Joshua knew who she was talking about without further elaboration needed. He shook his head and replied, “No.”

“Can you get in touch with him?"

“I can try, but if Sheffield doesn't want to be found, no one can get in touch with him."

Joshua was speaking the truth. However, Evelyn's heart ached, and there was a pit in her stomach because she was so nervous. ‘That's true. Once he disappears, even I can't get in touch with him, ‘ she thought bitterly.

At half past six, a servant came in to report, "Evelyn, there's a lady waiting outside for you. She says she's an old friend of yours and she's here to celebrate your birthday."

"A lady? My friend? Could it be...?' Evelyn was taken by curiosity.

“Where is she now?" she asked immediately.

“At the doorway."

‘At the doorway?' Evelyn was more convinced of her assumption as she ran to the door and opened it.

The person standing outside was exactly the same person Evelyn had in mind.

The woman was dressed in a light green coat, a beryl hat and a white scarf. She was sitting in a wheelchair with a smile on her face. With a smile that could warm any heart, she reached out one hand to give

Evelyn a neatly wrapped package and said, “Happy Birthday!"

The familiar voice drew out Evelyn's smile as she knelt down and hugged the girl sitting in the wheelchair.

“Savannah...” she sighed heavily, seemingly relieved. Evelyn had missed her very much.

Savannah patted Evelyn on the back as her eyes shimmered brightly against the light.

“It's been a while and I must say, I've missed you a lot!" she said.

A gust of cold wind blew over as Evelyn let go of her. She stood up, taking a deep breath, walked behind her and pushed her wheelchair forward.

"Come on in. Let's talk inside."

Savannah turned her head around to look over her shoulder and said,

“Evelyn, you've become more beautiful than I had expected. I've seen your photos, but you look even more stunning in person."

Evelyn smiled, cheeks blushing pink, and said, "You Look amazing too!

When did you get back? You should have told me before, I would have gone to pick you up!"

“But then I wouldn't get to see that look on your face! Don't worry, your father sent someone to pick me up at the airport. He wanted to give you a surprise! So, are you surprised to see me, Evelyn?"

“Of course, I am! I'm having a hard time believing it, to tell you the truth." It had been almost two years since the last time Evelyn and

Savannah saw each other.
