Waylen hit a young girl. It was freezing outside, but the girl was only wearing thin cotton clothes. Her long hair covered most of her face.
Waylen helped the girl up.
The girl muttered, “I’m so sorry. | wasn’t paying attention to where | was going.”
After saying that, she raised her head.

It was Mavis. ©
At this time, she looked very pitiful. Waylen’s car hit her squarely in the gut, but somehow, she wasn’t seriously injured. She only sustained a few scratches on her arms from when she attempted to break her fall.
Rena wasn’t a mean person, but she couldn’t help but chuckled at the sight. “Aren’t you the lucky one, Miss Lynch? Thank heavens you didn’t get majorly hurt.”
Mavis shivered.
She bit her lip. “I’m sorry to inconvenience you, Mrs. Fowler. | should’ve watched where | was going.”
Rena didn’t have time to deal with Mavis. She was running late for the party. She said to Waylen in a low voice, “She’s fine. Let’s go. I’m going to be late.”
But Waylen didn’t move.
He stared at the specially shaped turquoise pendant hanging from Mavis’ neck. He had seen that same pendant before on Elvira.
Elvira said that she had a sister. @

At the sight of the pendant, Waylen thought of Elvira.
Rena turned to look at him. She saw a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, which was then replaced by disgust.
This kind of feeling was very complicated.
At this time, a young girl showed up and helped Mavis to safety.
The snow hadn’t stopped falling. It just drifted down and down, as if it would go on forever.
Waylen turned around and said to Rena gently, “You take the company limo. | have something to deal with at the law office.” ©
Standing in the snow, Rena put on a faint smile.
