Whitty was genuinely grateful for the love that Jens' mother had shown her. However, she did not want to express her happiness in front of Savannah. She was afraid that Savannah would assume that she was mocking her and feel even more upset instead.
Whitty held Savannah's hand genuinely and said, "Savannah, both of us are alike. We left our hometowns and came to Imperial Capital. We don't have any relatives by our sides. That's why I understand your hardships. You can treat me as your sister and best friend if you want to. You can try putting your trust in me and sharing your worries with me. I can genuinely resolve all your worries together with you." Savannah shook her head. There was a look of devastation on her face.
"It's useless. You can't help me. Don't mention you, I’m afraid that no one in Tourmaline Estate can help me.”
There seemed to be other implications behind her words.
It was unclear if Savannah had developed such desperate thoughts because the enemy she was facing was way too powerful or because she could not resolve the worries in her heart.
Baby Robbie assumed that she was facing a powerful opponent. "Savannah Jones, there are many hidden talents in Tourmaline Estate. Trust us and tell us what you encountered. I guarantee that we'll help you to the best of our abilities."
Perhaps Whitty and Baby Robbie were being way too genuine. Savannah's isolated heart gradually warmed up. She slowly said, "Since that's the case. I'll tell you everything."
Savannah recalled the terrifying incident that happened that day. There was a dazed gaze in her eyes.
"The night we went out, I tripped over a rock when I passed by Fence Court. When I looked down, there was a beautiful note in a bottle in front of me. The bottle shocked me. I could not resist my curiosity, so I opened the bottle.
"There was a note inside the bottle. The note said that if I walked 500 meters ahead and walked 999 steps to the left, my wish would come true.
"I was really curious. I thought that I couldn't even predict my own future. I didn't expect there to be someone who could control my fate so accurately.
"Perhaps my occupational sensitivity made me follow the instructions of the note and walk in the directions outlined in it. I walked into Jens' territory and somehow got together with him. You guys saw what happened after that."
