Chapter94
He furrowed his brows, wanting to say something, but didn’t
dare to speak.
Krista opened the box and inside was an extremely delicate
swan brooch, with two swan beaks hanging a teardrop–shaped
exquisité pearl, very beautiful.
Her lips curved slightly.
Terrence indeed did not forget their past.
heat
When she was young, she impulsively raised a pair of swans at
home, but she couldn’t take care of them properly at all, often
asking Terrence for help.
The pair of swans accompanied them for a long period of time.
Later, the pair of swans passed away one after another, and she
was sad for a long time.
Terrence made many crystal crafts for her using the photo of
the swans, including ones for the car, ones for the table, and also.
keychains, necklace chains, and more…
Krista took out her phone, snapped off the swan brooch, and
sent it to Terrence on WhatsApp.
“Terrence, is this for me?”
Terrence saw the message, his dark eyes fixed on the phone
screen for a while.
“Did you like it?”
He replied to the message.
“Hmm. Like Daisy and Coolie.”
Terrence pursed his lips.
Krista liked it, so there was no harm in giving it to her.
In addition, there were twenty–two more.
He bought them all, but actually only intended to keep one.
All the rest should be discarded.
Just leave one extra for Krista.
“Liked it, so kept it.””
Alenia.
Bethany didn’t dare to sleep, curled up in the corner of the wall,
ling and shivering, her nails almost embedding into the flesh of her palms.
With every thunderous moment, it felt like a hammer,
J
relentlessly pounding her heart.
Because of the thunderstorm, the power went out and the hotel
rooms were pitch black.
Only in the moment when lightning tore through the sky, could a glimmer of light be seen.
The whistling wind and the buzzing sound of rain hitting the windows almost took away all of Bethany’s courage, filling her innermost being with fear.
Childhood memories came flooding back.
That evening, it was overcast and rainy.
Mom gave her one hundred dollars and asked her to go to the supermarket at the entrance of the community to buy a bottle of soy sauce. She also told her that she could buy snacks that she
liked.
She took a long time to choose and bought a cake that her
mother loves to eat.
She came back happily, carrying soy sauce and snacks. Just as
she reached the bottom of the residential building, a person fell from the sky.
She was startled by the loud thud when it landed.
When she came to her senses, she found out that it was her mother!
Mom’s gentle eyes, round and wide open, with blood streaming from the back of her head, spreading on the ground like vines.
Mother’s eyes, nose, corners of the mouth, and ears all slowly oozed fresh blood, her entire body pale as a piece of paper, devoid of any signs of life.
Someone shouted “Jump off the building.”
Soon, Mom was surrounded by people.
The things in her hands fell to the ground with a bang.
She ran, squeezed into the crowd, desperately wanting to shout
for her mother.
The lips opened and closed, but no sound could be produced.
Then, there was a flash of lightning and thunder.
Chapter 4
Dad rushed back and locked her alone at home, then followed
the ambulance to the hospital.
The power went out at home, in the darkness, the horrifying
scene of her mother falling kept appearing before her eyes.
The sound of wind and rain outside the window, like a sob, and
the sound of thunder, constantly invaded her young heart.
She didn’t know why her mother jumped off the building.
She regretted why she had chosen so many snacks.
If she had come back earlier, Mom wouldn’t have jumped off
the building…
Bethany clenched her teeth, trembling as she took out her
phone.
In the darkness, the light from the phone screen was dazzling.
Her lips trembled..
Another huge thunderbolt struck, and she almost dropped her
phone.
Her chest heaved violently, her breath came in short gasps, and
she felt a suffocating sensation.
Chapter 4
She hadn’t encountered such a thunderstorm night for many
years.
Terrence.
The only person she could think of was Terrence.
Her fingertips trembled as she released Terrence’s phone from
the blacklist and dialed it out.
JUL
Terrence had just finished bathing when he heard the phone
ring.
Bethany’s name was jumping on the screen.
His thin lips were almost stretched into a straight line.
She also knew to remove his number from the blacklist!
These days, she didn’t know how much trouble she had caused
him.
He was forced to rush back from Alenia, looking dusty and
exhausted, only to hurry off to Alenia again.
