Chapter 397: Kidnapping (1)
Stella smiled, seeing Rose so eager to ask about her. This girl is still the same as before.
"Rose, sorry if I didn’t tell you. But my parents suddenly moved, and I didn’t have a chance to say goodbye to you." Stella felt sorry because her parents suddenly moved to another country, and at that moment, her life changed.
"It’s okay, Stella. What’s important now is you’re safe and healthy...."
"Thank you."
Rose couldn’t hide her joy at seeing Stella’s warm and friendly smile. It was like seeing the old version of Stella she knew, different from the cold demeanor she had seen earlier.
"Stella, you knew my phone number, right!?" Rose saw Stella nod. "But, why do you never call me even once after you move?"
When Stella suddenly disappears, Rose thinks someone has kidnaped her family and killed them. Because there’s no way Stella can move without contacting her by phone or letter, right?"
"I remember your phone number. However, we moved to a remote island with a poor signal at that time. So, I can’t call you..." Stella said while she pushed her thoughts away from glancing at her sports watch. Her time is only ten minutes, she can’t stay here long, or someone will take her life.
Rose softly smiled when she saw her best friend looking guilty, "Hahaha...don’t worry, Stella, I was just wondering where you have been all this time. Now I understand why you suddenly disappeared. All this time, I thought you were swallowed by the earth."
"Well, sorry, Rose. I’ll make sure to stick with you from now on." A faint smile appeared on Stella’s face.
Rose could only reply with a smile. And then Stella continued, "Rose, it looks like you have well-settled in this town. And... you look younger and prettier than the last time we met."
