You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1148

Pascaylia.

Joyce sat on the couch and thought for a long, long time.

In her hand she was peeling oranges for Anderson. It was a new type of oranges with tender, watery flesh. She needed to knead the orange until it was soft, and then peeled it.

She rubbed the orange unconsciously, and all the things happened in the past kept playing back in her mind.

Anderson’s words were logical enough.

It just gave her a good reminder.

She should start with the most unrelated people and events and find the necessary connection, and the rest would be solved.

So, when the Heath family came to look for their daughter, Ms. Armstrong mentioned that the Heath family was looking for a token, a silver pendant.

Because it was so long ago, neither she nor Ms. Armstrong remembered it at the time.

Everyone thought they could do a DNA test anyway, so it didn’t matter if there was a token or not.

After many years, Ms. Armstrong suddenly found the pendant she wore back then.

And she came all the way to the Capital to give it to Luther as a souvenir.

Ms. Armstrong died soon afterwards.

The cause of death was unknown.

What could have killed Ms. Armstrong, she wondered.

Who did it to Ms. Armstrong and what did they want to cover up?

Cecelia clearly recognized the pendant around her neck and was so eager to find its owner.

Luther insisted that she wear the pendant at the risk of being discovered by herself.

And he deliberately asked her to go to Capital Opera so that Cecelia would see her wearing the pendant.

Could it be that the token Cecelia was looking for back then was exactly the silver pendant that she wore around her neck?
