Crystal Quest

The last time she threw up was at the Andersens' house. At that time, she thought she had eaten expired food, but today she has not eaten anything.

Why is she feeling nauseous?

Natalie held the tree trunk for a while, and suddenly felt that the back of her hand was a little hot. She looked down and saw that Oscar was licking her hands enthusiastically.

This dog seemed to be very worried about her abnormal actions just now.

She reached out her hand to gently caress his fur and looked into his beautiful blue eyes.

This is a purebred dog, he reallu understand the human nature.

"I'm fine Oscar!"

Oscar suddenly opened his mouth, grabbed her sleeve and pulled her up.

"Oscar? You allow me to explore your area?"

Oscar seemed to have allowed Natalie into his territory.

"Okay! I'll go and have a look!"

Natalie knew that backyards and locked cottages were taboo throughout Anthony's house, and Oscar was the caretaker of this backyard.

Since he agreed to let her into this forbidden territory, Natalie was finally able to satisfy her curiosity.

In this backyard there is a very beautiful rose garden. The roses bloomed perfectly in the sun and the scent of flowers filled the air.

The courtyard is surrounded by a fence, and in the middle, there was a cottage house. One of the walls is made of transparent glass.

Even so, one could not see the details in the room because the glass walls were already dull.

Natalie was standing in front of the locked cottage door. She tried to push the door, but she couldn't open it. As soon as she turned around, Oscar was seen carrying a key in his mouth.

"Oscar, you really are a smart dog!"

Natalie opened the cottage door with the key.

The room is really dark. Sh pressed a button on the wall and the whole room was filled with light.

It seems that no one has occupied this place for a long time. There was a faint stale smell throughout the room.

This cottage seems to have 2 bedrooms. Even when Natalie stood in the middle of the room, she could see the contents of the 2 bedroom room and the bathroom inside.

The design of this room is very fashionable, the worktable is skillfully integrated into the corner of the room. And there is also a kind of small organ and other ornaments.

She can see that the designers of this house have put in a good effort.

But what stood out was the mermaid statue in the middle of the room that seemed to be a storage room, and it looked like the statue was made of pure gold.

Seeing the mermaid, Natalie felt very familiar.

Yes, that's the Gratia company logo.

In this room, apart from the gold statue, there are hundreds of mermaid statues of various shapes and sizes made of crystal, and some of them are made of resin.

This should cost a lot of money.

She picked up a small one, and there was text underneath. To Silvi, happy sixth birthday!

And she saw another statue. To Silvi, happy seventh birthday.

Natalie then looked at the statues one by one and found that all these mermaid statues were given to Silvi as gifts over the years!

Who is the lucky woman to get this much attention from Anthony?

"Owwww..." Oscar screamed again, he bit into Natalie's trousers and pulled her into the bedroom.

"Okay, okay, I'm coming!"

This dog is so mysterious. What's in the bedroom?

The bedroom was a bit messy. This room seems to be the most used.

There were cigarette butts in the ashtray on the bedside table and an empty wine bottle on the table.

The strangest thing was that there were two tickets on the table. One of them had been torn in half and the other was printed with Anthony's name on it.

On the back it says that this is a Crystal Quest cruise ticket.

Crystal Quests?

Natalie whispered in her mouth, and suddenly a memory flashed through her mind.

"Have you ever been on a ship before? Maybe a ship called Crystal Quest…"

Anthony's voice crossed her ears. Yes, he once said that to her.

There was confusion in her mind.

Did he approach her from the start because he had a purpose?

Then she lowered her head and looked at the two tickets carefully.

The date on the ticket is four years ago. It seemed that the date was almost the same as when his parents had an accident.

If the conclusion is correct, Anthony and 'Silvi' are on a cruise ship together with their parents.

Is this a coincidence? Who is Silvi?

Why does Anthony always avoid this topic?

No matter who Silvi was, she was definitely someone very important to Anthony.

When her cell phone suddenly rang, Natalie was startled. She quickly put down the ticket, rushed out of the cabin, locked the door, and handed Oscar the key.

"Natalie, where are you?"

"I'm playing with Oscar in the park, I'll come in a minute!" Natalie hung up the phone and rushed into the hall.

In the dining room, Anthony is wearing a grey shirt. Because he had just woken up, his hair was a mess. Even so, he looks like a handsome and sexy delinquent with his piercing eyes.

"Why haven't you made me breakfast? You are really bad!"

Anthony seems to be gradually liking Natalie's food. No matter what she makes, she always loves her food.

And, gradually he always waits for the time to eat when at home.

"I was waiting for you to wake up, then I made it!"

Natalie immediately brought a plate of sausage, bread, omelette and a cup of hot milk.

Breakfast is good for nutrition and health, her job is to keep Anthony healthy.

Anthony took the plate and took a sniff, indicating that he was delighted with the smell of his food. His tone also carried a touch of pride and happiness.

"You purposely got up early in the morning to make breakfast for me?"

Natalie sat quietly and took a piece of bread. "You're thinking too much. I was making breakfast for Oscar, and I accidentally prepared for two."

Anthony's face turned cloudy. "Making fun of the boss, huh? Your salary is reduced!"

Natalie just stared at him quietly. "When did I mock you? By the way, you even cut my salary before!"

"It's your fault for continuing to fight me. If you're like this, your salary will be gone forever" Anthony enjoys delicious food while teasing Natalie.

Young master, I brought you what you wanted!"

David came with a box.

Anthony put down his cutlery and wiped his mouth with a napkin. Then he took Natalie's hand and said. "Come here!"

"What is it for?" Natalie put down half a loaf of bread.

The box was beautifully packaged. When he opened it, inside was a beautiful crystal bracelet. The white crystal was inlaid with red crystals.

"What is this?"

Anthony looked at her, tugging her left hand. Her wrists were thin, and her white skin felt soft.

"This bracelet, is it really for me?"

"Well, it's not just a bracelet. There's a transmitter inside that connects to my cell phone..."

He then took out his cell phone and showed him an app. The app is similar to a map, with a clear red dot on it.

"It's a GPS bracelet! Anthony, why do you want to track me!"

"This is not a GPS bracelet, it functions similar to the Apple Watch. This way, I can find your location. How many times do you think you've been missing?"

He narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

Last night, after the fire incident, William called the police and named Natalie as a culprit. With his intervention, Anthony managed to eliminate the case.

He just wanted Natalie not to get out of his sight.

"I don't like this, Anthony!"

"Do I allow you not to like it? Natalie, don't go against my word in the future! Otherwise, I will cut your next month's salary as well!"

"..."

Natalie went silent.
