I pursed my lips, not knowing what to say.
Regardless of anything, I did not wish for Shannon to stay here.
Although she did not show it, I could sense her unease in an unfamiliar environment.
Shannon grabbed my hand and quickly said, "Listen t o me first, Wanda. Let's search all the trash bins outside of every shop. I have a feeling we'll find them."
"Why should we search the trash bins?" I was a little confused.
She mulled it over and said, "I don't know how to explain it to you. Let's just go and search for them first."
She pulled me outside after saying that.
Every time we reached the entrance of a store, we would look inside the trash bin and ask if the store had emptied out the trash.
Although I was unable to understand the reason behind her actions, I did not stop Shannon from doing so.
After countless shops, Shannon finally fished out all o f my papers from the trash. She said to me in delight,"
We actually found them.”
Jordan and I were stunned, not expecting the papers t o actually be in the trash.
Shannon handed all the papers to me. "See if anything's missing."
Later, she walked into the store and snapped at the shopkeepers. "What's wrong with you guys? Why didn't you keep the papers when you found them and wait for the customers to come back? Why did you trash something that's so important?"
The shopkeeper was a little dumbfounded as well. We had searched twice in a row, so the appearance of the papers had surprised her as well.
