Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1574

Chapter 1574 Withered

The housemaid felt bad for not doing her job well, but Vivian fell into deep thought while staring long and hard at the ribbon.

As she continued to rack her brain, she noticed a faint scent of sandalwood on the ribbon.

Sandalwood? Could this be…

Suddenly, Vivian felt a sharp pain in her chest as all sorts of emotions surged uncontrollably through her mind.

She then grabbed the housemaid by the wrist and asked, “What about the flower? Where is it?”

“Flower? Uh… W-We threw it in the trash outside, Ms. Vivian!”

Vivian got so agitated that she leapt to her feet and ran straight outside in her pajamas with her hair unkempt.

I knew it! It was my birthday yesterday! There’s no way he wouldn’t come!

With tears running down her face, Vivian made a mad dash for the town’s dumpster and began rummaging through the trash.

Fortunately for her, the waste collectors had yet to arrive, as it was still very early in the morning, so she was able to find the withered flowers.

In fact, they weren’t even flowers.

They were actually vines growing just outside Aquene Temple’s entrance, which was the only place one would ever find the plants.

As the vines were constantly exposed to the smoke from the temple’s incense burning, they had a distinct scent of sandalwood on them.

Clutching the vines tightly against her chest, Vivian fell to the ground and broke down in tears.

Nobody knew how disappointed she was when she saw that it was Karl who had saved her last night.

She wasn’t expecting for him to not show up at all, especially at a critical moment like that.

He really did keep his promise of never showing himself in front of her ever again.

The housemaid panicked when she came running over and saw Vivian bawling her eyes out on the ground.

“I’m sorry for throwing it away, Ms. Vivian! It’s all our fault! Will you please stop crying?” she apologized profusely.

“I-I’m not crying… T-These are tears of joy! Now, I need you all to help me bring these vines back to life! Otherwise, I’ll tell Daddy to fire you all!” she stammered while sobbing.

For a moment there, Vivian seemed to have returned to her spoilt, unreasonable self when she was a kid. All she wanted was to save those withered vines.

B-But these vines are already withered… How on earth are we going to save them?

The housemaid thought to herself with a conflicted look on her face.
