Old Mr. Jarvis suddenly asked her in the video, "When are you coming back?"
Estelle was taken aback, almost believing he had found something out. Then she quickly realized he was asking when she was coming home.
"Probably during the holidays."
"Bring Jonathan back with you!" Old Mr. Jarvis instructed, "If you're shy to ask, I'll talk to him."
Estelle's heart tightened, she held back a laugh and nodded, "Okay!"

The next morning, Estelle hopped on a plane leaving J City.
The plane couldn't fly directly to Kulha Mountain. She had to get off at Silver Delta, then took a train.
When she arrived at Silver Delta, it was half past eleven in the morning and it was raining.
It was still early. Estelle found a restaurant to grab some grub.
Silver Delta was in the rain belt, so it rained most of the time. The trees were lush and the air was extra humid.
Estelle walked out of the restaurant, and saw a guy a hundred meters away bolting through the crowd. At the same time a woman in a sundress behind him was yelling, "Robbery! My bag's been stolen!"
The guy didn't look back; he was making a run for it. He hopped on a motorcycle on the side of the street, and the bike took off fast.
Estelle picked up a decoration hanging on the wall outside the restaurant. She twirled the string in her hand a couple of times and the trunk on the decoration flew out, hitting the face of the guy on the motorcycle.
With a loud "smack", the guy's head tilted sideways. Two teeth mixed with blood flew out of his mouth.
The motorcycle crashed to the ground with a bang, causing screams from bystanders.
Estelle called the cops. She paid the restaurant for the broken decoration, then walked towards the fallen robber.
Bystanders had already grabbed the two robbers. The stolen bag was in the rain. It was a limited edition luxury brand, and its contents were scattered all over the ground.
A wallet, and some makeup.
Estelle thought to herself, if only she had known this was Manley's new girlfriend. She definitely wouldn't have intervened, because Manley would buy her loads of bags anyway.
She wouldn't have wasted her energy!
Not wanting to explain, Estelle turned around and walked away.
"Estelle!" Manley called out.
"Manley, you know her?" the woman in the black dress asked in shock.
Manley watched Estelle's retreating figure, his mind whirring. He said to the woman beside him, "You go back to the hotel and wait for me!"
Without waiting for her to agree, he rushed off to catch up with Estelle.
"Manley!"
The woman was stomping her foot in frustration as Manley left her behind. She was just about to go after him, when a siren blared behind her. The cops had arrived.
