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.”

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…”
