The nurse, who had been quiet for a while, now came over and said to Theodore in a low voice, âIf you donât want it, Iâll take it away.
â
As she spoke, she tried to take the necklace.
However, Theodore wouldnât let go of it.
He pursed his lips and said seriously, âThis necklace was obviously designed for a couple.
It isnât any ordinary jewelry.
Just keep it.
Maybe one day the ownerâs partner will come to claim it.
â
Devin didnât try to stop him, but nodded with a smile.
âIn that case, why not give it to the hospitalâs lost and found?â he suggested.
Theodore nodded and slowly loosened his grip on the necklace.
He watched as the nurse took the necklace away.
As soon as the necklace left his hand, Theodore felt empty in his heart.
He felt as if he was losing something invaluable and he would never recover it.
A week later, Ariana finally woke up.
When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Sonia sobbing with excitement.
However, after several days in a coma, Ariana didnât have the faintest idea where she was nor what had happened.
Her voice was rather hoarse when she spoke.
âSonia?â
âYou finally woke up!â Sonia exclaimed.
Her eyes were red from crying.
She leaned forward and asked with concern, âAre you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?â
Ariana actually felt pain all over her body when she moved.
However, she didnât mention it.
She looked around blankly and asked, âWhere am m7â³
âIn the hospital.
You were rescued from a car accident over a week ago.
The hospital couldnât identify you so they had to turn to the police for help,â Sonia said.
She paused and wiped her tears before continuing, âBy pure chance, I stumbled upon information about you when I went to the police station to see if they had any news of your whereabouts.
As soon as I heard you were in the hospital, I rushed here.
You had been in a coma for over a week.
You scared the hell out of me, do you know that?â
At the mention of the car accident, Ariana suddenly came to her senses and memories of that day rushed through her mind.
She straightened up and asked in a trembling voice, âA week ago? Where is Theodore? The last thing I remembered was him at the scene of the car accident.
How is he? Is he alright?â

Ariana felt that since she had been rescued, Theodore and the others should have been found too.
However, when Sonia heard Arianaâs question, her eyes seemed to get redder, which stunned Ariana.
Sonia couldnât bear to meet Arianaâs questioning gaze and she quickly looked away, her head lowered.
Suddenly, a shiver ran through Ariana.
She grabbed Soniaâs sleeve and asked, sobbing, âTell me heâs fine! Where is he now?â
âHe⦠H-He isâ¦â Sonia stammered, unable to speak.
This just made Ariana even more anxious.
She pulled Soniaâs sleeve harder and asked,
âHow is he? Tell me, please.
â
Under Arianaâs persistent pleas, Sonia finally relented, âHe⦠died in that car accident.
â
Ariana froze, tears streaming down her cheeks like a wild river.
âAriana, donât let it get you down too much.
Just take care of yourself.
â Sonia rushed to offer comfort in a soothing tone.
Arianaâs mind went blank and her frustration increased as she covered her face with trembling hands, struggling to find the right words
