Chapter 1864

chapter1864

It all sounded a bit unbelievable. If anyone else had heard it, they might have dismissed Vivian's experience as nothing more than a dream.

But in the car, Steven, Harvey, and Paul were silent.

When they arrived earlier that afternoon, they had spoken to Bud, who had harassed Vivian. They knew what he had said to her, so when they learned that Vivian had disappeared near the massive tree, they believed her immediately.

After all, that tree had been inspected thoroughly by both them and the staff, who had repeatedly scoured the area.

"I'm certain it was Dad and Mom talking. They're trying to figure out a way to come back," Vivian said again.

Steven remained quiet for a few minutes before finally speaking. "As long as they're safe, they'll find their way back. You said they're looking for a copper mirror and that it's the key to returning, correct?"

"Yes, that's what I heard Dad say." Vivian nodded firmly.

"Finding something isn't hard. It's just a matter of time. Vivian, maybe you hearing them was destiny's way of connecting you. They'd never want to see anything happen to you. So, let's trust them and wait for their return," Steven said gently.

Vivian nodded obediently.

Harvey added, "What happened today can't happen again. If you ever want to come back here, call me first. I'll come with you."

Paul, who had been quiet until now, looked a little teary-eyed. Once the others had finished speaking, he said, "I always knew Mr. Martin and Mrs. Sullivan wouldn't just disappear for no reason. It turns out they accidentally traversed to another time. Knowing how capable they are, they'll find a way back. And I don't think we'll have to wait much longer. I'll make sure Galaxy Villa is ready for them."

Hearing Paul's words, Steven smiled and said, "In the two years they've been missing, you've already done an excellent job."

Their conversation quieted when they noticed that Vivian had fallen asleep, her eyes still swollen from crying.

What she had seen and heard today had shaken her to the core. For a woman not even 20, it was overwhelming. Even for the three men, the reality was hard to process.

For Steven and Harvey especially, the past two years had been filled with relentless efforts to find Skylar. No matter how many people told them she was gone, they refused to believe it. Even with the slimmest hope, they vowed to find her-or at least find closure.

One of the reasons they believed Vivian's accounts so quickly was because they

had occasionally dreamed of past lives over the past two years.

Over the years, Skylar had dealt with numerous negative items, and the family had witnessed firsthand the countless effects they brought. They had experienced and encountered enough to understand their impact.

Because of this, no matter how unbelievable or otherworldly something seemed,

as long as it involved Skylar, they would believe it without question.

"Should we tell Mom about what happened today?" Harvey asked, turning to Steven.

Steven's expression was grave. "Mom's health hasn't been great these past couple of years. Ted isn't doing too well, either. Let's keep this between us for now. We don't want to worry them unnecessarily."

"Alright," Harvey agreed.

Vivian wasn't in a deep sleep. The car moved smoothly, and though her eyes were closed, she could still make out snippets of Steven and Harvey's conversation.

She didn't know why her body felt so weak as if she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes. Perhaps it was the overwhelming emotions of hearing her parents' voice after so long.

She had been debating whether to tell them about Manfred, but she hesitated.

She worried that sharing this would only add to their burdens.

Yet, another thought lingered in her mind.

If... If she could find Manfred again, perhaps he could help her locate her parents and bring them back.

After all, the accents, attire, and

other details from the place she had glimpsed through the voices bore an uncanny resemblance to the world where Manfred resided. When she first appeared in his world, a voice told her he would be the key to finding her parents.
