(Flora's POV) I took Iggy and drove all the way to Emerald Mountain. The scab on my face had fallen off, but there were still scars. I asked the dermatologist, and they said that my wound was too deep. With the current medical technology, even if it could be repaired, there was a high probability of failure or long recovery. Getting such an answer from the doctor, I had no intention of repairing it, so I continued to drive with Iggy.We went all the way to the north. After driving for several days on the road, we finally reached the emerald mountain that I'm familiar with. This was where all my stories with Leo began. I missed this place so much. I remember Leo asked me what my biggest regret in the three years of marriage was. What I thought at that time was to return to Emerald Mountain with him. We both wanted to come back here, but in the end, only I came here… and Iggy…I drove the car into the forests of Emerald Mountain, parked it on the side of the road, opened the prepared t
(Flora's POV)However, even if the Green Jade Mountain really had some gifts left by the Gods for mankind, I didn't dare to think about it when I thought of Claude's death. I also didn't want to lose my life for some ethereal gift. I just wanted to be here, to have some peace and quiet, to get through this gloomy time after losing my mother and getting divorced.On the first day, I took Iggy for a walk around the neighborhood. We hit the stream and cleaned up the room.Iggy and I watched the sunset slowly fall on the other side of the mountain. In the evening, I locked the doors and windows, made dinner, and ate with Iggy by the fire. There was no internet, no gas or electricity, just a stream. Iggy and I seemed to be returning long before humans created so many things.We were in the house late at night and could vaguely hear wolves howling. There were still wolves on this mountain. Thinking of this, I was actually a little scared.I pressed the stool against the door and hid the sho
(Abbi's POV)Hearing Mable Bell's words, I hurried to Gray's house. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Gray, who was delirious and dumbfounded, and Mable Bell, who was standing by his side, asking him some very simple questions."Are you the murderer?""Yes," Gray replied blankly."Why did you do it?""Because I like Abbi Miller and want to help her kill Flora, the woman she hates." Gray's eyes were dull when he said those words. It would be great if he said these words in front of the police!"What's wrong with him?" I asked Mable Bell in surprise.Mable Bell smiled, raised her chin, and said, "I'm recently learning an ancient spell that can change people's minds. Of course, it works only for a while. Long-term change requires long-term casting. Do you want to try it?" Her eyes swept over me, making me shudder.I hurriedly said, "No, thanks. I don't want to try it. Gray can take the blame for me, right?""Yes. As for how to round up the lies in time, you'll have to figure it out yo
(Flora's POV)I dropped the gun and hugged Mable Bell. I didn't expect her to come to this place to find me. I was pleasantly surprised that I just felt like I was finally saved.She patted me on the back and comforted me by saying, "Don't be afraid. I'm here. You'll be fine."Only then did I dare to breathe out loud, feel her warmth, and shed tears. "Thank you…. Thank you for finding me so far, for so long.""Actually, it's easy to guess where you want to go. You just got divorced. You still love Leo, but you can't be with him. I thought you would come here, so I came to check and saw you unexpectedly. A poor little woman surrounded by wolves." Mable Bell teased me. She lit the fireplace, and the flames illuminated her face.I hurriedly closed the door and said, "Don't make fun of me. Thank you very much for saving me.""Okay, okay. I won't laugh at you anymore. You are really big-hearted. The scars on your face are still so obvious, so you came here alone. Flora, you should care mor
(Flora's POV)After handing Iggy over to Mike, Mable Bell and I went to where the witch doctor was. When the car was driving on the road in the small town, I couldn't help but ask with an uneasy suspicion."Mable Bell, before I go to the hospital, I want to know something. What is the price for you to help me?" I always knew she wanted to kill Leo for revenge. But now, why didn't she mention it again?Before, I wanted to know from her what had happened to my father, so I came to town with her without asking the reason. But she didn't do anything related to my curiosity after getting here. All this was so strange.Mable Bell answered me with a smile, "Don't worry too much. The price is very simple. I will tell a very important truth. After that, I will give you a choice to kill Leo or not. You have to choose between those two." Seeing that I was still in a fog, she continued, "In short, after seeing the witch doctor, I will tell you everything."I was even more puzzled by her answers.
(Flora's POV)"Flora, I don't want to hurt you and tell you such a painful truth. But, when I saw you alone in the wooden house full of wolf claw marks, I knew that you must go to your destiny. If you let yourself continue to love willfully, you will die." Mable Bell looked at me at the moment with eyes full of love and sadness.I lowered my head. I glanced at the mirror in front of me and the diary in my hand. I finally understood what had been bothering me before. If it weren't for Mable Bell, I would have died in the log cabin on Emerald Hill or in the car accident that disfigured me.In order to stop my death, she put this cruelest choice in front of me. Obviously, as long as I nodded my head, I could no longer love Leo, restore my appearance, and no longer get hurt.But, I always thought he walked with me on rainy nights, watched the morning sun together, and walked along the Green Jade Mountain together, looking at the stars above. In the end, he chose to divorce me and let me g
(Leo's POV)Where was Flora?Although the fact that Gray was the real murderer made me feel puzzled, since the cases had been solved, it was indeed necessary to tell her. However, when I wanted to find her, I found that she had completely disappeared.She didn't live in the same residence, her phone also couldn't get through, and she even left NK Media. That woman seemed to disappear from my world all of a sudden.At that time, I suddenly realized that this might be what she wanted when we got divorced. At the thought of that, I felt very sad. I thought we could at least keep in touch after the divorce.However, I still wanted to tell her that the killer had been caught. I also wanted to help her contact the doctor to see if the wound on her face could recover. Moreover, the mother's incident that day came so suddenly that I didn't have time to tell her about it.She wouldn't really disappear, would she?I still couldn't believe it.At that time, I suddenly understood what I would los
(Abbi's POV)Leaving Cody's house and looking at his diary, I felt a little beat in my heart. If there was nothing in that, Mable Bell might kill me. I hoped there was something she wanted on it.I opened the diary and began to read it. Soon, I saw the almost fatal text.'The workers are organizing a strike because they have not been paid for several months. I told Carl about my financial difficulties, and he... It couldn't save me. I drank some wine for Carl, hoping that he would reconsider the capital injection. He was not good at drinking and soon got drunk. I had to send him home. But I didn't think that someone had installed a bomb in my car. Carl is just an ordinary human. He can't bear the damage of the explosion. In order to make up... I decided to marry Leo and Flora, and I will try to make them... Happy.'It turned out that Flora's father died like this.The reason why I knew what happened to her and Leo on the Green Jade Mountain was also related to her father's death.At t
