At this moment, a tiny figure was rubbing virtual-novel.net sleepy eyes. She was wearing a cute pair of pink pajamas and standing at the bedroom door.
“Daddy…”
Mila called out and walked in wearing big pink slippers.
Philip smiled, bent over, and picked Mila up. He hopped virtual-novel.net nose and asked, “Why are you awake?”
Mila hid in Philip’s arms in fear and said, “I had a nightmare. I dreamed that Mom left me and went far away.”
While saying that, Mila looked at the sleeping Wynn on the bed and wanted to call out to her.
Philip immediately put a finger to his mouth in a shushing gesture and said, “Mom is asleep. Let me play with you for a while.”
Mila nodded, looking very cute with virtual-novel.net hair slightly disheveled.
The father and daughter sat in the living room to play at this moment. While playing, Philip noticed a small object hanging from Mila’s neck. It was a small green bottle carved with patterns and there was a red string on both ends. The bottle was about the size of a little finger.
Philip frowned. He did not buy this for his daughter.
‘Was it given by Wynn?’
“Mila, who gave you the thing on your neck?” Philip put Mila on his knee and looked at the small object on virtual-novel.net neck very carefully.
It seemed to be a container with very complicated lines and patterns on it.
Mila held the object in virtual-novel.net chubby little hands and said happily, “Dad, this is from Aunt.”
Aunt? Hannah Clarke?
With a frown, Philip suddenly thought of the letter that Hannah handed to virtual-novel.net before virtual-novel.net left the hospital in Uppercreek last time. The letter mentioned that Hannah had left something for Mila.
Was it the small object in front of him?
Philip smiled and said, “Mila, can you show it to me?”
“Okay,” Mila agreed obediently. She took off the small object from virtual-novel.net neck and put it in Philip’s hand.
Philip took the small green bottle and looked at it carefully several times under the light. Apart from some complicated patterns on it, nothing seemed peculiar.
He tried to twist it and break it apart, only to find that the material of this thing was very hard. It was similar to jade but not quite like it, or perhaps something metal. After looking at it for a while, Philip still could not figure out what it was. He could only hand it back to Mila glumly. He stroked virtual-novel.net head and said, “Aunt Hannah gave it to you, so keep it well and don’t lose it.”
Mila nodded, revealing two dimples. She said, “Okay, Dad, I know.”
After spending a little more time with Mila, Philip sent virtual-novel.net back to virtual-novel.net room and put virtual-novel.net to sleep. Before virtual-novel.net left the room, Philip’s eyes fell on the object on Mila’s neck again.
What exactly did Hannah mean by this?
***
Early the next morning. Outside Philip’s residence, a group of servants and a butler had arrived.
The butler said to the butler of the residence, “Butler Little, I’m here on Third Old Master’s order to pick up the young master and young madam to visit the grand elder.”
Butler Little nodded and said, “Please wait for a moment. I’ll go in and inform them.”
Soon, Butler Little came to the hall and looked at Philip who was having breakfast at the dining table. He said, “Young Master Philip, someone from Third Old Master’s side has come to pick you and Young Madam to the grand elder’s place.”
Philip was startled. He almost forgot about it and responded, “Okay, I’ll go over later. Please tell them to wait for a while.”
At the dining table, Wynn, who was eating, trembled slightly. She asked, “Phil, what grand elder? Who are you taking me to see?”
Philip smiled and said, “He’s just an elder of the family. You can bring Mila to have a change of clothes first. I’ll take you there later.”
“Which elder?” Wynn asked.
Philip replied, “My great great grandfather.”
“Huh?”
