Chapter 1047
The appraiser took out the tools and then began to carefully check the ne in a calm and
rxed manner.
K watched at the side. She saw that the appraiser examined the disintegrating g from left to
right with a magnifying ss and a lightmp. He seemed to have no conclusion at all.
K sneered in her heart, thinking that the result of the appraisal would be that the price of the
ne definitely did not exceed 100 dors. By that time, she would be able to take back the
remaining money and buy the limited-edition lipstick that she preferred.
Most of the onlookers had the same idea as her. During the waiting process, they were all
discussing with each other.
"In my opinion, that ne is really worthless. I have seen the simr ones on the street stalls!"
"Yeah, it can''t be worth more than 200 dors!"
"Anthea''s friend is really stupid. He thinks himself smart and called an appraiser here. Anthea
should just have taken 1,000 dors just now! Now she would suffer a double loss!"
Listening to thements around, K confirmed what she was thinking, so she shouted
arrogantly, "Hey! Have you finished appraising? I''m hungry and want to eat something! Everyone
knows what kind of thing the ne is. It''s just a piece of trash. It isn''t worth 1,000 dors, even if
it''s not broken before!"
"Yeah, it''s not worth 1,000 dors at all."
At this time, the appraiser put down the tools and then said word by word, "This small pendant is
worth 100,000 dors!"
"What?" K asked sharply.
100,000 dors!
There was an uproar all around. Who would have thought that a small jade pendant would be so
expensive!
The appraiser patiently exined, "Although the ne has been smashed, I can still see the
color and purity of it. If you don''t believe me, you can go to the authoritative institution to get an
appraisal. This pendant is indeed worth 100,000 dors!"
K copsed to the ground.
At dusk, in the girls'' dormitory.
It was Saturday and the students didn''t need to study at night, so every room was very lively.
Alexandria''s roommates wereforting her.
"Alexandria, don''t be upset! You can take this money without any qualms!"
"Yeah! No one expected that your ne would be so valuable. K refused to apologize and
smashed it, so she shouldpensate you. You didn''t gain extra advantage or ckmail her. There
is the authoritative appraisal!"
Alexandria nodded. "Okay."
Afterforting her, Anthea climbed back to her bed.
In fact, she also didn''t know this ne was so expensive, until Leonardo informed her. She had
showed him the pictures of the ne and asked if it could be repaired before.
Anthea didn''t lie down to rest, but held her cell phone all the time.
When the number was dialed, she subconsciously reached out to touch her lower abdomen on the
right. In the afternoon, she had already asked for leave and went to the hospital.
When the line was connected, Anthea opened her mouth and swallowed back all the words she had
prepared.
Because it was not the deep, powerful male voice, but the mechanical female voice of the system.
Adam''s phone was switched off.
Anthea hung up and dialed again, but the result was still the same.
After thinking for a while, she edited a text message and sent it over.
"Uncle, I''ve taken out the stitches, and the wound has healed."
"Are you busy?"
She didn’t receive any reply until the lights went out in the dormitory that night.
Time passed very quickly. After the Labor Day, the weather gradually began to heat up.
The window was half open and the fresh air came in. There was still a long time before self-study in
the evening. Anthea stayed alone in the dormitory and was lying on the bed in a daze.
She raised her finger and tapped on the phone screen again and again. Finally, she tapped on the
name "Adam" and made a call.
She counted silently in her heart.
It had been almost a month since Adam returned to the army.
He had never contacted her in this period of time. Every time she called him, his phone was turned
off, and the text messages she had sent to him were in vain; he didn''t text her back.
Anthea didn''t want to give up and dialed his number again. There was no exception. It was still the
voice prompt. She sighed sadly and buried her face in the pillow.
Suddenly, the dormitory door was pushed open and Holly came in with a hot water bottle in her
arms. "Anthea, someone upstairs wants to see you!"

"Who is it?" Anthea couldn''t help asking.
"A man!" Holly said in an ambiguous tone deliberately.
"A man?" Anthea was stunned for a moment, and then her pupils grew slightly bigger, and her eyes
were shining.
Holly put the bottle of hot water on the table in front of the window, turned around and was about to
tell Anthea that she was just kidding with her, and the man was actually an old man, who should be
her grandfather. But there was already no trace of Anthea in the bed at all.
Anthea ran all the way down from the third floor.
When she reached the first floor, she deliberately slowed down her pace and ran out of the
dormitory after breathing gently.
After going out, she saw a ck car, the window of which was half opened. Master Hsu was giving
her a kind smile and waving to let her get on the car.
Anthea''s heartbeat suddenly slowed down as she became dispirited.
"Grandpa."
She opened the car door and got in. When she noticed Jayden sitting in the front passenger seat,
she whispered, "Uncle Jayden."
For the sake of Master''s face, Jayden only nced at her from the rearview mirror. That was his
response to her, and then he continued to make a call.
Master Hsu saw Anthea gently pursing the corners of her mouth and raised his eyebrows. "What''s
wrong, Anthea? Are you unhappy to see me?"
"No, how could it be!" Anthea shook her head against her own conscience.
She had thought that it was Adaming to see her.
She revealed a faint smile and asked, "Grandpa, why are you in the school?"
"I happened to pass by, so I came to see you! You little girl, how long haven''t youe to my house
to see me?" Master Hsu smiled and handed Anthea a bag. "This is a bag of cakes, which is to girls''
liking. Take it! You can share them with your roommates." "Thank you, grandpa!" Anthea took the
bag with both hands and said sweetly.
She put the bag on her leg and felt it was heavy. She knew that her grandfather was very concerned
about her and often bought some food for her.
Master Hsu touched her head and frowned with distress. "Anthea, you''ve lost weight. Is the food in
the school canteen not delicious?"
"No, it''s delicious!" Anthea smiled and shook her head.
Master Hsu said directly, "When youe back home. I''ll ask the chef to cook a few dishes that you
love!"
Jayden, who had just hung up the phone, was obviously impatient and urged, "Dad, I have to send
two important emails when we get home!"
"Okay." Master Hsu nodded and kindly told Anthea, "Call me if you need anything! Remember to
come home. I really miss you! Take good care of yourself!"
"Okay!" Anthea answered obediently.
Holding the cakes that her grandfather bought for her, she pushed the door open and got out.
When she turned around, Anthea heard the conversationing out from inside the car. Jayden
said to Master Hsu, "Dad, mom said that she wants to pay respects to my sister at her tomb again
tomorrow!"
"Wait for two more days. I ran into my inwsst week and they said that Adam woulde back
home two dayster!"
"Adam ising back?"
"Yes, it should be this Sunday. He''lle to see us then."
As the ck car drove away, their conversation gradually became inaudible.
Anthea stopped in her tracks.
Recalling the several keywords she had just heard, she couldn''t help holding the bag in her arms
tightly.
