Chapter: 698
Ariana pondered as she cleaned up the room. While tidying the bed, she noticed that the corner of the calendar on Theodore’s
bedside table had been flipped.
This change had slipped her notice previously, so she picked up the calendar out of curiosity, flipping it back to find the 10th of
the following month circled.
Ariana frowned at the circled date, puzzled.
Was this a particularly important day?
She mentally reviewed all the dates that had a connection to both of them, but none of them stood out as significant. She then
focused on the dates that were relevant to her alone, but still couldn’t find anything noteworthy.
Maybe there was something crucial scheduled for that day.
As Ariana was about to return the calendar, she couldn’t help but wonder what made the 10th of the following month so
important.
Before she could set the calendar back, a business card slipped from between the pages.
Ariana bent to retrieve it and gave it a quick look.
It was a standard business card, pristine white with a straightforward linear design, and at its center were the words — “Eternal
Hope.”
It sounded like a shop’s name, but there were no other details that might suggest its purpose.
Finding the business card hidden in the calendar seemed peculiar to Ariana, particularly since Theodore rarely kept other
people’s cards.
Turning the card over, Ariana found a phone number at the back.
Interestingly, it was an old-style Landline number.
In this day and age, everyone used cell phones, landlines were a rarity, not to mention people who provided Landline numbers.
Ariana held the card in her hand and glanced at the calendar on the bedside table, sensing a possible link between the two.
After a moment’s hesitation, she decided to dial the number.
She had expected it to be out of service, but to her surprise, the call connected.
Ariana instantly felt a surge of anxiety, waiting for someone to answer.
However, after an extended wait, all she heard was the electronic hum of the ongoing call.
Ariana sighed, figuring that the shop was Likely closed at this hour.
She ended the call, deciding to try again the following day during business hours.
Just as she was about to set her phone aside, a message from Holden appeared on the screen.
“Where did you get this from?”
Upon seeing the message from Holden, Ariana couldn’t help but feel a twinge of guilt, glancing around her surroundings almost
instinctively.
