Chapter 922 Changes In All These Years
Crystal's POV:
I sat down on the sofa with Harry and Joanna. We talked about what had happened in the past few years until the topic finally came back to Arron.
"Our car broke down on the way and we called someone to repair it. We got bored while we waited, so we decided to take a walk in the roadside woods. That was when we saw a little boy being chased by two robbers. He fell down the hill by accident before Joanna and I could rush over and help him. Fortunately, the hill wasn't very high and there were only leaves on the ground where he landed. Otherwise, he might not have..." Harry trailed off and heaved a sigh of relief. I could tell that recalling what happened that time still terrified him.
"I saved the little boy because I felt bad for him. If I knew he was your son, I would've killed those robbers." He added as he furrowed his eyebrows. Just listening to his narration frightened me. If Arron hadn't met Harry and Joanna, he would've died.
"Thank you so much. Thanks to you two, Arron managed to survive," I said as I stood up and solemnly thanked them.
Joanna tried to make me sit back down in my seat. "Hey, don't say that. Harry will get mad. Even though we haven't seen or talked to each other in years, we're still friends, aren't we?"
Then, she winked at me, hinting for me to look at Harry. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Harry was glaring at me as he pouted. "You really don't treat us as your friends. Friends don't thank each other like that."
I burst into laughter upon noticing that Harry really was upset. "After I noticed that Arron was missing, I became so anxious, and I felt like my whole world was about to collapse. If it weren't for
you and Joanna, I might not be able to sit here and talk to you guys like this."
"By the way..." I worriedly added. "Have you guys seen a little girl? She's the same age as Arron and looks similar to him. Her face is chubbier, though." "Wait... You have another child?" Harry's eyes widened in surprise.
I nodded. "I gave birth to twins—a boy and a girl. Arron is my son, and Beryl is his younger sister." "We hadn't seen any girl there. They probably got separated," Joanna said. This time, there was a hint of seriousness in her tone.
My heart began to race, and I instantly became anxious again upon hearing that. I had a glimmer of hope that Beryl and Arron were together, but it turned out that I was wrong. Now, Beryl was still missing, and she might be in danger as well.
"Don't worry; your daughter was probably saved by someone else. If that's the case, maybe they'll contact you soon," Joanna added, comforting me. She then immediately made a call to summon her men to look for Beryl near the woods.
"Thank you," I gratefully said as I held Joanna's
hand.
"Don't mention it. It's no big deal." Joanna smiled.
"If you really want to thank us, maybe just let us get more involved in your kids' lives in the future," Harry chimed in. "Joanna happens to like kids very much."
Joanna cast a reproachful glance at Harry. However, she didn't stop him.
I chuckled and nodded. "No problem. But we need to find Beryl first."
A hint of joy flashed in Joanna's eyes. She then calmly asked, "How did you manage to live on the border all these years?"
"Laura actually did me a favor when I left."
I took a deep breath and briefly told them what had happened to me in the past few years— including how I became the Alpha of the pack on the border.
Harry's eyes lit up. He was very happy to hear that. "I didn't expect that the person who targeted you at first would end up helping you the most. What a surprise! I thought Laura was a cruel, heartless person. I guess we all misunderstood her."
