Chapter 932: Chapter 926: Unknown to Others 1

The driver was waiting for passengers by the roadside, and when he saw three girls coming over, he promptly asked: "Where are you three going?"

He spoke the latter part with a note of confusion.

Isn’t this the famous celebrity Tiana Thorne?

Tiana tried to make her voice sound gentle and asked: "Sir, do you remember if an hour ago you picked up a seven-year-old passenger?"

"Yes, I remember. She was also a celebrity. I’ve watched her dramas and even asked her for an autograph."

As he spoke, he opened the small notebook he usually used for accounting, and there were indeed three neat characters—Keira Jules.

Tiana was very observant and noticed there’s a semi-transparent spot on the paper, likely from a tear drop.

"Do you recall where you dropped her off?"

The driver chuckled and said: "Of course, I remember. That girl was chatting with me all the way and went to a small town."

Hearing this, Tiana felt somewhat relieved, and she asked: "Do you remember where exactly? Could you take us there?"

"No problem."

The driver just heard that the child mentioned shooting a commercial with Tiana Thorne, so there was no reason to refuse.

Tiana added: "For this stretch of road, please run the meter; I’ll pay you when we arrive."

"Okay."

The driver smiled broadly, not expecting to meet a celebrity, let alone such personable celebrities.

Then they got in the car again.

They followed the driver all the way to a small town.

Tiana looked around but didn’t see Keira’s small figure. She turned her gaze to Naomi Kirby: "Do you know what significance this town holds for her?"

After all, Naomi partnered with Keira for a long time and might have heard her mention it.

Naomi responded: "She mentioned that her hometown is a small town; perhaps this is her mother’s family home."

"I see."

"Mm."

Tiana looked at the traffic outside until they stopped at a sparsely populated place.

The taxi driver got out and walked over to May Sloane’s car: "Ladies, this is the place."

Tiana got out of the car and surveyed the surroundings, finding it somewhat desolate with hardly anyone walking about: "Are you sure this is the place?"

The driver nodded: "She said it was her hometown and that she came to visit relatives."

The driver’s words overlapped with Naomi’s memories; it must be here.

Tiana asked again: "After she got off, did you notice which direction she went?"

"Straight ahead. I originally offered to wait here and take her back to the city after she visited her relatives, but she refused, saying she was staying overnight at her hometown. So, I left."

Tiana gave him three hundred yuan: "Thank you, no need to give change."

The taxi driver accepted it eagerly, saying: "That’s too much; it’s not necessary. Wait, let me get you change."

Tiana shook her head: "No need."

Then she got into the car, and the three headed in the direction pointed by the taxi.

The road was not very wide, with an occasional car passing by. In front of them was the highway, and it was uncertain when they’d find her if they continued searching.

At this moment, May noticed an important road sign: Jiang Town Cemetery.

"Tiana, could it be that Keira’s mother’s ashes are not in the James Jules family shrine, but in her hometown cemetery?"

Naomi agreed: "Yes, that’s why Keira came back to look for her mother."

"Let’s go in and see."

"Mm."

The car stopped outside the cemetery.

After getting out, they walked to the guard’s booth where a security guard was watching TV. Tiana called out to him: "Hello, Uncle."

The security guard turned his head: "What is it?"

Tiana gestured with her hand: "Have you seen a girl about this height enter the cemetery?"

"Oh, you’re talking about Keira."

Upon hearing this, Tiana’s heart filled with excitement; they were finally about to find her.

"Yes, it’s her."

The guard nodded: "She went in quite a while ago."

Then, feeling uneasy, he asked: "Who are you to her?"

"I’m Tiana Thorne, her new drama partner."

After she gave her name, the guard understood why he felt familiar and promptly nodded: "Go on in, her family’s grave is number one hundred thirty."

"Thank you."

The three of them stepped into the cemetery.

They quickly searched for the gravestone, each one filled with worry.

Finally, at number seventy, they lifted their gaze, spotting a small figure kneeling beside a gravestone not far ahead.

Naomi shouted: "It’s Keira."

Saying that, unable to control her worried heart, she called out: "Keira."

However, it seemed Keira didn’t hear, nor did she turn her head.

Naomi shouted again: "Keira."

She still didn’t give any response.

Seeing Keira like this made Tiana, May, and Naomi feel panicked.

They quickly ran over, finally reaching Keira’s side.

She was kneeling, leaning against her mother’s grave, with blood trickling from her mouth. Her pretty, obedient-looking face was stained with tears not yet completely dried by the wind.

Witnessing this scene, the always indifferent Naomi was terrified; she didn’t expect Keira to truly follow through as May had just mentioned.

She hurriedly called Keira again: "Keira, what’s wrong?"

Tiana’s heart sank; at this moment, accustomed to the cycle of life and death, she couldn’t accept it. She glanced down, saw a bottle of medication on the ground, and murmured: "She took poison."

May and Naomi’s hearts sank heavily.

What kind of pain would make a girl who smiles so sweetly take poison, choosing such a painful way to leave this world?

In panic, Naomi took out her phone, trembling, and dialed the emergency number for the hospital.

Tiana once again thought of the look Keira gave her; in such despair, she extended her hand, trembling, to test Keira’s breath.

Faint breathing...

Her heart trembled fiercely: "She’s not dead yet."

Saying this, she lifted Keira, patting her cheek: "Wake up, Keira, pull yourself together, wake up quickly."

May’s eyes reddened, trying to awaken her: "Keira, wake up."

Tiana supported her against her body, then began to slap her back with her hand: "Spit out the poison quickly, Keira, your mom wouldn’t want to see you die like this; you’re her precious treasure."

Upon hearing about her mother, the girl’s fingers, muddled in consciousness, moved slightly.

Seeing this, Naomi seemed to recall her own childhood, silent tears falling, holding Keira’s hand, softly saying to her: "Keira, Mom didn’t leave you alone in this world; she wanted you to help her live on."

Keira slowly opened her eyes and saw Naomi; always vibrant with smiles, she now had suppressed tears in her eyes and softly called out: "Naomi..."
