    Chapter 180,Coolest Girl in Town


    Elise had already formed a guess from the look on Cynthia’s face. She gripped her sleeve tightly and


    mumbled, “So, you have news about Mika?” Cynthia gazed at her and nodded. Without warning,


    Elise’s legs gave away, and she stumbled. Neither were her tears controble, as she could clearly feel


    tears gliding down her cheeks. “That’s… That’s impossible! Nothing’s going to happen to her! How


    could she have…” Cynthia tried her best to calm her down. “We are not a hundred percent sure right


    now. It’s just that… the rescue team has found a body with descriptions that resemble her.”


    The shocking news shattered Elise’s world, and she refused to ept the reality. Jack showed up out


    of the blue and grabbed Cynthia’s arm, descending into madness as he barked at her, “Is that true?


    Where is she now? Tell me! Where is she?” Jack’s reckless reaction put a frown on Cynthia’s forehead.


    She knew the guy, but she had not expected him to act in such a rash manner. Based on his anxious


    reaction, she had a vague idea of his rtionship with Mika. Therefore, she decided to forgive his


    rudeness and shared all the details with him.


    “The body is ced at the rescue station. No one hase forward to im it.” She barely finished


    speaking when Jack dashed out of the hospital. Elise followed suit with tears brimming in her eyes.


    When Mika’s parents got the news, they almost fainted from crying. Finally, the group rushed to the


    temporary mortuary at the rescue station. Elise was shaking from head to toe when sheid eyes on


    the white cloth that was draped over the body.


    “Mika…” Elise couldn’t help but mumble her friend’s name, and tears kept falling down her face.


    Meanwhile, Mika’s parents were out of breath from crying, and the atmosphere sank to the lowest


    point. In an attempt to keep Elise calm, Alexander stood firmrly and held her hand in silence.She


    stumbled forward and flipped the cloth open to reveal a body that was almost unidentifiable. However,


    because the size of the victim was simr to Mika’s frame, she once again plunged into sadness.


    The people around didn’t seem too positive either Yet, Jack was the only one who reacted differently.


    Looking like a lifeless walking corpse when he arrived, he suddenly perked up after seeing the body,


    and his eyes shone. “That’s not Mika!” Without a doubt, his curt deration changed the air around


    them. Meanwhile, Elise watched on through her misty eyes as Jack exined with all seriousness,


    “That is not her! She wore a different outfit on that day.


    She’s also wearing a fishbone ne, which is not seen anywhere on this body!” Elise’s gaze


    traveled over to the body and confirmed that there was no fishbone ne, which rendered her


    speechless. “W-What is going on?” Again, Jack dered with confidence, “You got the wrong person!


    This body is not Mika’s! Trust me!” Then, he turned around to leave. The rest of the group was


    utterly confused by Jack’s words.


    Soon, Mika’s parents regained theirposure. Staring at the body, they seemed to prefer Jack’s


    narrative, even if it was only for emotional relief. “That’s not Mika. It’s not her,” Mrs. Jameson


    muttered repeatedly, but her husband remained rational. “Since we can’t identify her, the best way


    forward is to send the body for a postmortem exam.” So, Mr. Jameson contacted a localb for a


    postmortem exam. The results were out in less than 24 hours and delivered to them.

    Everyone held their breath as he took out the document. When they saw that the body did not even


    have a 1% match with Mika’s DNA, they let out a collective sigh of relief. “I knew it! It was not


    Mika. It’s definitely not her…” Mrs. Jameson burst into tears agitatedly. Since the body was not


    Mika, there was hope that she could still be alive. Elise’s heart slowly calmed down as well. Mika,


    you must still be alive. Am I right?


    “Found her! They found her!” Jack’s joyful screams cut through the pensive atmosphere. Elise was the


    first to get a grip of herself and hurried over to him. “Did they find Mika?” Jack nodded in happiness.


    “The embassy sent me the news. They said that Mika had contacted them. She was there to get her


    ID and passport reissued, probably for the flight home.” The sudden news swept Elise off her feet. “Is


    that true? Where is she now?”


    Jack added, “She went to the embassy two days ago. I guess she’s already back to Cittadel now. Once


    we’re back, we will definitely get a hold of her!” “But if she’s safe, why did she not contact us?” She


    vocalized her question, and silence descended. That was indeed a mystery, for it did not align with


    Mika’s usual behavior. “But the embassy clearly told me that the ID information was correct. It was


    Mika.” In the face of Jack’s confirmation, Elise also believed that the embassy visitor was Mika.


    “Let’s head home then,” Alexander chimed in, and she agreed with him. Mika’s parents were


    overjoyed to learn that their daughter had taken the flight home. They proceeded to book the closest


    flight avable and went home with Elise and the others. After a ten-hour-long flight, the nended


    at Athesea’s airport. The group exited the arrivals and immediately rushed to Mika’s home.


    However, they were shocked to find the house empty—Mika did note home. Looking


    disappointed, Jack mumbled, “How is this possible? What is going on?”


    Eliseforted him, saying, “Don’t worry. If it’s really Mika, she wille home sooner orter.”


    “But where is she now?” His words prompted everyone to fall into deep thoughts. Elise and Alexander


    left Mika’s ce and went home together. In the car, she couldn’t help but ask, “What do you think?


    Since she’s already back in Cittadel, why is she noting home?” Before this, Alexander had


    observed the way Elise worried about Mika’s disappearance.


    He could tell how important Mika was to her, and he silently gave her moral support along the way.


    “Don’t worry. Who knows? Maybe she is under some difficult circumstances.” Elise looked confused but


    could note up with a usible exnation. “Alright now. Stop overthinking. At least we have proof


    that she’s well and alive. The other mysteries will be unraveled once she gets home. You shouldn’t lose


    your hair over it.”


    Staring out of the window moodily, Elise once again prayed that Mika coulde home soon. When


    they reached home, she immediately got ready to attend school due to the time difference. She had


    spent a lot of time in Switzend following the ident and took leaves of absence for it.


    Since she delivered satisfactory results in her previous exams, the teachers did notment on her


    absence. “The final exam is tomorrow. Use your time wisely for revision.” The homeroom teacher was


    speaking to the ss, but her eyes were clearly on Elise. “If you have any questions, feel free to drop


    by my office for rification.”
