Chapter 436 Alive +15 BONOS Melanie was getting suspicious.
Suddenly, she saw something purple in the luggage that Pam had cleaned up. It was something that would make a clear sound when interacted with... Something that she couldnât be more familiar with too...
That was the handâmade wind chime that sheâd commissioned for Elder Gibson!
The person that Elder Gibson couldnât forget...! She really was Pamela!
âWhat is it?â
Pam asked when she saw Melanie staring in a general direction, a stunned look on her face.
Pamela was also looking at her.
Melanie had a lot of questions inside of her, but she didnât know how to ask her. All she could do was smile and say, âItâs fine...â
Elder Gibson had booked a hotel for Pamela and her family. After seeing them off, Melanie couldnât help but call Elder Gibson and ask, âI just saw that wind chime with Pamela from Mount Coloss... You know who she is?â
âI knew that I couldnât hide this from you...â Elder Gibson said after pausing a little. âBut why did you phrase your question in such a way?â
âShe said she lost her memories and didnât even know who she was,â Melanie explained.
Elder Gibson sighed.
He then said in a rare, somber tone. âThis is somewhat complicated,.. We havenât met for decades. Iâm not even sure if I still know her...â
Melanie thought it over and figured out the meaning behind it all. âThatâs why you wrote letters and gave her gifts, hoping that she would remember you. Wanting to make sure if sheâs the person that you know?â
âYouâre right,â Elder Gibson said.
âShe has the wind chime with her despite coming over for the competition, which means that she really likes it. Maybe she has really seen it in the past?â Melanie prompted.
Elder Gibson sighed. âI met up with her last night. She said that she had read the mail and said +15 BONOS remember the event written on the letter.â
Elder Gibsonâs voice was even lower.
Just listening from his tone, Melanie could already empathize with the gloom that he was feeling. An old friend that Elder Gibson cared so much with and was so familiar with fragrance blending... Melanie gave it a thought and asked..
âMaster, are you suspecting that Yelena York didnât die after all?â
There was a strange sob from the other side of the line before Elder Gibson said, âPromise me.
Donât tell anyone about this for now.â
âI understand.â Melanie promised.
Both fell into silence.
After a while, Melanie remembered something and then asked, âYou havenât seen her for decades. but... Would her physical appearance have changed so much that she didnât look like her younger self at all?â
âI know what youâre trying to say. She didnât look like Yelena, but the way she walked and the way she looked at people, as well as her temperament... They do feel very alike!â
Elder Gibson couldnât help but become excited again. âNo, theyâre not alike... Theyâre one and the same!
Then that would be strange.
Melanie gave it a thought and asked, âMaybe I can go look for her and ask her the questions that you couldnât.â
âThatâs great. Please do.â
With that, Elder Gibson hung up first.
Melanie was also somewhat shaken.
Now that she recalled it, Elder Gibson had been looking at the sachet of dried flowers that Pamela gave her with a strange look when she came back from Mount Coloss...
After that, when she was organizing a perfume exhibition at Willowfort, Elder Gibson was also looking at the zoomedâin photo of Pamelaâs hands for a long time. Not to mention that according to Pam, before Pamela came for the competition, she bought a few outfits that she liked, which all 415 BONOS Yelena loved wearing traditional dresses all those years ago, and her favorite traditional dress was still in Elder Gibsonâs home in Willowlort....
There were clues littered all over!
But it was quite strange as well; Yelena had already passed away for decades. With the Yorksâ abilities, would they miss any clues that their oldest daughter was missing?
Not to mention that Yelena had died because of a hereditary heart disease. Melanie knew about the disease well. Someone wouldnât suddenly die because of it; patients would be tortured by both the sickness and the treatment, and what happened couldnât deceive any of thern....
In this case. Pamelaâs rebirth was even more curious.
Melanieâs first reaction was to ask Annie or Jeffrey to Investigate, but sheâd promised Elder Gibson that she wouldnât tell anyone about something like this. She had to keep it a secret.
If this drew the attention of the major families, then it didnât matter if Pamela was really Yelena York or not; it wouldnât be good for her at all.
That was why she had to keep this a secret from everyone, including Jeffrey.
The next day. Melanie bought some souvenirs from Harbor City to officially visit Pamela.
Shane and Pam were both absent. So Pamela wrote on a piece of paper. âTheyâre having a fun time now that theyâre out of the mountains. They want to have some fun before going back.â
Melanie nodded understandingly.
Pamela poured some tea for her. Melanie drank a cup and said, âPamela, Iâm here because I want to thank you for joining the competition for my sake. Without you, those menâs schemes would have worked.â
Pamela shook her head.
âSomeone told me that the level of skill you have isnât remotely close to what youâve shown yesterday. Youâre a prodigious perfumer, so donât worry about the victory or failure of a competition,â she wrote.
Melanie smiled.
Pamela could see that Melanie still cared about this and tried to console her. âThis is not a fair competition and is a scheme that is targeting you. Itâs just that the way I blend my perfume +15 BONOS Pamela could see through it all. Melanie gave her an understanding smile. âI know.â
After pausing a little, she then continued, âI also came for something else...â
Pamela focused on Melanieâs words, waiting for her to finish it.
Melanie went straight to the point. âYou must have heard that Iâm Elder Gibsonâs disciple?â
Pamela nodded.
âMy master said that you looked like a friend of his that he knew from his youth, which was why he wrote you letters and gave you a gift. He simply wants to know if youâre that friend of his. He took such a sudden action because of his impatience.â
When talking about Elder Gibson, Melanie still somewhat pitied him. Sheâd heard his assistant say that he didnât sleep the whole night and had simply stared blankly at the Emerald Vine perfume that he had blended for Yelena...
Pamela nodded and wrote on the paper, âHe explained everything to me already. I know.â
âThen, I want to ask if you really have no memories of him? Or... Do you remember anything after seeing his gifts for you?â
Melanie asked.
Pamela shook her head and paused briefly before writing. âThere are only two moments in all these years of having amnesia that Iâve had a vague feeling of familiarity.â
âWhen?â Melanie quickly asked.
