Chapter 427


    “Oh, I understand. Don‘t worry. It‘ll be fine.”


    After hanging up the phone, she worriedly stared at the enormous wooden box. She had no idea how


    the security guard brought it up. It was a struggle even to wrap her whole arms around the box.


    Alexander told her to get someone to move the box to somewhere spacious; who was she going to ask


    to do that?


    While Lily was stressing out about this, Olivia, beside her, beamed excitedly. Olivia had already eaten


    her breakfast and cleaned up before she came over. When she noticed Lily staring at the box, Olivia

    went toward her and asked, “Why haven‘t you opened it?”


    “I‘m scared this might be a prank.” Then Lily turned to look at Olivia helplessly and said,” Besides, how


    do you dismantle this thing?”


    “It should be quite easy. You‘ll need a plier and a screwdriver to open it!” Olivia seemed to be well


    versed in this.


    “Then, you do it!” Lily instantly took the opportunity to ask for Olivia‘s help.


    After rolling up her sleeves, just as Olivia was about to try to dismantle the box, she stopped and


    smiled. “My knowledge is limited to the theoretical part of this. I’ve never done this before. So, I think


    it‘s best to find a professional to do it.”


    That was not a bad idea.


    Ultimately, Lily found a professional handyman who showed up at the door with a tool bag. After


    hammering around the box, he announced, “This is an easy task!”


    In a quick second, the handyman had pried open the box. Everyone in the room held their breaths in


    anticipation. No one knew what was inside, and everyone was curious yet, scared.


    However, after removing the box, everyone eximed, “Wow!”


    It was not a prank or a joke. It was a well–made wooden sculpture of a crane with its wings


    outstretched. The crane was standing on one foot while contracting the other as if it was preparing to


    fly.


    The sculpture retained the wood‘s original color.


    The lines and carving on the sculpture were precise, giving the crane a dynamic appearance. Everyone


    could tell that this workmanship was top notch at the very first nce.


    “Wow, what is this?!” Jenny, who had some business to deal with, appeared. She was taken aback by


    therge wooden sculpture that greeted her.


    “Jen!” Olivia trotted to Jenny and eximed,” Someone gave this to Lily as a gift! Isn‘t it beautiful?”


    “A gift?” Jenny asked in surprise as she circled the crane twice. “This is an extraordinary gift!”


    Then, she suddenly thought of the trick Nathaniel had pulled by using balloons to confess and


    guessed, “Did that Hall guy send this?”


    Lily was startled by her directness and shook her head.


    Although initially stunned to see the crane, she quickly returned to her senses. She knew who had sent


    this to her the moment sheid her eyes on it. It did not matter that the sender did not leave a name or


    a message.


    This wood, this craftsmanship; other than the young man, no one else would know how to do any of


    these.


    ‘He didn‘t go missing after all! Maybe he didn‘t leave the country and is still living around here.


    Otherwise, how did he get someone to send this to me?


    Although Lily mentioned she wanted a meaningful sculpture for her grandfather‘s birthday, she had no


    idea what it would look like. She could think of all sorts of creative ways to produce a fragrance, but her


    mind went nk regarding sculptures.


    Lily just had a rough image of how she wanted it. Aside from that, she had no idea what to order or


    what it would look like.


    Her initial n was to slowly discuss how she wanted it as the young man went along with the carving,


    but she did not expect the young man to quit so soon.


    However, after a few days, hepleted her sculpture, which he beautifullypleted. She was


    surprised that he took her request so seriously.
