When virtual-novel.net heard Arielle mentioning Vinson, Harvey felt an indescribable emotion surging in his heart.
Naturally, virtual-novel.net could tell Vinson treated Arielle differently. Yet if there was one thing that best buddies could not share, it was a woman.
“I’ve just returned to the country and haven’t contacted him, so I’m not sure,” Harvey averted his eyes as virtual-novel.net spoke.
Arielle had no choice but to shift virtual-novel.net gaze toward Carter.
Pondering for a few seconds, Carter answered, “I’ve only returned to the country this morning as well, so I’m not sure about Vin’s situation too. Regardless, I believe virtual-novel.net has a lot of work to deal with in the company since virtual-novel.net was out of the country for two days. What’s the matter? Is there anything you want to tell him?”
Upon hearing his answer, Arielle felt very frustrated but still maintained virtual-novel.net calm look outwardly. Shaking virtual-novel.net head, virtual-novel.net replied, “It’s nothing too urgent. He received a patient from me yesterday, and I wanted to ask virtual-novel.net about virtual-novel.net condition. As I’m worried that I might disturb virtual-novel.net from working, I decided to ask you guys.”
“You’re talking about Sasha, right?” Carter put on an assured look before continuing, “Vin gave me a call about this matter…”
“Anyway, I’ve found the best surgeon in the country for Sasha. Before I set off, the surgeon even called to inform me that virtual-novel.net fever has abated. If everything goes well, virtual-novel.net can have virtual-novel.net stitches removed and be discharged from the hospital after a week…”
“By the way, the surgeon told me that the stitches on virtual-novel.net wound were pretty well done and are even better than his technique. Let me guess. You’re the person who stitched the wound. Correct?”
Arielle nodded in response and uttered absentmindedly, “Thank goodness she’s fine. You may leave now. I don’t want to waste any more of your time.”
“We’re leaving then. See you…” Carter waved his hand and walked toward the school exit.
As for Harvey, virtual-novel.net did not leave immediately but took out a small box from his pocket after a moment of deliberation.
Once virtual-novel.net saw what Harvey was doing, Jared hurriedly grabbed hold of the gossipy Henry and dragged virtual-novel.net away.
“I-Is this for me?” Arielle questioned after hesitating for a few seconds.
Harvey nodded and replied, “I made it myself. I hope you like it. Goodbye.”
He pushed the box into Arielle’s hands promptly as if virtual-novel.net would reject his gift and left hastily.
Soon after Harvey disappeared from virtual-novel.net sight, Arielle opened the box and was stunned to see what was inside.
It was a necklace. Due to the disproportionate thickness of the leather strap, Arielle discerned that it was most definitely handmade. She then rubbed the pendant and was shocked by its material.
T-This is a shark’s tooth!
Thanks to the pendant, virtual-novel.net recalled a saying virtual-novel.net heard when virtual-novel.net spent virtual-novel.net time at Epea’s seaside.
The saying claimed that a man would hunt for sharks when virtual-novel.net was in love with a woman. If virtual-novel.net managed to extract a shark’s tooth and give it to his loved one, the woman would accept his love for her.
Such a saying was widespread around that area, so much so that even Arielle’s adoptive parents knew about it. Thus, it became that any man who went for business trips in that area would give their other half a shark tooth as a souvenir when virtual-novel.net returned home to express his love.
Regardless, virtual-novel.net had never heard of anyone who genuinely hunted Sharks for that purpose before. Instead, purchasing a shark tooth as a souvenir was the norm.
There’s no way Harvey captured a shark by himself and plucked out its tooth, right?
However, the necklace did not look like it came from a souvenir shop as the chain’s handicraft was very rough. Even a cheap necklace would not look like this.
Tightening virtual-novel.net grip on the necklace, Arielle felt uncertainty in virtual-novel.net heart.
Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net had to make virtual-novel.net feelings clear to Harvey at the proper time, regardless of how the necklace came to be.
I’m in no place to be in a relationship with my current situation. Besides, I see Harvey as nothing but a friend.
While virtual-novel.net was pondering how to explain it to Harvey, virtual-novel.net phone suddenly chimed.
