Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1047

Arnold dismissed him. "So what? A milk seller can act all arrogant now? You'd better tone it down, got that?"

"Don’t be unreasonable, Arnold. Let’s go." Nick said sternly as he cast a faint glance at Hazelyn. It was just a fleeting look, but it was enough to make Hazelyn guess what he meant. The cold aura emanating from him was intimidating.

In the end, Hazelyn didn't dare pick a fight.

Arnold remained silent and followed Nick, who walked confidently toward the exit.

Then, we each boarded two luxurious cars. Under their watchful eyes, we left with heads held high.

On the way back, I kept thinking about Beatrice's final gesture. Was she anxious for me to leave? But her vacant gaze and dull expression made me uncertain. Was she really sick? The way she looked at me sent shivers down my spine. It was not a gaze a normal person would give anyone.

Our group returned to the hotel we had stayed at last night, and I went back to my room.

Arnold immediately asked, "Did you see her, Chlo? Was the person in there your classmate?"

"Yes, it's her. She's been locked up, and she’s almost unrecognizable." I felt very distressed.

"I can't be sure... but something feels off," I replied.

Arnold pressed, "What's off about it?"

"Wait, let me think." I shook my head. "It's not right... She understood my coded message. If she’s not in her right mind, would she be able to do that?"

I turned to face everyone and continued, "When I saw her, she kept her head down the entire time. She was motionless, like she was asleep. Her long hair covered her face, and I couldn't tell if it was really Beatrice. But I said a coded message we used to say back then to try and confirm that it was her."

Arnold immediately asked, "What coded message did you say? Why didn't I notice?"
