Upon hearing Hannah Ford mention the citrine necklace, Ethan Wilson on the other end of the phone also fell silent.
Every time the necklace was mentioned, he would be like this.
He felt it was his redemption, but for some reason, he was reluctant to face it.
Hannah continued to sob.
"Grandma is so old now. When she last came to see me, she asked me if I remembered that necklace. I knew it was her dowry when she was young, so I coaxed her and said that the necklace was kept in a safe in Eastonia and wasn't brought back."
"Ethan... I don't want to disappoint my grandma... Am I useless? My health is not good, I can't be filial to her, and I even lost her favorite dowry. It's all my fault. Why did I show off that necklace to the other children in the orphanage when I was young? If it weren't for that, it wouldn't have been stolen..."
The more Hannah spoke, the sadder she became, and the more tears she shed.
