    Chapter 230 The Skeleton Buried for Ten Years


    Ignoring him, I found my phone and dialed Rachel’s number. After a few rings, the call was hung up.


    When I tried to call again, it was already unreachable. I only received a text message, “Tabatha, I know


    what I want and what I should or shouldn’t do. I’m not a child, I don’t need you constantly telling me


    what to do. I want some peace for a while, please do not disturb!”


    Looking at the message sent on my phone, I felt a lump in my throat. Was she ming me for


    meddling in her affairs?


    Taking a deep breath, my headache worsened. Yes, I was not her provider, had no right to meddle in


    her personal affairs. We were just friends since childhood, I had no ce in the things she wanted to


    do.


    Yes, she was able to meet William ultimately because of me. I could rationally analyze the pros and


    cons, but I couldn’t rationally watch her so-calledpliance with her heart.


    Putting down my phone, I felt a heavy difort in my heart. If William and Emma really ended up


    parting ways because of her impulsiveness, how should I face Emma?


    “Woo woo woo…” The phone started to vibrate.

    I nced sideways, the caller ID showed it was my mother. I answered the call, and my mother’s voice


    came from the other end, “Tabatha, are you asleep?”


    Listening to her voice, my face brightened considerably. I asked into the phone, “Not yet, Mom, when


    are you and Mr. Borsething back?”


    “I was just about to talk to you about this,” Mother began, “After Alexander and I attended Mia’s


    wedding, we came over to Alexander’s old home here in the mountains. It’s quite remote, but the air is


    good and the scenery is nice. The only problem is the inconvenient road. Our car couldn’t make it up


    the mountain this afternoon, so Alexander and I had to hike in. You wouldn’t believe it, I’ve never


    walked such a long mountain path in my life. It was really tiring!”


    Listening to my mother’s nagging voice, I realized that she and Alexander had gone into the mountain


    that had copsed ten years ago. I quickly spoke up. “Didn’t you say you were just going to take a


    look? Why did you go into the mountain? The mountain is almost entirely hollowed out with mines,


    what were you doing in there?”


    My mother, on the other hand, didn’t seem to mind. She said, “It’s okay. At first, I thought the same as


    you, that this mountain must have been unsafe due to past disasters. However, when Alexander and I


    came today, we found it wasn’t as dangerous as you thought. The previously copsed mountain has


    almost recovered, and now it’s all dense forests. I’ve asked around, and the government often sends


    people to investigate, so there’s no problem. You can rest assured, nothing will happen. Besides, there


    are still many vigers living deep in the mountains. They said that apart from the natural disaster that


    urred ten years ago, there haven’t been any major incidents here in recent years. Don’t worry.”


    Aware that I couldn’t persuade my mother from such a distance, I took a slight breath and reluctantly


    said, “Alright, I won’t worry. But tell me, why are you going to the mountains? When will you be back?”


    Mother chuckled, “I was just about to tell you this over the phone. Alexander, he initially just wanted to


    seemed like the remains of those who perished in the disaster ten years ago had been found over the


    years. Hearing this, Alexander decided toe back to see if he could find his parents’ remains and


    give them a


    proper burial.”


    I frowned, the mountain had been hollowed out years ago, most people were buried hundreds of


    meters deep in the mountain, how could the remains of the victims suddenly appear?


    Even if it were to ur, it would be due to tectonic movements or extensive development of the area


    that the remains of the victims might be discovered. In the short span of ten years, there had been no


    earthquakes or other natural disasters in that area, let alone extensive development. Since the incident,


    the Hinton family had not done any development on the mountain, and had basically left thend


    untouched, not to mention others.


    “Mom, are you sure that the bones found by the vigers over there are from the victims of that year?


    It’s been ten years, there might have been other idents in that mountain, the remains might not be


    from those victims.” I voiced out, somewhat doubtful.
