Time was seemly frozen at Vanessa's final funeral, it seemed that because of this freeze, the Ingford was bathed in gloom.
It rained continuously for half a month.
Chester would watch over the place where Alina fell into the water every day, as he did back then when Alina fell off the Hasnan River.
Soon, another month had passed.
"Sir." Ronan came behind Chester.
The salvage work continued, yet now that it had gone on for over a month, it was clearly no longer necessary to continue.
Chester was covered in water and looked woodenly at Ronan, "Is there any news of her?"
Now every time Ronan came to him, his first thought was if there news of Alina.
Ronan looked at him with eyes that were so grave at the moment.
And then, he handed an object to Chester.
In the gloomy drizzle, the object seemed to shine itself, and not as brightly as it would have in the sunlight.
Yet even if it was dull, Chester still recognised it at a glance, it was the necklace he had given to Alina back then.
He now had his heart choking even harder.
In this month, he had lived a muddled life. it was as if he had selective amnesia, he couldn't remember the words that Vanessa had said to him before she died, and the words that Edison had said to him.
The only thing he could still remember was the difficult years between him and Alina.
Trembling, he stretched out his hand. What did he say at that time? It was too cheap, he would give her something better.
Yet at the time, like a child, she loved the angel pendant on the silver chain and said she liked it.
It cost several husbands at the time, but she valued it a lot.
Trembling, she grabbed the thing in her hand, which still had silt on it, so it was evident how hard the salvage work had really been during this time.
Such a thing dropped in the river is undoubtedly a complete needle in a haystack, however now this thing is found, yet there is not the slightest sign of Alina.
She, probably, could not be found.
"Where was it found?" The moment Chester opened his mouth, his lips could not stop trembling.
Ronan, "In the river a hundred kilometres away."
The search had been intensifying and expanding in distance all this time, yet it was found that far away.
In this way, does this mean that they can no longer find Alina?
"Sir, stop it."
Finally, Ronan uttered. It was obvious that Alina was utterly impossible to find.
If they continued, what else would there be but pain?
In Ronan's opinion, there would be no result.
It had been over a month.
Chester was not only searching along the river, but even the people on both sides of the river were in search, how much did he hope that someone would save Alina?
However, she was completely untraceable.
"Perhaps, she has washed into the sea." Three hundred kilometres away from the Hasnan River was the connected sea, and according to the present view, it was entirely possible.
At those words, Chester looked fiercely towards Ronan.
It had been less than an hour since Alina had fallen into the river, and they were searching urgently.
Then again, this river current wasn't too rough, so how could she have just rushed into the sea?
However, the search had been expanded to all the places, why was there no news yet?
