Chapter: 629
A sense of solace washed over Ariana as Sarah continued to pat her back gently.
“It’s not a trifle. It’s incredibly important to you. Losing it is a significant loss. Don’t worry. Take your time
to think about where it might have dropped. Let’s search together.”
Under Sarah’s comforting presence, Ariana gradually ceased her weeping, finding solace in her friend’s
support. She wiped away her tears and fixated her gaze on the bracelet for a long moment, but no
clues revealed themselves.
In the past few days, she had traversed numerous places and dealt with countless matters. She
couldn’t pinpoint when exactly the pendant had slipped away. It was akin to searching for a needle in a
haystack.
Sarah glanced at Ariana’s bracelet and suddenly recollected something. “Is the pendant on this
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbracelet?”
Ariana nodded, her tear-stained eyes meeting Sarah’s. “Yes, it’s a key-shaped pendant.”
Upon hearing those words, Sarah’s expression brightened, and she grasped Ariana’s hand tightly. “I
remember now. On the day of the fire, when I came to visit you after you woke up in the hospital, I
didn’t see the pendant. Maybe it dropped at the scene of the fire.”
Ariana raised her eyes to meet Sarah’s, her anticipation visible. “Really?”
Sarah pondered for a moment before responding with a sense of certainty, “Yes, I did notice your
bracelet during your hospital stay. It was quite beautiful, so my eyes were drawn to it more than once.
Back then, there was no pendant attached to it.
Since that’s the case, it’s highly probable that it got lost at the scene of the fire.”
Ariana clasped Sarah’s hand, her grip shaky. She took a deep breath to steady her nerves before
asking, “Do you happen to know if the fire site has been cleared yet?”
Following the incident, she had been confined to the hospital. Subsequently, a significant quarrel with
Theodore had preoccupied her, leaving her no time to track the updates about the fire. She was unsure
whether she could visit the site now.
Speaking of this, Sarah’s face changed slightly and looked much more serious.
She paused momentarily before divulging, “Not yet.”
After the fire, she had had a hunch that something was amiss and had decided to investigate.
“The fire could have been deliberately set,” Sarah leaned in closer to Ariana, lowering her voice. “The
authorities are still probing the incident. The fire site has been cordoned off temporarily but remains
uncleared, pending the investigation. I didn’t tell you earlier as I didn’t want you to overthink.”
In that instant, Ariana seemed to disregard the sheer improbability of finding a tiny pendant amidst a
pile of debris. Even though she was aware of the absurdity and unlikelihood, she still wished to seek it
out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSarah could perceive Ariana’s thoughts but was more concerned about the physical strain the search
might impose on her. She suggested, “You should rest for now. I’ll accompany you to the site after
tonight.”
She then attempted to assist Ariana to her bed.
“No.” Ariana grabbed Sarah’s wrist. Now that she had confirmation that the pendant might be at the fire
site, she was too restless to wait. “I need to search for it now. I don’t want to wait any longer.”
Observing Ariana’s determination, Sarah realized that even if she insisted Ariana rest, it would be in
vain. She relented, “Alright, I’ll go with you. However, you must listen to my instructions. Don’t roam
aimlessly or your leg injury could worsen.”
As Sarah spoke, she playfully tapped Ariana’s forehead and teased, “Oh, you’re just fooling yourself!
You say you don’t care about Theodore, but deep down, it’s obvious how much you truly care about
him.”
