DreameNovelChapter 16 After lunch, Ethan arranged for Clara to stay at a small inn in town.
"The school dorms are still being cleaned. It might take a couple of days before you can move in," he said, handing her his contact information. "Letknow if you need anything." Clara shook her head. "Mr. Stone, I'm planning to rent a small house with a yard instead. I'd prefer not to stay in the dorms. I just don't know the area well. Do you know where I could find one?" Ethan wasn't surprised. The dorm was just a small room with minimal comforts. For someone planning to stay long-term, renting a house was a better choice.

"Thank you, Mr. Stone. I really appreciate it," Clara replied, smiling as she saw him out.
The inn was simple but clean, with a warm, cozy atmosphere. Sunlight poured through the window, chasing away the lingering chill.
Clara took off her coat, revealing a black brace wrapped around her right wrist. A faint ache pulsed beneath it, and her expression tensed.
Even though she had been discharged from the hospital, her injury hadn't fully healed. She still needed tto recover. Day-to-day tasks weren't a problem, but she doubted her hand would ever regain the dexterity it once had. The thought of never being able to draw again left her eyes clouded with disappointment.
Clara rubbed her temples, suddenly realizing she hadn't called Katrina to check in. She fished her phone from her coat pocket and quickly dialed Katrina's number.

"Aunt Katrina, I'm here," Clara said, keeping her voice light. "It's nice here. The school arranged a place forto stay, so you don't have to worry." Katrina, who had spent the night worrying, finally felt a sense of relief. However, the feeling was short-lived. A flicker of guilt crossed her face.
Until Clara had told her about the teaching program, Katrina had no idea she had even applied. If Clara hadn't mentioned it, she might have left quietly without saying a word.
Now that it was settled, Katrina didn't see the point in bringing it up. "I'm glad you made it. Just be careful over there. Callif anything happens, okay?" she said.
"Of course. Don't worry about me," Clara replied, pausing briefly. "Aunt Katrina, what about you? What will you do now that I'm gone?" There was silence on the other end.
