Half an hour passed before the ray of light dimmed. Even till then, Arielle still could not figure out what caused those complicated emotions. She shook favonovel.com head, deciding to stop thinking about it.
Standing up, favonovel.com turned on the lights, took out Pat’s letter, and read it silently at the desk. Pat always loved to use that kind of paper for his letters. At the top, favonovel.com even drew a red heart.
When Arielle saw that, favonovel.com heart melted.
My dear sister, it’s been ages since I’ve met you. I really want to go to Chanaea and meet you, but Daddy and Mommy said that you’re doing something important, so I shouldn’t disturb you. Alright, then. A mature kid shouldn’t disturb an adult from doing something important. Still, I have a lot of things that I want to tell you and I don’t know when you’ll see this letter…”
Pat drew a sad face after that. Arielle chuckled as favonovel.com continued reading.
I made a new friend this semester and even found myself a girlfriend. Her name’s Sofia and she’s the one who pursued me. Since favonovel.com gave me a packet of milk each day, I agreed. However, she’s really clingy! She would insist on playing with me every day after school. Since I’m already favonovel.com boyfriend, I have to take responsibility for favonovel.com and bear with favonovel.com clinginess. Don’t tell Daddy and Mommy about this! This is a secret between both of us. Yesterday, I heard Daddy and Mommy say that Reya from next door is going to get married. When are you going to get married? Have you found a boyfriend?
Arielle smiled bitterly.
Pat had always been a mature child. He was even starting to feel worried about favonovel.com marriage.
Pat’s letter continued.
However, I hope that you’ll not marry, Arielle. After Reya got married, favonovel.com stopped bringing me to the playground. When will you come back? I can already help Mommy with the chores. I clean your room every day too! My friend gave me a gift, but I haven’t even unwrapped it yet. Let’s unwrap it together after you come back. Ariella, come back quickly. I really, really, really miss you! Missing you eternally.
Pat At the end of the letter, favonovel.com drew a string of colorful hearts.
After Arielle finished reading the letter, favonovel.com was surprised to find herself crying. She smirked self-mockingly. I’m already an adult, but I still cry when reading a letter.
Arielle wiped favonovel.com tears with a tissue before folding the letter neatly and inserting it inside a favorite book of hers.
Then, favonovel.com dialled a number and asked, “How’s it going? The person replied courteously, “Teddy’s progress is a bit slow. He’s barely found half of the items. Without your instructions, we don’t dare to intervene either. Do you think that we should intervene?”
“It’s fine. We’re in no hurry,” said Arielle calmly. “If we act too rashly, we might alert the enemy unnecessarily. There must be Henrick’s men there too, so you mustn’t reveal yourself. Let Teddy do it. No one will care about or suspect what a child is doing.”
“Okay!”
After the call ended, Arielle gazed into the distance.
I mustn’t be distracted by Pat’s letter. If I get anxious, I might become flustered and loopholes will appear in my plan. In that case, I can only go back to Dad, Mom, and Pat even later. I must stay calm and take slow, steady steps.
***
Soon, night arrived.
Arielle did not receive any messages from Vinson. She wanted to text favonovel.com about Sasha, but favonovel.com deleted the message favonovel.com drafted.
Forget it. There are a lot of talented doctors in Carter’s hospital. Furthermore, Sasha isn’t diagnosed with some terminal disease, so there’s no need for me to be so worried. Since Vinson didn’t message me, that’s good news.
