the one who protected you this time? How many times have you met him?
What do you think of him? Hurry and tell me about it! I’m dying to know everything about him.” Rubbing
her hands together, she couldn’t wait to listen to Angela’s story.
Angela was lost for words for a moment. Seems like Annie assumes that Richard and I didn’t meet
often. But who would know that we’d lived together day and night for two months? “1” She sat down.
However, as soon as she uttered the first syllable, Annie held her hand and asked again, “How is he?

good care of you?”
Angela’s heart suddenly clenched. Seeing the curious look in Annie’s eyes, she found herself at a loss

Angela’s heart twinged. As she took the crystal, Annie leaned over curiously to look at it, asking, “What

“Yeah. I got it in the mountains.” Angela put the crystal into her handbag.
“It looks quite beautiful. Do you want to make the crystal into a pendant or a bracelet?” Daphne asked
with a smile.
