Chapter 435
After saying this, he took out his phone, wanting to contact the other party, “I’ll call right now, let’s see who they are, and if possible, you should meet them!”
Unfortunately, before he could make the call, Nara stopped him.
Nara waved her hands and gestured: I’ll contact them myself.
Matias was taken aback, “How will you contact them? You can’t make phone calls, can you?”
Nara glared at him, stubbornly pouting and gesturing: Can’t I send text messages and type?
Matias: …
Matias knew his sister appeared gentle and frail, but she was actually very stubborn inside; when she made up her mind about something, nobody else could decide for her.
He silently sighed.
Then he spoke up, “Then you send a message and ask
now.”
Nara nodded, took her phone, and went out the door.
She sat on the steps at the entrance, quietly looking
ahead.
Many people rented rooms within this courtyard house, the neighbors had all watched her and her brother grow up since they were little, and now they were all taking walks and chatting. novelbin
Nara watched them, her thoughts somewhat complicated.
She had known since she was little that she was adopted, and she also wanted to know who her biological parents were and why they had abandoned
her.
Was it because she was mute?
Her brother said that when he found her, she was about four or five years old, had a fever, and after waking up, she couldn’t speak anymore.
So, did her family not want her because she was mute?
Or because they were poor?
She had thought of countless possibilities, never expecting to see something on the TV today related to her own identity…
Thinking up to this point, she picked up her phone, hesitated for a long time, and finally sent a message to the other party: “Hello, I am the owner of that piece of jade, may I ask who you are?”
The other party did not reply to the message for the time being.
Nara stared at the phone, her hope gradually fading.
It seemed her family didn’t want to recognize her either, right?
That’s why they didn’t reply to her message promptly…
Nara gave a wry smile.
Then she suddenly saw a person entering through the front gate and immediately stood up-it was Keira.
She walked up to Nara and said, “Did someone from Jackson deliver your pendant back to you last night?”
Upon hearing this, Nara hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
Keira’s expression immediately darkened. “Then I’ll go and get it back for you now!”
Nara thought about it for a second, eventually nodding; knowing Keira could not understand sign language, she took out paper and pen to write it down, “I want to go with you.”
The fact that the jade had been on the news meant it had come from Jackson; could this mean that her relatives were in the hospital, too?
She wanted to check it out…
Keira nodded and went in to greet Matias.
Since Matias couldn’t walk yet, Keira asked him to stay at home. She then left with Nara.
After the two left the alley, they saw a black sedan
parked on the side of the road: Lewis was leaning
against the car waiting for them.
He was still dressed in casual attire, his demeanor relaxed, and his profound gaze fixed on Keira. His affectionate dark eyes seemed as if they wanted to draw her in.
Sunlight poured in from behind him, casting a golden glow over him.
For a moment, Keira was lost in a daze.
Lewis had truly transformed into a driver for her sake during this period, paying no mind to business affairs…
She lowered her gaze, letting Nara take a seat in the
back.
Then she got into the front passenger seat.
Nara was sitting in such a luxury car for the first time. She looked somewhat restless as she gazed at the clean leather cushions, clutching the corner of her clothes tightly. She then looked down at her dirty shoes, afraid of soiling the car.
Keira seemed to sense her discomfort and made small talk. “Nara, is that pendant very important to you?”
In a short while, Nara handed her a piece of paper that
5/A
read, “It was left to me by my parents. I was adopted by my brother.”
Keira was startled when she read this. “What? Then don’t worry. I will definitely help you get it back!”
Nara quickly replied, “Thank you.”
Keira looked at her through the car’s rearview mirror.
The girl sat there quietly, her clothes somewhat old but not dirty. She was a lovable girl.
Keira just curled her lips into a smile.
Jackson was in a hospital that, while not publicly disclosed, was easy for Keira and Lewis to find out about if they wanted to.
The car soon arrived at the hospital.
Keira still had Lewis stay in the car while she took Nara
upstairs.
The two walked down the long corridor and finally found Jackson’s hospital room.
Jackson was in a VIP room, and the corridor on that floor was rarely populated. It was very quiet.
Nara followed Keira nervously and quickly arrived at
the door.
Austin was inside at the time, chatting with Jackson.
Austin began anxiously. “Jackson, where exactly did. you get that jade piece? We’ve placed advertisements, and too many people have responded! We’re still screening one by one! If you get any information, you have to tell us fast!”
As he spoke, several more messages popped up on his
phone.
They were from people he didn’t know, who had mysteriously sent messages to him.
Most of them were asking, “That jade piece is mine, when can we meet?”
Others were inquiring, “I can provide information about the jade, can I get paid for it?”
Jackson saw these and immediately said, “Austin, these messages are just trying to scam us for money…”
Austin, without hesitation, replied, “How much money do you want?”
As he answered, he said, “As long as we can find my sister, no amount of money is too much!”
►
Jackson was speechless.
After Austin sent that message, he scrolled down
further…
At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Keira walked in with Nara confidently.
Jackson, upon seeing them, immediately became anxious, yelling fearfully, “Keera, what are you doing here again?”
Austin also sprang up. “Senior Sister, we’ve already left the Freeman Sect. You can’t come to reprimand us
anymore!”
Keira, finding their reaction amusing, said, “I’m here to get something from Jackson!”
Austin frowned. “What thing?”
Keira looked toward Nara, “What is the specific pendant?”
Nara took out paper and pen and wrote, “It’s a piece of jade, moon-shaped.”
