instead, headdressed the servant, "Please go purchase ten more pottedgardenias. I want to give them to this young lady."

He then said to Claire, "There's no special trick to raising flowers, justdifferences between varieties. Yours must be a difficult breed.”

The servant was slightly surprised but answered, "Of course, it will takesome time though. The nearby florists are all sold out, so I'll have to gofurther away."

"Very well, go on then,” Rowan nodded.
