A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 405
When he heard Arielle mentioning Vinson, Harvey felt an indescribable emotion surging in his heart.
Naturally, he could tell Vinson treated Arielle differently. Yet if there was one thing that best buddies could not share, it was a woman.
“I’ve just returned to the country and haven’t contacted him, so I’m not sure.” Harvey averted his eyes as he spoke.
Arielle had no choice but to shift her gaze toward Carter.
Pondering for a few seconds, Carter answered, “I’ve only returned to the country this morning as well, so I’m not sure about Vin’s situation too. Regardless, I believe he has a lot of work to deal with in the company since he was out of the country for two days. What’s the matter? Is there anything you want to tell him?”
Upon hearing his answer, Arielle felt very frustrated but still maintained her calm look outwardly. Shaking her head, she replied, “It’s nothing too urgent. He received a patient from me yesterday, and I wanted to ask him about her condition. As I’m worried that I might disturb him from working, I decided to ask you guys.”
“You’re talking about Sasha, right?” Carter put on an assured look before continuing, “Vin gave me a call about this matter. Anyway, I’ve found the best surgeon in the country for Sasha. Before I set off, the surgeon even called to inform me that her fever has abated. If everything goes well, she can have her stitches removed
and be discharged from the hospital after a week. By the way, the surgeon told me that the stitches on her wound were pretty well done and are even better than his technique. Let me guess. You’re the person who stitched the wound. Correct?”
Arielle nodded in response and uttered absentmindedly, “Thank goodness she’s fine. You may leave now. I don’t want to waste any more of your time.”
“We’re leaving then. See you.” Carter waved his hand and walked toward the school exit.
As for Harvey, he did not leave immediately but took out a small box from his pocket after a moment of deliberation.
Once he saw what Harvey was doing, Jared hurriedly grabbed hold of the gossipy Henry and dragged him away.
“I-Is this for me?” Arielle questioned after hesitating for a few seconds.
Harvey nodded and replied, “I made it myself. I hope you like it. Goodbye.”
He pushed the box into Arielle’s hands promptly as if she would reject his gift and left hastily.
Soon after Harvey disappeared from her sight, Arielle opened the box and was stunned to see what was inside.
It was a necklace. Due to the disproportionate thickness
of the leather strap, Arielle discerned that it was most definitely handmade. She then rubbed the pendant and was shocked by its material. T-This is a shark’s tooth!
Thanks to the pendant, she recalled a saying she heard when she spent her time at Epea’s seaside.
The saying claimed that a man would hunt for sharks when he was in love with a woman. If he managed to extract a shark’s tooth and give it to his loved one, the woman would accept his love for her.
Such a saying was widespread around that area, so much so that even Arielle’s adoptive parents knew about it. Thus, it became that any man who went for business trips in that area would give their other half a shark tooth as a souvenir when he returned home to express his love.
Regardless, she had never heard of anyone who genuinely hunted Sharks for that purpose before. Instead, purchasing a shark tooth as a souvenir was the norm. There’s no way Harvey captured a shark by himself and plucked out its tooth, right?
However, the necklace did not look like it came from a souvenir shop as the chain’s handicraft was very rough. Even a cheap necklace would not look like this.
Tightening her grip on the necklace, Arielle felt uncertainty in her heart.
Nonetheless, she knew she had to make her feelings clear to Harvey at the proper time, regardless of how the
necklace came to be. I’m in no place to be in a relationship with my current situation. Besides, I see Harvey as nothing but a friend.
While she was pondering how to explain it to Harvey, her phone suddenly chimed.
