Chapter 427
“Oh, I understand. Don‘t worry. It‘ll be fine.”
After hanging up the phone, she worriedly stared at the enormous wooden box. She had no idea how
the security guard brought it up. It was a struggle even to wrap her whole arms around the box.
Alexander told her to get someone to move the box to somewhere spacious; who was she going to ask
to do that?
While Lily was stressing out about this, Olivia, beside her, beamed excitedly. Olivia had already eaten
her breakfast and cleaned up before she came over. When she noticed Lily staring at the box, Olivia
went toward her and asked, “Why haven‘t you opened it?”
“I‘m scared this might be a prank.” Then Lily turned to look at Olivia helplessly and said,” Besides, how
do you dismantle this thing?”
“It should be quite easy. You‘ll need a plier and a screwdriver to open it!” Olivia seemed to be well
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtversed in this.
“Then, you do it!” Lily instantly took the
opportunity to ask for Olivia‘s help.
After rolling up her sleeves, just as Olivia was about to try to dismantle the box, she stopped and
smiled. “My knowledge is limited to the theoretical part of this. I’ve never done this before. So, I think
it‘s best to find a professional to do it.”
That was not a bad idea.
Ultimately, Lily found a professional handyman who showed up at the door with a tool bag. After
hammering around the box, he announced, “This is an easy task!”
In a quick second, the handyman had pried open the box. Everyone in the room held their breaths in
anticipation. No one knew what was inside, and everyone was curious yet, scared.
However, after removing the box, everyone exclaimed, “Wow!”
It was not a prank or a joke. It was a well–made wooden sculpture of a crane with its wings
outstretched. The crane was standing on one foot while contracting the other as if it was preparing to
fly.
The sculpture retained the wood‘s original color.
The lines and carving on the sculpture were precise, giving the crane a dynamic appearance. Everyone
could tell that this workmanship was top notch at the very first glance.
“Wow, what is this?!” Jenny, who had some business to deal with, appeared. She was taken aback by
the large wooden sculpture that greeted her.
“Jen!” Olivia trotted to Jenny and exclaimed,” Someone gave this to Lily as a gift! Isn‘t it beautiful?”
“A gift?” Jenny asked in surprise as she circled the crane twice. “This is an extraordinary gift!”
Then, she suddenly thought of the trick Nathaniel had pulled by using balloons to confess and
guessed, “Did that Hall guy send this?”
Lily was startled by her directness and shook her head.
Although initially stunned to see the crane, she quickly returned to her senses. She knew who had sent
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthis to her the moment she laid her eyes on it. It did not matter that the sender did not leave a name or
a message.
This wood, this craftsmanship; other than the young man, no one else would know how to do any of
these.
‘He didn‘t go missing after all! Maybe he didn‘t leave the country and is still living around here.
Otherwise, how did he get someone to send this to me?
Although Lily mentioned she wanted a meaningful sculpture for her grandfather‘s birthday, she had no
idea what it would look like. She could think of all sorts of creative ways to produce a fragrance, but her
mind went blank regarding sculptures.
Lily just had a rough image of how she wanted it. Aside from that, she had no idea what to order or
what it would look like.
Her initial plan was to slowly discuss how she wanted it as the young man went along with the carving,
but she did not expect the young man to quit so soon.
However, after a few days, he completed her sculpture, which he beautifully completed. She was
surprised that he took her request so seriously.
