Chapter 1616

Hannah couldn’t shake the feeling of unease until she had proof that Skyler was safe and sound. “I just need to know that Skyler is still alive and kicking. As long as she’s okay, and even if she doesn’t want to recognize us, I can rest easy.”

After a moment of thought, Cornelia suggested, “You’re shooting a movie in their town, stirring up quite the buzz. If the person you saw really is Skyler, and if she wants to reconnect with us, we’ll leave a secret sign. She’ll come to you. Otherwise, we’ll just discreetly confirm it’s her without causing any trouble.”

“Okay, I’ll follow your lead,” Hannah agreed.

Before they even had a chance to devise their secret sign, Hannah and Cornelia had just returned to their hotel when a little boy approached them. “Ma’am, this is for you” he said, handing over a letter.

Hannah took the letter from the boy. “Hey, kiddo, did Skye send you with this?”

The boy’s eyes widened in surprise. “I didn’t say anything. How did you guess?”

With a smile, Hannah playfully pinched his cheek. “Because I’m a goddess, I know these things.”e2

His eyes grew even more astonished. “You really are! Everyone in the village said you were as beautiful as a goddess. It’s true then.”

Flattered by the comparison to a goddess, Hannah beamed with joy and pinched the little boy’s rosy cheeks again. “You’re a long way from home, little man. How are you getting back?”

He pointed to a nearby young woman who was watching him. “My sister’s waiting over there. Bye!” With a smile and a wave, the boy scampered off.

Hannah tore open the envelope and began reading the letter. Her hands shook with excitement. “Nelly, look, it’s really…”.

She glanced around cautiously before whispering, “Nelly, it’s really Skyler. She’s not dead; she’s alive and well.”

Cornelia read the letter and was equally thrilled. “Hannah, that’s incredible…”

“Skyler wants to meet us. Let’s go now,” said Hannah.

Cornelia replied, “Let’s get our stuff from your room first, then we’ll sneak out.”

“Sure.” Hannah quickly checked the address on a map app. “Nelly, the farm Skyler mentioned is about a mile away. We can walk there.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Then we’ll walk,” Cornelia decided.

To avoid drawing attention, Hannah and Cornelia disguised themselves and slipped out of the hotel, opting to walk to their rendezvous. The journey took about forty minutes due to the darkness and rough terrain. All around were fields, shrouded in blackness, except for a single lamp glowing at the farm’s entrance.

Approaching the lamp, they saw someone standing by the fence, smiling warmly at them.

Seeing the person they had longed for, Hannah and Cornelia hesitated, afraid that it might be another dream. Skyler walked towards them and took their hands. “What’s the matter? Scared because someone you thought was dead is suddenly in front of you?”

Her hands were warm, alive. In that moment, Hannah and Cornelia finally believed that the woman standing before them was truly Skyler. They hugged her tightly, asking in unison, “Skyler, is it really

you?”

Skyler hugged them back. “Yes, it’s me. I’m alive, not dead…”

Letting go of Skyler, they looked at her and touched her again and again, needing to be absolutely sure. Once convinced, they embraced her tightly once more. “You’re alive, and that’s all that matters…”

Skyler simply said, “Yes, I’m alive.”

From the shadows, a man’s eyes fixed on the women under the lamp, burning with an intensity that seemed almost bloody.
