Chapter 828 Breaking this ring off? Yeah, no. First, I had zero tools. Second, any noise would have Cole barging in faster than I could say "busted." Hayden had called this a data sync device, which meant it could send info wirelessly. So maybe my phone could pick up the signal? Worth a shot.
I grabbed my phone, opened the wireless settings, and bingo-there it was: qqbb522. The last three digits? My birthday. I didn't even try to figure out what the letters meant. I just connected it immediately. When it asked for a password, I remembered the debit card pin Hayden gaveages ago and added my birthdate digits at the end.

And then-connected! My blood practically fizzed with excitement. But before I could celebrate, my phone went haywire. The screen flashed like it had caught a virus, apps opening and closing on their own. Then, it went totally black. 1 froze.
Great, had it been hacked? Panicking, I tapped the screen. Then fireworks lit up the screen, colorful and bright.
And right in the middle, words appeared: [Silly girl, you madewait far too long.] My eyes instantly welled up. I just stared, too scared to even blink, like the message might vanish if I looked away.
Then, just as I hoped, another message appeared: [Give the ring to someone you trust most and have them hand it over to the police. If all goes well, we'll see each other next week.] I was so tense and excited I could barely breathe. My eyes stayed glued to the screen, waiting for more information to cthrough.
Then-bam! A knock on the door. I jumped like I'd been caught stealing cookies. I scrambled to hide the phone and ducked under the blanket.

"It's me, Yara." 12 +35 BONU Chapter 828 Relief washed over me. "I'm already in bed. What do you want?" "Open the door." The last thing I wanted was to deal with her now. All I cared about was soaking up every second of Hayden's message. Even if I couldn't respond, I didn't want the moment to end. Ignoring her, I grabbed my phone again. But the screen was already back to its regular hpage.
Panic set in. I frantically tapped and tried to reconnect, but all I got was "Connection lost." It was gone.
Hayden must've cut the signal to keep things secure.
Thanks a lot, Yara. And yet, she kept knocking. Irritated, I threw off the blanket, stomped to the door, and flung it open.
"What do you want? I'm trying to sleep!" I snapped.
She held out a glass of milk. "This is for you. Milk's good for pregnant women-calcium, better sleep, the whole deal."
