Rosalyn understood, but the pressure was there.Eric had gotten into trouble. He'd entrusted her with his most important secret, and he'd told her that only she could know. That was a trust bigger than anything, even bigger than what he shared with his parents.And yet, he clearly had someone else in his heart.Rosalyn knew that thinking about romance right now was trivial and even tasteless, but she couldn't help it.Eric really confused her.Once all this blew over, she would have to re-examine their relationship. The three-month period she had mentioned was almost up.The news about Eric barely stayed viral for half a day. Someone was clearly manipulating things behind the scenes.The waves were too big. They had stirred up things that shouldn't be stirred, and it seemed that person was still wary.Rosalyn thought of Eric's warning. Although she felt uneasy, she didn't panic. She even followed his instructions, went shopping with Wendy, and accompanied Ophelia for spa treatm

The next second, Rosalyn reached out and closed the door again.Peter looked at Rosalyn in confusion as she met his gaze. "Did she wake up on her own? Just like that?"She hadn't asked that on the phone earlier."Yes," Peter answered simply.Rosalyn paused for a second. "Who was the first to notice she was awake?""The nurse. I was there too. We'd just finished the routine checkup and were chatting when she suddenly noticed Laura's eyes were open." Peter's gaze was focused on Rosalyn. "Is something wrong?""What were you talking about?" Rosalyn asked.Peter's expression darkened when he heard that. "The nurse mentioned what happened to Mr. Hammond—"He stopped and realized it at the same time Rosalyn did. "So it was Mr. Hammond's situation that triggered her to wake up."Rosalyn gave a soft hum of agreement. "He's the real key."Peter didn't know about the complicated history between the three of them, but he knew Rosalyn was now Eric's wife. He chose not to comment.Rosalyn

"Don't panic. I'll find that ring for you. Maybe Eric has it," Rosalyn said while trying her best to calm Laura down.But Laura only grew more frantic. Her already pale face went ghost-white, and her eyes were full of fear and unease.Rosalyn sensed something was wrong. "Laura, is there something special about that ring?"Laura didn't even blink, and Rosalyn's heart clenched. "Laura, you have to tell me so I know how to help you."But Laura said nothing. She only cried.After lying there for so many years, she looked extremely fragile. Watching her break down like this was unbearable. Since she'd just woken up, Rosalyn was worried she'd get too emotional.So she hurried to reassure her. "I'll look for it, okay? I'll find it, I promise."But where was she going to look?The first person she went to was Fiona. Fiona answered, "When Laura's accident happened, nothing was touched. The police collected everything, and there were photos taken at the time. You can check with the stati

"Is this the one?"Rosalyn held out the ring to Laura and asked.Laura cupped the ring in both hands. The spark in her eyes was all the answer she needed.Rosalyn let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "If you love it that much, put it on."The moment she said it, she regretted it. Laura wasn't the same girl from seven years ago. After lying in bed for so long, she had lost so much weight. Even her muscles had atrophied. There was no way a ring from seven years ago would still fit her now."Laura, I'm sorry—" Rosalyn began to explain.But Laura closed her fingers around the ring and shook her head gently, telling Rosalyn she didn't mind.Rosalyn smiled again. "All that matters is that we've found it. Once you put some weight back on, it'll fit. Oh, and this too."Rosalyn pulled out the hair tie and placed it in Laura's hand. "This was beside the ring. It's yours, right?"Laura stared at the hair tie with a dazed expression. Rosalyn didn't notice and kept smiling. "This bear is c

A clay brick was lifted, and underneath it was a metal box wrapped in layers of plastic. Sean peeled it open bit by bit. Inside the box was a phone wrapped in a plastic bag.Rosalyn recognized it right away. It was Laura's phone."It's been so many years. It definitely won't turn on," Sean said bluntly."We need to get out of here first." Rosalyn looked around. She was still alert.Sean followed her out. "Anything else you need me to do?""Find someone reliable to unlock the phone and pull everything out of it." Rosalyn paused. "Sean, I want to be there for the whole process. It's not that I don't trust you, but I just have to answer to Laura."Sean nodded. "You don't need to explain. I get it.""Just follow me," he said. Sean drove ahead while Rosalyn tailed him, until they reached a small, almost unnoticeable cellphone repair shop tucked away in an alley.Before going in, Sean introduced it. "The shop looks tiny, but the owner's got skills, and this place is basically Eric's
