Chapter 16 An Acquaintance âMiss Harriet, wait. Did you drop this needle?â someone suddenly called out.
âNeedle?â
Harriet narrowed her eyes and turned around, only to see a familiar figure.
âIt's her.â
Harrietâs eyelashes fluttered.
Sure enough, the track of her life had altered. She hadnât expected to encounter Molly Haynes now.
Molly had been kind to her in her previous life, but those people had caused Molly to meet a tragic end.
Harriet trotted up to her and asked in confusion while blinking.
âMiss, are you a nurse? Are you going to give me an injection? Can you please be gentle? Iâm afraid of needles.â
She frowned and tugged at Mollyâs clothes with a pitiful look.
Delbert noticed a change in Molly's expression.
Narrowing his eyes, he walked over and pulled Harriet away. âCome with me!â
âMiss, | will come to you for injections later.â
Harriet looked back and waved cheerfully at Molly.
In this lifetime, she needed a friend to help her get things done.

But he only wanted Harriet by his side.
Harriet had no idea what Delbert had done.
How did he make Milton change his attitude so dramati Once they were in the lounge, Delbert locked the door.
Harriet was bewildered when she saw his shimmering eyes a smile.
âGuess what Iâm going to do to you now.â
Delbert leaned over and chuckled. His seductive voice captivated he â| donât know. What are you going to do?â
Harriet shook her head and innocently looked at him.
âYvonne, you donât have to act silly before me,â Delbert silently grumbled to himself.
The silver needle she held and her subtle interaction with Molly had aroused his suspicion.
Asly smile played on his lips.
âLet me try to find your treasure. Where is it?â
Before Harriet could comprehend the implication of his words, Delbert moved swiftly.
But then astonishment crept onto his face.
It didnât feel right.
