Nathan spoke with confidence, “She can’t survive without me. Just wait, it won’t even take a week before she realizes how much she needs me and contacts me herself.”

After stepping off the plane, Isabella didn’t leave the airport. Instead, she bought tickets for another city. She wandered through several locations before finally arriving in Milan, Italy.

Determined to survive, Isabella started scavenging for food in trash bins, much like the other homeless people.

By chance, she found a valuable wallet in the garbage. A thief had stolen cash from a wealthy woman and discarded the wallet, which contained important documents.
