The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 145
One week later.
One sunny afternoon.
Sabrina was brushing her hair in front of the mirror, ready to go out again to find Rhett and Leera around the town.
While brushing her black wig hair, she was thinking about one thing…
There are many people, establishments and houses in the town, it would be impossible to check everyone…
Was she wasting her time in the town looking for two people who seemed to disappear from the face of the earth without a trace?
The truth is she needs someone’s help badly!
She can’t do it alone!
Finding Rhett is impossible if she only relies on herself. Sooner or later her money will run out and she won’t be able to work – at the same time find her beloved Rhett.
She can only focus on one thing to get a satisfying result.
She glanced at the window wondering about Ivy’s whereabouts… but she become so reliant on Ivy, it’s no longer healthy knowing that the bird also had a life of her own to enjoy and spend her time as she pleases.
It’s a good thing that Ivy abandoned her or else she will suffocate the bird and make her a slave to do her bidding.
She’s still sad about it, Ivy abandoning her.
Her only hope is that Ivy is doing well right now, safe and happy living in the forest with her brother. She still longed for Ivy’s visits and company, but she was gone too soon, now she’s alone on her own.
She put the comb down and rose to her feet. She will go out today to find Rhett and Leera again, hopefully, she can find them today even if the possibility is not promising.
She grabbed her sling bag and headed to the door and hold the doorknob…
When she opened the door…
She was greeted with a bright smile from two women standing in the doorway… Lady Helen and Aunt Cornelia.
“Aunt, My Lady!” Sabrina said with a smile.
“My dear, long time no see!” Lady Helen said.
Sabrina smiled brightly. “It’s nice to see you again, my lady! Please come inside…” she said and opened the door wide.
The visitors entered the room and settled on the chairs.
Lady Helen noticed that Sabrina was dressed up, she asked, “Are you going somewhere?”
“Yes, my lady,” Sabrina answered.
“Where are you going? We can bring you to your destination. We brought the carriage, it’s more convenient to run errands if you have a personal vehicle to bring you anywhere…” Lady Helen offered.
Sabrina scratched her head. he doesn’t want to drag Lady Helen to her aimless searching of Rhett and Leera. “Um… no need, my lady. Thank you for the offer, it’s a personal problem of mine. I don’t want to involved you anymore,” she refused her offer politely.
“Nanny told me that you are looking for your beloved in your past life here in the town. Your search is much more easier if you have a photo of him so that we can post it anywhere and just give rewards to anyone who can find them. Do you have his photo with you, my dear? Let me help you, I have many resources at my disposal…” Lady Helen stated.
Sabrina released a deep sigh. “I don’t have his photo…” she replied sadly.
The women fell silent for a moment.
Lady Helen pondered about Sabrina’s situation. “You didn’t have a chance to bring his photo with you? No problem. I can accompany you to go back to your old place and retrieve his photo…” she suggested.
Sabrina shook her head. “There’s simply no photo of him in my position, my lady. When I met him inside the cave and fall in love with each other, we didn’t’ go anywhere. We stayed in that cave and we have no access to a tripod camera, so there’s no photo of him…” she explained.
“Ah, I see…” Lady Helen spoke. She paced the floor back and forth, then an idea suddenly popped up in her mind. “Hmm, how about… if I will bring my friend here from the capital who is a good artist, he can paint anyone’s face accurately as long you can describe to him your beloved facial features clearly. What do you think?”
“That’s a brilliant idea!” Cornelia gushes.
Sabrina took a deep breath. She knows Lady Helen well, she won’t stop unless she agrees. “Okay, my lady! I accepted your offer, thank you very much for helping me with my problem,” she said gratefully.
“Great! Now that’s finally settled, I’ll come back here next week. And upon my return, I’ll bring my artist friend to sketch your lover’s face. Then we will post his face in the newspaper so that many people can see his photo, who knows one of them has the information that can lead us to your beloved’s whereabouts,” Lady Helen said animatedly.
“Thank you once again, my lady!” Sabrina said appreciatively. She doesn’t believe that an artist can draw Rhett’s facial features perfectly, but it’s worth a try. Besides, she can’t refuse Lady Helen’s offer it would be rude to do so.
