Chapter 74

Eliza woke up from the nightmare, her cold sweat soaking the pillow. She looked up and saw that it was already the next morning. The sun outside the window was very bright. She wiped her sweat, let out a sigh of relief, and lay back on the bed. She didn’t know why she had such a dream. It was clear that something similar had never happened to her before. Everything in her dream was real, as if she had really experienced it. Moreover, the fire was so big. If it was real, she must have been burned to death.

Taking a deep breath, she told herself that yesterday’s movie must have made her brain chaotic, so she had such an inexplicable dream. Eliza closed her eyes. Before she became sober, her phone rang. It was from her biological father, Luca. “You’ve run out of money again?” Eliza closed her eyes and said lazily, “Dad, don’t drink like this every day.” “Even though you used to be a special-forces soldier, you are old. If you drink like this all the time, your body will collapse sooner or later.” “You should go out and find a job.” “Eliza.” Before she could finish her words, Luca interrupted her. “I called you to say goodbye to you.” Say goodbye? Eliza suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed. “Where are you going?” “Didn’t I tell you that after I retired from the special forces, I was a bodyguard for several years?” “The employer came to me a few days ago and asked me to go back to protect her.” “I’m at the airport now. I’m in a hurry, so I won’t say goodbye to you in person.” Eliza’s hand, which was holding her phone, trembled slightly. “Dad, actually… I was just worried about you. I don’t dislike you.” “Don’t… don’t go.” “If you are short of money, I can give it to you.” “Don’t go…”

in the world. He did not take care of her in the past 18 years. However, in the five years after their reunion, Luca had taken good care of her. He taught her martial arts, fighting, and how to protect herself. If it weren’t for Luca, she wouldn’t be able to play the martial arts substitute role so well. “Good girl.” Luca, who was on the other

when he mentioned the jade pendant. “That jade pendant… I lost it.” The last time when she came out of Luca’s house, she was kidnapped by Michael’s people. She had been busy after that. When she remembered that jade pendant, she could no longer find it. She had

her lips. “Dad, do you have the photo of that jade pendant?” “I’ve been feeling bad for losing mom’s relics. I’ve posted a reward post on the Internet recently, but I didn’t see any photos. I just saw it once and I couldn’t describe it…” “There are no photos!” Luca’s voice suddenly became serious. “I’ve told you not to look for it!” “Even if there are no photos, you can’t look for it again. That’s all!” After that, he sighed. “It’s time for me to board the plane. I’m off.” “Remember, don’t look for it again!” Eliza frowned and wanted to say something else, but the only thing left on the other end of the phone was a beeping tone. She sighed in confusion. When she called again, Luca had already turned off his phone. Helplessly putting down the phone, Eliza turned on her computer. The reward post she posted earlier for finding the jade pendant had received replies from several people, and even private detectives left their contact information to ask her to find them. Eliza took a deep breath and deleted the post. She didn’t understand why her father had such an agitated reaction. That jade pendant was only her mother’s belongings.
