Lily extended her hand with a polite smile. “It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Pedro, she said warmly.

Pedro smiled in return, but as his eyes landed on her bracelet, his expression froze. Without warning, he reached

out and grabbed her hand, his attention fixed entirely on the piece of jewelry.

Startled by his sudden action, Lily frowned. “Mr. Pedro, is something wrong?” she asked, her voice tinged with

concert.

Pedro didn’t respond right away. His gaze remained glued to the bracelet as though lost in deep thought. The

silence stretched on, leaving Lily confused. She gently shook his arm to get his attention. “Mr. Pedro? Are you

alright?”

Snapping out of his daze, Pedro blinked a few times and finally looked up at her. “T... I'm sorry,” he said, his tone

soft and apologetic. “I didn’t mean to startle you. But this bracelet.. is it yours?”

Lily gave a small nod, smiling slightly. “Yes, it is.”

“Are you absolutely sure?” he asked again, his voice filled with a mix of curiosity and hesitation.

“Yes, Mr. Pedro. This bracelet has been withsince | was born,” she replied, puzzled. “Why? Is there something

special about it? You seem a bit emotional.”

Pedro’s lips curved into a faint smile. “It just remindedof someone,” he said quietly. “Someone who had a

bracelet just like this one.”

“Oh, I see,” Lily said, nodding slowly. After a brief pause, she hesitated before asking, “Mr. Pedro, would you mind

droppinghome? I... | don’t have any other way to get back.”

“Of course! I'd be happy to,” Pedro agreed quickly. The two began walking toward his car, which was parked a

little farther down the road.

As they walked, Pedro followed a step behind her, his mind racing. A faint smile lingered on his face. He couldn't

believe the twist of fate that had brought them together. Of all days, it had to be today-his father’s death

anniversary. He had been visiting his father’s grave, which was in the quiet outskirts of the city. On his way back,

he had stumbled upon a disturbing scene: a group of men dragging a girl.

Initially, he had no intention of interfering. Pedro wasn’t the type to meddle in other people's problems. But then

the goons removed the blindfold from the girl's face, and everything changed. He recognized her immediately.

She was the sgirl he had seen at the hospital-the sgirl who occasionally appeared in his dreams.

Something deep within him compelled him to step in. Without a second thought, he intervened. confronting the

men and rescuing her. Now, as he walked alongside her, he silently thanked his instincts for leading him to her.

Of all the unexpected moments in his life, this one felt like a strange but welcmiracle. Finally, he had found

her.

Inside the car, the atmosphere was calm yet carried an underlying tension.

“Mr. Pedro- Lily began, but he quickly interrupted her.

“Please, just callPedro. No need to be so formal,” he said, offering her a warm smile.

“Alright, Pedro, she replied, hesitating for a moment before continuing. “I hope this doesn’t sound rude,

“It’s okay, he assured her, forcing a small smile. “It's not something | hide. Anyway, how is that person doing?”

“Who do you mean?”

“The one admitted to the hospital,” he clarified, his curiosity apparent

Lily hesitated briefly before replying, carefully choosing her words. “Ah.. my fa-“She caught herself jus tand

corrected, “I mean, my family member. He's doing much better now, thank you for asking”

Pedro nodded, his expression thoughtful. After a moment, he asked, “And about what happened earlier. you have

any idea who might have sent those men?” His voice was low, restrained, but there was an edge of anger

simmering beneath his calm tone.

Lily shook her head. “I really don’t know,” she admitted with a slight shrug.

Pedro gave a small nod, his jaw tightening as he fought to contain his frustration. The very thought of those

goons enraged him. If he had known her true identity earlier, he wouldn't have hesitated to make them pay for

what they did.

The rest of the ride passed in silence, and soon, they arrived at Lily's building. She turned to him with a grateful

smile. “Thank you so much for bringinghome, Pedro. And for earlier... | can’t thank you enough for saving

“It was nothing,” he replied, his voice gentle.

She waved goodbye as she stepped out of the car. “Take care!” she called, heading toward her building.

Pedro watched her disappear into the building, his expression darkening with disappointment as soon as she was

out of sight. Without wasting a moment, he pulled out his phone and made a call.

The line barely rang before the call was answered. “Hello, Boss,” cthe voice on the other end.

“I need a full report on Lily. Every detail, no matter how small. | want to know everything about her,” Pedro

ordered firmly.

“Understood, Boss,” the voice replied without hesitation.

“Good,” Pedro said, a faint smile tugging at his lips as his eyes flicked back to the building. With that, he started

his car and drove off into the night.

Two hours later, Pedro arrived at his sprawling mansion. He stepped out of the car with urgency, rushing inside.

His voice echoed through the halls as he called out, “Uncle Nocl? Where are you? Uncle Noel!”

From the staircase, an older man in his mid-50s descended, adjusting the round glasses perched on his nose. His

white beard and calm demeanor gave him a wise, gentle air. This was Uncle Noel, the housekeeper who had

cared for Pedro since the death of his father. To Pedro, Uncle Noel was more than just a servant- he was family,

someone he respected deeply.

“Pedro, what's the matter? Why are you so excited?” Uncle Noel asked, his curiosity piqued. It had been years

since he had seen such enthusiasm in Pedro.

“Uncle Noel, | found her!” Pedro said, barely able to contain his excitement. His face lit up with a rare joy. “After

all these years, I've finally found her!”

Uncle Noel looked at him, stunned, as a flicker of hope crossed his own face.
