âYikes, that house might collapse? Thatâs pretty dangerous. Lucky our house wasnât picked for the trial stay.â Greta said, feeling a little terrified.
Thalassa just smiled and didnât say anything. The house Lysander had built was sure to be top-notch.
Thalassa only said it was for trial stay and might be risky, so others wouldnât be green-eyed. This way, the villagers would feel more at ease.
She would figure out a way to repay Lysander for the villa, Chatting and walking, Thalassa and Greta arrived at Gretaâs house. Greta pulled out a cloud-shaped emerald pendant from a drawer and handed it to Thalassa.
The string of the emerald pendant was just the right length to hang around the neck.
The emerald pendant was green all over, bright and shiny. The gem was surrounded by a circle of diamonds carved into dragons, with dirt stuck in the carved gaps, obviously irremovable.
âWhen I dug it out, it was all muddy. I washed it a bit, but the dirt in the lines needs special tools to clean.â Greta explained.
Holding the emerald pendant, Thalassa stared at the bright green gem. She felt excited, burdened, nervous, expectant, and a bit panicked. Various emotions entangled her, making her breath a bit ragged.
She discarded the emerald pendant after just a glance five years ago, and she never found it again.
She distinctly remembered that around that cloud-shaped emerald, there was indeed a carving of a dancing dragon. This was the emerald pendant she tossed away five years ago.
Five years ago, she was devastated, wanting to find the emerald pendant to settle scores with that man. But she couldnât find it no matter what.
Even after five years, she still remembered how humiliated and desperate she was when she lost her virginity. How much she wanted to find that man, to vent all her grievances and fury, to make him pay.
But five years had passed, and now she had adorable children. She had gone through so many hardships in these five years. Every time she was in a rough spot, it was the children who gave her hope and strength, healing her wounded heart time and again.
Now she felt that these four children were the best gifts God had given her. She didnât hate that man anymore. She wanted to find him, not just for herself but so that her children could find their biological father and experience a fatherâs love as well.
Looking at the emerald pendant, Thalassaâs eyes welled up with tears. She felt a mixture of emotions in her heart, both sour and tense, a blend of resentment and anticipation, along with a fear of the unknown.
If she found the childrenâs father, and he was already married, had a family, and had other children.
What would happen to her children?
At this thought, Thalassa unconsciously tightened her grip on the emerald pendant, and tears fell.
âWhatâs wrong? Is there something wrong with this emerald pendant?â Seeing Thalassa cry, Greta hurriedly asked.
Thalassa quickly shook her head: âNo, itâs just⦠finding it after five years, itâs just too hard.â
âGreta, I really appreciate you helping me find the emerald pendant. Hereâs 300 for you, as my token of gratitude.â Thalassa said, pulling out her phone and transferring her 300 dollars.
Greta was overjoyed: âNo problem, just doing my part.â
âMom, here you are.â At this moment, her four children came hand in hand to find her.
