As if he could hold up the sky, Lyra's heart gradually calmed down.Ronan looked at the director and spoke fluently in English, "Before my grandmother went missing, was there anything unusual that happened?"The director rambled on, and Ronan translated each sentence for Lyra.It turned out that the day before her grandmother went missing, a young man had come to the nursing home looking for her.The next day, her grandmother mysteriously disappeared."Who is that person?" Lyra asked anxiously.Lyra had grown up with her grandmother, and she knew better than anyone that her grandmother had no other relatives besides her.Why would someone come here to see her grandmother?Her grandmother's senile dementia was already severe, forgetting many things, and becoming less lucid with each passing day.Even if that person really knew her grandmother, what did he want from her?The director shook his head, saying a few words.Lyra understood that he didn't know who that person was; the name o
Don't think he doesn't know. That damn fox spirit, Torin, always looks at Lyra with that sly expression, as if trying to undress her with his eyes.If he hadn't been keeping a close eye, the fox spirit might have confused Lyra, leading her to book a room together.Maybe he would've become the third wheel, and a shiny green hat would be placed on his head.So he had to keep an eye on them, absolutely not giving the fox spirit any chance!Lyra disdainfully snorted, "Ronan, don't assume everyone is like you.""Do you dare to say he's not like me?" Ronan instantly got irritated."He's not like me!""He's just like me, always wanting to have you!" Ronan asserted confidently."..."How could Lyra forget? How could she compare Ronan's shamelessness?Her cheeks blushed instantly, and she covered her face with a towel, "Snap," closing the bathroom door.Ronan crossed his arms, standing outside the bathroom, confidently and loudly saying:"All men are the same. I know exactly what he's thinking
"Cut it out." The two tall men exchanged a glance. Ronan quickly said, "Lyra, don't be afraid. Maybe it's not her at all?"Torin, with deep eyes, looked at Lyra and said, "I've seen your grandmother; I can recognize her. Don't go in, wait for me here."Lyra desperately shook her head; she knew they were trying to comfort her."I must see it with my own eyes to feel at ease," she said.With the support of the two men, Lyra walked into the police station, staggering with each step.Her breath became increasingly rapid, her heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of her chest.Torin walked over and spoke to an African-American police officer.The officer led them to identify the body.Finally, they reached an empty room, the temperature dropping several degrees, sending shivers down their spines.Lyra, not knowing where she got the strength, suddenly pushed away the two men beside her and rushed forward.On a table, a body wrapped in a body bag. The African-American police officer
The two men exchanged a glance, each feeling a sense of victory in their minds.Over the next two weeks, Ronan made phone calls every day, seeking help from all directions."Is this Peter? Hey, long time no see! It's like this, my wife's grandmother...""Jackson, how are your connections in Minnesota? I need to ask you for a favor...""I'm Ronan, yes, there's something I'd like your help with..."Ronan had changed. Those phone calls were something he had never done before, and he ended up owing many favors.But now he didn't care at all.His attitude in speaking was also something Lyra had never seen before.He, who had always been a dominant figure in T City, now spoke with an obvious awkwardness and stiffness, appearing very unfamiliar.He had always held himself high and never lowered his posture to ask for help from others.But now, for Lyra, he shamelessly went around asking people for help.Even with some people he barely knew, he called and exchanged pleasantries.If those peop
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Mr. Ronan!" Ronan and Lyra simultaneously stopped in their tracks and looked toward the source of the voice. A stylishly dressed woman hurriedly ran out from a jewelry store."So coincidental! Mr. Ronan, you're here too?" The woman stopped in front of Ronan.Ronan looked at the woman somewhat absentmindedly, taking several seconds to recall that she was a young model he had played with before.What was her name again?Ronan couldn't remember.He subconsciously nodded, "Uh, just wandering around."Torin lightly curled his lips and asked, "Mr. Ronan, is this your friend?"Ronan furrowed his brows, wondering what this damn fox was scheming. He hadn't engaged in such activities outside for eight hundred years!Unfortunately, due to too many past indiscretions, the dead fox had caught some evidence.As expected, Torin lightly chuckled, insinuating, "Mr. Ronan has good social skills; you can encounter your friends even in the United States, huh!"Ronan directly i
After more than ten hours of long-distance flight, Ronan took advantage of Torin going to the restroom and immediately jumped over to occupy Torin's seat, sitting confidently next to Lyra.Lyra, half-asleep, opened her eyes and glanced at him."Be good, keep sleeping," Ronan petted her head affectionately, making her lean against his shoulder.Without fully realizing it was Ronan, Lyra closed her eyes again, continuing to sleep peacefully.When Torin returned, he saw Ronan taking his seat and stood in front of him with narrowed eyes."Mr. Ronan, it seems like your seat isn't here."Ronan smirked, indifferent, "If I get up now, Lyra will wake up."Torin, seeing Lyra sleeping soundly, hesitated. She had been through a lot in the past month.He couldn't bear to disturb her, so reluctantly took a seat nearby.Ronan felt so triumphant inside!Damn fox, try to compete with me!Little did he know, his moment of tr
He waited for her for a full two years, and now that she finally woke up, how did she manage to fall asleep again?"What's going on?" Ronan asked with a serious face.The doctor explained with some difficulty, "Miss Cordelia woke up, but due to your request, we couldn't let her leave. She couldn't stay idle and helped around the hospital, but ended up collapsing from exhaustion.""Helped?" Ronan roared angrily, "I've donated so much money to this hospital, and this is how you treat the people I care about!"The doctor was frightened, repeatedly waving his hands, "Mr. Ronan, you've misunderstood, it's not our fault!"Suddenly, the person in the bed made a sound, slowly opening her eyes.Ronan excitedly bent over, standing by the bedside, "Are you awake? Are you okay? Do you remember me?"Cordelia Locke, upon opening her eyes, saw a face as handsome as jade.Those eyes, like obsidian, seemed to possess a magical charm, drawing pe
"No, I don't want to go in," she said.Torin held her fingers, and Lyra's fingertips were a bit cold.Torin squeezed her hand firmly and gently said, "I'll accompany you inside."Lyra looked at him, Torin's eyes always so gentle.It gave the illusion that every word he spoke had the power to soothe one's heart.Lyra involuntarily nodded, Torin holding her hand, pushed open the rusty gate with the other.Weeds were rampant underfoot, and with every step Lyra took, she thought.The cherry tree in front of the door would bloom with beautiful cherry blossoms every spring.After the flowers fell, small cherries would grow, red and sour, very delicious.Her grandmother had made her a small swing, and she used to swing high there when she was a child.Her grandmother always sat on the wicker chair, watching her with kindness.However, everything had disappeared.In front of her, there was only a messy yard
