"She hasn’t been here," Daniel Green said, grabbing his hair forcefully, feeling extremely agitated inside.
He really hoped Bella Green had run into some trouble and would come to find him.
But no, she didn’t even give him a call.
Mason Bennett didn’t speak upon hearing this, staying silent for a moment before suddenly turning around and striding away.
Daniel was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly closed the door and chased after him.
"Where are you going to look for her now? I’ll go with you," Daniel said anxiously.
Mason still didn’t speak because he didn’t have a specific target in mind either.
Suddenly, Daniel stopped in his tracks, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.
"Could she have gone to Hyattville City?"
This successfully stopped Mason in his tracks.
The man turned his head, looking at the young man’s serious face.
"I really can’t think of where else she would have gone. She might have gone to Hyattville City, after all, apart from Brocade City, it’s the only other place where she has lived."
Mason furrowed his brow, pursing his lips tightly.
"I understand."
The man said, leaving at an even faster pace.
Daniel chased after him, but was only left eating car exhaust.
...
In the dark and dilapidated old house.
The walls were covered with spider webs, and old furniture was piled with thick dust.
The floor was cement, the white paint on the walls peeling, and mold growing in the corners.
On the bed that hadn’t seen a resident in who knows how long, a slender figure lay still.
The house had been vacant for many years, with no water or electricity.
Even though Hyattville City is quite far south, the temperature was still very low in the depths of winter.
The doors and windows were wide open, with no air conditioning; the room was as cold as an ice cellar.
But the person on the bed didn’t feel a thing.
After an unknown amount of time, the figure finally moved slightly.
Bella Green opened her dry and sore eyes, staring blankly at the dim room for a while.
Then she got up, not caring about the dust on her body, and walked to the table next to her.
On the table were the steamed buns she brought from the roadside when she came.
By now they were cold and hard.
Bella Green sat on the chair, hugging the cold and hard buns, gnawing on two before putting down the bag.
After eating the buns, Bella Green just didn’t feel hungry anymore, but her stomach felt extremely uncomfortable.
An indescribable discomfort.
The Green Family’s old house was in the countryside, with a large yard right outside the door.
As Bella stepped out, she was greeted by a courtyard full of withered grass.
If it weren’t for the season, the grass in the yard would have likely swallowed a person whole.
Bella stumbled out to the edge of the yard, looking at the two houses closely connected to the Green Family’s.
One belonged to Xylia Xandrell’s family.
And the other one...
Looking at that house, Bella felt a stinging pain in her eyes.
In the past, she and Xylia would always run to that yard, as the backyards of several houses were connected.
At that time, this house was also empty, and the two little girls loved to sneak over and play, treating it as their secret base.
But later, suddenly someone moved into that house.
But ever since the move-in, it seemed like no one ever came out, and they began to think that no one had actually moved in at all.
Xylia and Bella still enjoyed playing there.
Later on, they discovered that indeed, someone was living in that house...
And then, Xylia started going to that yard more often.
Until one day, she came to Bella with a flushed face, shyly admitting that she seemed to have fallen for someone...
Bella, looking at the empty and overgrown yard that was just like hers, couldn’t help herself and walked in...