Cornelia looked at Sabrina. “Are your condition okay in this inn, dear?” she asked.
Sabrina nodded her head and responded, “Yes, Aunt. This inn is clean, safe and the food is delicious. My stay here is good, thank you for asking.”
“Good, I’m greatly relieved,” Cornelia said.
Lady Helen stood up. “Girls, let’s go downstairs to the restaurant to eat some snack…” she said and walked towards the door.
Sabrina and Cornelia followed Lady Helen outside, into the restaurant.
The women entered the restaurant and Lady Helen ordered their snack.
After they finished eating and chatting in the restaurant, Lady Helen and Cornelia bod goodbye to Sabrina.
“You take care of yourself, dear,” Lady Helen said.
“You too, my lady. Take care as well, Aunt!” Sabrina told the women.
“Bye… see you next week!” Lady Helen said.
The women boarded the carriage and waved goodbye to Sabrina, the carriage was moving further away from the inn.
When she can no longer see the carriage, Sabrina went back inside the inn, going back to her room to the 3rd floor.
Inside the room.
Sabrina began pacing back and forth on the floor, should she continue searching for Leera and Rhett around the town or just take a day off today? She glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, it was already 4:00 in the afternoon, she doesn’t want to go out anymore!
She went to bed, lie down, and closed her eyes for a moment.
“Where are you, Rhett? Where can I find you?” she asked the question aloud.
The thick silence of the room is the only thing that she can hear.
“I miss you so much! Why we are living our separate ways? Why? Why this is happening to us?” she continues lamenting alone in her room.
Fresh tears sprang from her eyes. She missed Rhett so much! She’s desperate to find him and be reunited with him. Once she finds him, she never wants to be separated from him ever again, she will stick to his side like a glue!
She bit her lip, trying to stop the tears from falling on her face.
She already cried a lot during these past few days due to the frustration that she can’t find him. She blamed herself for being so stupid, for sending him back to that shameless woman’s side.
Now she’s going crazy trying to find him everywhere!
After thinking about Rhett the whole afternoon, Sabrina had fallen asleep deeply on the bed.
Evening comes, Sabrina is still sleeping.
The darkness already enveloped the entire room.
Suddenly, somebody switched on the light and the room was flooded with light.
Yet no one is inside the room, only Sabrina can be seen sleeping on the bed.
One hour later.
Sabrina’s eyelids fluttered. She had finally awakened, then she glanced at the window. Oh…it’s already dark outside! She had fallen asleep thinking about Rhett.
Her brows knitted together after noticing the light, she remembered clearly that when she drifted into slumber earlier, there was still daylight, she didn’t turn on the light.
Who switched on the light?
Who else?
C-could it be the guardian of the medallion?
The more she think about it the more she was convinced that the guardian was the one who turned on the light.
It doesn’t matter, the guardian is an aloof weird type of guy.
She got up from the bed, went to the bathroom, and after she exited, she went to the dresser table and comb her hair.
Afterward, she went downstairs to eat dinner.
When she entered the restaurant, it wasn’t crowded during that time. She went to the vacant table and ordered her meal.
A few minutes later, her food was delivered to her table by the waiter and she began eating.
After eating, she was about to get up and leave the restaurant but she saw a guy coming towards her table in a fluid manner, as if his feet didn’t touch the ground at all, she shakes her head, maybe her mind was just imagining things. Wait a minute, he looks familiar!
Then she finally recognized him when he stopped at her table. He was the guy in that strange establishment filled with scary people! Why he’s here?
He looked at her and smiled. “Hello, sweetie… nice to see you here! May I join you on your table?” he asked politely.
Sabrina was speechless for a moment.
Gustav didn’t wait for her answer, he lowered himself on the vacant chair and stared at Sabrina adoringly for a long time.
Sabrina’s brows knitted together. “It’s you…” she finally said.
“Great! You finally recognized me! I’m glad that you didn’t forget my face,” Gustav grinned happily.
“Why are you here? How did you know that I’m staying here?” she asked.
“I have my ways. Don’t be alarmed, I’m not a bad guy,” he replied with a wink.
Sabrina released a deep sigh and looked at him warily.. “What do you want from me?” she asked him directly.
