NovelOnlineThe door easily opened when Maria turned the doorknob. Her heart skipped a beat in excitement, but it dropped to her stomach
upon entering the room. There was no one in there without a soul in sight.
Confused, she walked around the room to ensure there were no secret rooms before tapping away on her phone. She sent a text to
someone. “I'm here. Where are you?”
The other end replied promptly, “There's a bag on the table. Open it.”
Maria was speechless. She looked around, and sure enough, she saw a black bag on the table in the corner. She walked over and
opened it to find a sealed bag in it. Two tiny bottles were in the sealed bag, and Maria was unsure what they were. Just as she was
about to open them, her phone buzzed.
After placing down the bag, she picked up her phone and saw a text. “Don’t open the bottles in the bag. Bring it hforand
keep it well. Don’t let anyone know about this.”

Maria looked at the things in the bag suspiciously. Fortunately, she did not open the bottles, but she was still curious about what it
was.
While debating whether to give in to her curiosity or obey the other person’s words, she received another text. “Stop being curious
about it, and don’t touch my things!”
This one sentence made Maria emotional. Back then, that was what Rhea used to say to her impatiently. Every time, Rhea was
impatient and cold toward Maria, but her voice was something Maria could never hear anymore.
Tears flooded her eyes instantly, and she suppressed her curiosity. Once again, she picked up her phone and asked, “Ree, is it
you?”
The person on the other end usually replied fast, but not this time.
Maria was anxious and sent another text. “You're still alive, aren't you? Could you cand meet me?”
A moment later, she sent another text. “Please!”
Her tears trickled down her cheeks uncontrollably the moment she typed this word. Pitter-patter was the sound of her tears falling
on her phone's screen. The tiny device seemed to be her last hope, and she stared at it unblinkingly.
Ever since Rhea passed away, Maria felt that her world had collapsed. At one point, she did not want to live anymore. Rhea’s face
would fill her mind, from when she was still an adorable little girl until her cold, hostile expression when she had grown up.
No matter how Rhea treated her mother, Rhea was still her baby daughter.
Maria would take Rhea’s clothes and hug them in her embrace before putting them back carefully, afraid her daughter would be
mad when she chand saw that her room was in a mess.

Fabian kept telling Maria that she should let the past go and that they would live a good life ahead of them even if their daughter
were no longer around. But how could Maria get over it? She was no longer happy without her daughter, so how could she have a
good life in the future?
However, a text pulled her out of the abyss of darkness last night.
The familiar tone and the secrets that only Maria and Rhea shared made Maria strongly believe that the text sender was her
daughter. She was sure that Rhea was not dead and that she had returned.
The texter told Maria that she could only fake her death for sreason and that she was safe now but could not appear
anywhere. Also, she said she needed Maria to help her do something, and once it was settled, she could return home.
Maria trusted every word the sender said. That was because she was sure that the sender of the texts was Rhea. Hence, no matter
what the sender said, she would believe those words.
After speculating that her daughter was still alive, Maria felt better and calmer.
