The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 116

The following day.

Amber woke up at 7:00 in the morning.

She recalled the events that took place last night for a few minutes, then she went to the bathroom afterward.

Ivy’s situation was the last thing she was thinking last night and the first thing she remembered this morning.

She was planning to visit Ivy’s brother after her one-week vacation in the capital with Lady Helen, but she was afraid that Ivy’s brother might not be able to survive and died waiting for her help.

She will help Ivy’s brother tonight so that she will be over it.

She won’t be able to have peace of mind unless all these things will be over and behind her.

Last night before she fall asleep, she already made up her mind to help Ivy’s brother disregarding the tiny voice warning her to be vigilant all the time.

She believed in Ivy’s sincerity. Her heart told her that her friend can be trusted, so, her decision last night was based on what her heart dictated to her, she will follow her heart.

She left the room and went downstairs to join her aunt and Lady Helen in the dining room.

Her morning has just started, following the two women around the house and the plantation like a third wheel.

Hours passed by like a blur.

Afternoon comes.

The women were relaxing inside the picnic hut, gazing at the plantation, enjoying the cool afternoon breeze.

Lady Helen and Cornelia began discussing their plan. Helen plans to buy the adjacent property to expand her property and build an Olive Oil Plantation in the years to come.

Amber wasn’t listening to the older women’s discussion, she was busy gazing at the plants nearby, whose branches were swaying gently, serenaded by the wind.

The women finished their discussion at 3:30 in the afternoon and went back to the mansion because Lady Helen would like to take a nap.

A few minutes later.

The women were back in the mansion. They climbed the stairs and retired to their respective rooms.

Amber lies in her bed, staring at the window.

Then her eyelids fluttered, she began yawning. She was about to shut her eyes to sleep when she heard the familiar chirping of the bird.

Her friend is here!

She sits upright, and there on the window sill is no other than Ivy.

“Come here!” Amber said.

Ivy flew to the bed. “Hi Amber,” she said.

“You’re early? Are you eager to know about my decision?” Amber inquired.

“Yeah!” Ivy replied. “Please, help my brother!” she begged.

“Okay, I’ll help your brother,” Amber said with a smile.

“OMG! Are you sure!?” Ivy can’t contain her happiness.

“Yes!” Amber repeated.

“Thank you so much! I’m so happy right now!” Ivy jumped up and down on the bed, feeling ecstatic.

Amber smiled in amusement.

Finally, Ivy stopped jumping up and down on the bed and looked at her friend. “What time I’ll fetch you tonight?” she inquired.

“At 8 or 9 in the evening when everyone was already retiring to their room to sleep for the night,” Amber replied.

“Okay, thank you! I feel better now. I’m going back to my place an inform my brother about the good news! I’m sure that he will be happy after learning that you finally agreed in curing him!” Ivy said joyously.

“See you tonight!” Amber said.

“See you!” Ivy replied energetically and flew towards the window and fly away.

Amber watched the bird fly towards the direction of the dense forest in the south.

“That must be where Ivy and her brother reside,” she murmured.

Now that she finally decided to help Ivy’s brother her mind was finally at peace, she was no longer confused with her decision. The only thing left for her to do is wait for the bird’s return tonight so that she can cure Ivy’s ailing brother and then focus on her trip to the capital with Lady Helen.

Amber’s eyes shut down and she fell into a deep sleep.

In her sleep, she dreams of the same stranger that she was trying to save when the boat capsized in the ocean.

They keep calling her Sabrina.

After two hours of sleep, Amber woke up.

She noticed that the room was already plunged in darkness, the evening finally arrives.

She left the bed and turned on the light. She went to the dresser table and brushed her hair in front of the mirror and quickly placed her black wig on her head.

A few minutes later, she was ready to leave the room and go downstairs.

She found Lady Helen reading a magazine in the living room together with her aunt.

She went to her aunt’s side and sat on the couch.

Cornelia looked at her charge. “Did you sleep well?” she asked.

“Yes, Aunt,” Amber replied with a smile.

“Good!” Cornelia said and resumed reading the magazine on her lap.

Amber picked up a magazine and flipped through the pages with curiosity flashing in her eyes.

Helen glanced at Amber, liking her stunning beauty.

Fifteen minutes later.

The servant came to the living room. “My lady, dinner is ready!” she announced.

Helen nods her head at the servant, then she addressed her companions. “Let’s eat dinner!” she said and rose to her feet.

Cornelia and Amber followed Helen to the dining room.

