The Heiress's Return: From Zen to Zenith-Chapter 1408

Chapter 1408: 652 Truth_6 Chapter 1408: 652 Truth_6 “Yes, Clover, I have seen the silver lock.

Miss Parker herself stuffed it into the baby’s swaddling.

As long as we find that silver lock engraved with ‘Clover’, we can find the child.”

Gabriella Linggo really felt regretful, only such a child was worthy of such outstanding parents.

Why wasn’t she?

The young lady slightly lowered her head, and there was something churning in the darkness of her eyes.

Gabriella Linggo narrowed her eyes, “Actually, just relying on the silver lock cannot confirm the identity of the child.

After all, the silver lock can be lost and picked up by others, but the mark on the body cannot be erased.”

Aubree Groove took the silver lock from her hand, put it back into the sachet, and quietly said, “You should tell your uncle these secrets yourself.

...

It’s late; go rest.”

Having said that, she turned around and left.

Gabriella Linggo stared at the young girl’s retreating figure, her gut telling her that something was wrong.

–

Aubree Groove kept watch by Peter Aria’s bedside, quietly looking at the man’s sleeping face.

In his dreams, he was still restless.

Yet, Aubree Groove did not put a stop to the spreading nightmare.

She knew that for Peter Aria, even if it was a nightmare, as long as he could see that person, he was willing.

Aubree Groove fondled the silver lock in her hand, her eyes drifting away, lost in thoughts.

After a long while, she fell asleep at Peter Aria’s bedside.

Peter Aria suddenly opened his eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling for a long while before snapping back to reality.

He let out a long sigh.

The day was bright, but his heart felt like it had sunk into a dark abyss, soaked in ancient ice.

After searching for so long, it all ended with nothing.

Fanny, how desperate were you then?

In the next life, I must find you, and we shall never be apart again.

I wanted to follow you, but I couldn’t leave our daughter alone in this world.

I want to find her, tell her about her origins, let her know that she has a great mother.

Once I’ve settled everything, I’ll come find you.

I won’t let you wait too long.

Peter Aria reined in his grief, his body refilled with strength and hope, he was finally able to get a grip on himself.

Turning his head, he noticed a girl lying by the bed.

She looked very tired, deeply asleep.

Her thick eyelashes, like a small fan, blocked the sunlight that poured in.

Her jet-black hair, like satin, fell by her temples, setting off her small face.

Peter Aria revealed a smile.

How nice it would be if Aubree Groove was their daughter, his and Fanny’s.

This thought surprised him.

It wasn’t fair to his sister.

Aubree Groove was his niece, he should not have such selfish thoughts.

The young girl’s eyelash quivered slightly, finally waking up.

She raised her head, saw Peter Aria staring at her, and got up naturally: “Uncle, you’re finally awake.

Are you still feeling unwell?”

Peter Aria, feeling guilty for his selfish thoughts, acted a little unnatural, “I’m fine, you’re such a good child.”

Peter Aria got out of bed: “I’m planning to take Gabriella back to Pethkids today.

Would you like to come back with us?”

Aubree Groove shook her head: “I’m afraid I can’t.

I still have important things to do on the island.

But Uncle, you don’t have to worry about me.

I have my own judgment.

Finding my cousin is more important.

However, I’m afraid I can’t help much.”

She handed the silver lock to Peter Aria: “You dropped this when you fainted last night.

Keep it.

Don’t lose it again.”

Peter Aria took it, kept it close to him, and seeing Aubree’s determination, he didn’t try to persuade her further.

Loretta, learning that Aubree wouldn’t leave, also decided to stay.

Peter Aria was determined to return to Pethkids to find his daughter, which was the current priority.

Also, Gabriella’s illness could not be delayed.

But Loretta wanted to stay and use the power of these pirates to search for Nikita Parker on nearby islands.

Even though the hope was faint, she still wanted to give it a try.

Of course, Aubree Groove wouldn’t refuse her.

After breakfast that morning, Peter Aria and Aubree Groove bade goodbye by the seaside.

Peter Aria then set off on the boat back to Pethkids with Gabriella.

Gabriella stood on the deck, watching the people on the beach gradually grow smaller.

“Your body can’t take the wind right now.

Come inside with me,” Peter Aria told her.

“Mr.

Aria’s niece is really outstanding.

I wonder what her mother was like.”

Peter Aria’s eyes tinged with sorrow as he looked at Aubree Groove’s shrinking figure and sighed, “My sister, she really had a tough life.”

“The journey is long, why don’t you tell me a story to pass the time?” Gabriella looked extremely interested.

Peter Aria held great gratitude in his heart for Gabriella.

Being a man of loyalty, he naturally wouldn’t refuse her request.

Moreover, his sister’s life was full of ups and downs, almost unknown to anyone, and Gabriella here was an excellent confidant.

Only she, who had suffered so much, might empathize with his sister’s life.

As expected, after hearing Peter Aria’s story, Gabriella felt deep sympathy for the woman she had never met.

“Fate seems to be particularly harsh on outstanding women.

Their beauty tends to come with a short life, a true reflection of their lives,” Gabriella commented.

Changing the subject, she asked, “You mentioned that Aubree Groove is a nun.

She belongs to the Silent Moon Temple on Whitehead Mountain, doesn’t she?”

Peter Aria nodded, “Yes, my niece also had a hard life.

I owe too much to her and her mother.

She should have had a normal childhood.”

If it weren’t for growing up in a Buddhist Nunnery, where she absorbed the philosophy of detachments, he really feared this girl would become a nun someday.

Even Peter Aria, a man who had never believed in superstitions, couldn’t help but wonder if their Aria family had bad Feng Sui, host to many girls with unfortunate lives.

Gabriella’s eyes flickered, mumbling, “How could such a coincidence happen in this world?”

Peter Aria did not hear clearly, “What did you say?”

Gabriella Linggo looked at Peter Aria.

Seeing that he seemed to have never doubted it, not only did she think men’s nerves were really thick, but she also decided to go to Four Seasons Town and find Aunt Dewey.

She would definitely learn about the child’s whereabouts from her.
