Chapter 873

Jonah nodded. “Alright.”

He took Hailey to Arlo’s residence, but the front door was locked. There was no one home.

Hailey knocked on the gate. “Hello? Is anyone home?”

A neighbor stepped out from next door. “Are you two looking for Arlo?”

Hailey nodded. “Yes, we are. Do you know where he went?”

The neighbor replied, “He’s already moved. He left Barombya.”

“What?” Hailey panicked and asked, “Do you know where he moved to?”

“I heard he made a lot of money and said he’s not coming back.”

Made a lot of money?

“You’re here to buy the snow lotus, right? It’s already been sold. Someone offered a huge sum to buy it, and Arlo took the windfall and moved away.”

Hailey felt her heart sink. The snow lotus had already been sold-they were too late.

They had thought their timing was perfect, that they’d arrived just as the rare flower bloomed. However, someone else beat them to it.

How could there be such a coincidence?

Hailey grew suspicious. Who exactly had bought the snow lotus?

Jonah asked the neighbor, “Do you know if there are any other snow lotuses for sale nearby?”

The neighbor shook his head. “They’re incredibly rare and only bloom once every 50 years. None of the mountains around here have them. Arlo was just lucky to find that one.”

In other words, there were no more.

The snow lotus only bloomed once every 50 years. If they missed this one, who knew how long they’d have to wait for another?

Jonah didn’t have that kind of time.

He held Hailey’s hand. “Why is your hand so cold?”

She whispered, “Jonah, we were just one step too late.”

He replied, it’s fate. Maybe I’m just not destined to get my face hea don’t mind it. Do you? Conte

Hailey wrapped her arms around him tightly. “Of course I don’t.”

Jonah pressed a soft kiss to her hair. “Then let’s forget it. Let’s go home.”

Hailey nodded. “Alright.”

They returned to their room and decided to stay one more night before

Jonah went to shower first.

Hailey sat alone, feeling her heart sink. She really wanted Jonah to be able to heal his face.

He used to be so handsome. Now, he had to wear a mask for the rest of his life.

Though he never said it aloud, Hailey knew he minded—he just didn’t show it.

Who exactly bought that snow lotus?

Just then, her phone rang. The screen lit up with an unfamiliar number.

Hailey answered, “Hello, who’s this?”

A soft, slightly smug voice responded, “Ms. Hailey, it’s been a while.”

Hailey immediately recognized the voice—it was Joanne.

They