The women ate dinner with a good appetite.

After they finished eating, they returned to the living room and have lively chitchat.

Amber fixed her attention to the magazines, liking the colorful pages, showing beautiful women in dresses and delicious photos of different cuisines as well as grand houses and mansions. The magazines are vastly different from the old books that she was reading in her room. The pages of the magazines come alive because of the colorful photos.

Helen looked at Amber. “Do you like reading the magazines, dear?” she asked.

“Yes, my lady! It’s colorful and very interesting!” Amber replied.

“Don’t you know that the first magazines for women were only published last year? We’re currently reading the old issues. In my house at the capital, I have plenty of latest issues of women magazines there. I’ll give them to you so that you can read them in your room during your free time,” Helen said.

“Thank you, my lady, for being so kind and generous to me,” Amber said.

Helen smiled. “Don’t mention it!”

After they finished chitchatting, the women climbed the stairs and retired to their rooms at 8:00 in the evening.

When Amber entered her room, Ivy was already waiting for her at the window sill. She went to the window. “How long have you been here?” she asked.

“Just a while ago,” Ivy replied. “Just tell me if you’re ready to go, no need to rush.”

“Okay, let me wear my jacket first. Are we going to ride on the magic carpet?” Amber asked.

“No. The sky is dark, it looks like its going to rain heavily tonight….” Ivy answered.

“So, how we can go to your place if we don’t ride the magic carpet?” Amber asked.

“We can go to my place using teleportation,” Ivy replied.

Amber’s brows knitted together. “What is teleportation?” she asked curiously.

“It’s traveling in the speed of light from one point to another,” replied Ivy.

“Wow! Is that even possible?” Amber was already imagining in her mind what it’s like traveling using teleportation. Beings with power and magic like Ivy, have a lot of tricks on their hats. Her little friend never fails to amaze her.

“If you’re ready, we can go to my place in just a matter of minutes,” Ivy spoke.

“Alright, let me tie my hair first. Is it okay if I don’t wear my wig? I’ll just tie my white hair in a ponytail,” Amber said.

“No problem,” Ivy responded.

Amber wore her jacket over her shoulder and tied her hair in a ponytail, she’s done. “I’m ready!” she said.

“Okay… let’s go!” Ivy said and landed on Amber’s shoulder.

“Wait…! Tell me what to do first! It’s my first time doing teleportation, I don’t know what to do!” Amber said worriedly.

“No need to do anything except to close your eyes and never opened them until I say so. Don’t worry, nothing bad will happen to you. It will only take a few minutes and we already arrived to my place before you knew it,” Ivy assured her.

“But I’m scared!” Amber said.

“No need to feel afraid. I’ll take care of you. I’ll ensure your safety when you’re with me,” Ivy said in a soothing voice.

“Okay, I believe you!” Amber said, breathing deeply.

“Just relax and don’t think negatively. You will be fine. You will experience a gentle burst of wind hitting your body but that’s completely normal, no need to be alarmed. Okay?” Ivy said.

“Got it! Take me to your place now! Let’s go!” Amber ordered, eager to finish their business tonight so that she can leave all this behind her.

“Okay, close your eyes tightly and never open them until I say so,” Ivy said.

“Got it!” Amber replied.

“Alright, here we go!” Ivy spoke.

Suddenly, they vanished from the room.

Amber felt the gentle wind brushing her face, her hands, and her feet. She feels like she was floating in the air, but she dared not open her eyes, afraid of what she’s going to see when she open them.

A moment later, her feet landed on something hard and solid. “Where are we?” she asked.

“We finally arrived at my place! Open your eyes!” Ivy ordered.

Amber eagerly opened her eyes. She was greeted with the sight of the giant trunk of a tree surrounded by towering trees. She roamed her eyes around the surrounding area, they’re in the middle of the forest!

Ivy was floating in the air in front of Amber. “Welcome to my home!” she said.

Amber’s brows knitted together. “Where is your home? I can’t see any house here?”

“This big trunk of the tree is our home. Unlike humans, we don’t live in a house or mansion, we live in trees or caves,” Ivy responded.

Amber stared at the trunk of the tree. “Really-?”

“Yeah! I’m going to open the door now,” Ivy said and waved her hand at the trunk of the tree.

A door suddenly appeared on the surface of the trunk, it opened instantly.

Amber’s mouth widened in surprise.

“Let’s get inside!” Ivy said.

“Okay….” Amber murmured, she moved her feet forward.
