She knelt on the ground, sifting through the bushes in search of the necklace.
Passersby couldn’t resist pointing at her as they walked by.
“Damaging the plants? How rude!”
“People these days!”
“Should we notify security?”
“Let it go.
It’s none of our business.
”
Unperturbed by the murmuring around her, Lindsey’s sole focus was on locating the red diamond necklace.

She was determined to return it to Domenic.
She couldn’t bear the thought of it being discarded so carelessly.
It felt as if, by abandoning the necklace, she was also discarding the emotions she had suppressed for so long…
She carefully searched through the bushes, her hands becoming smeared with dirt until they were caked with mud.
Yet, through it all, she vividly remembered the moment Domenic had presented her with the necklace.
He had dropped to one knee and, with a gentle voice, draped the necklace around her neck, declaring, “From this moment, you belong with me.
”
She recalled how, in the church, she had wound the necklace around her ring finger, using it as an improvised ring, and said, “I do.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

It wasn’t just any necklace.
It contained countless memories of their time spent together.
The prospect of losing the necklace left Lindsey feeling adrift, her heart fracturing with sorrow.
Tears streamed down her face, unchecked.
She hastily wiped them away with her muddy hand, but she persisted in her search.
Then, among the weeds, she glimpsed the necklace, partially buried.
A wave of relief washed over her as she gently freed it from the dirt and clutched it to her heart like a cherished relic.
“Thank goodness, it’s safe…”
With a sigh of relief, Lindsey rose to her feet, brushed the mud from her clothing, retrieved her suitcase, and left the bushes.
However, as she made her way out, security guards approached her.
“Miss, we’ve had reports of you damaging the plants.
Could you tell me which apartment you’re from? We need to apply penalties according to our policies.
”
At that moment, one of the security guards recognized Lindsey.
He was the one who had greeted her when Domenic first brought her to the complex.
He murmured something to his colleague, who raised his eyebrows in surprise, then scrutinized Lindsey before his demeanor softened.
“Miss, after discussing it, we’ve decided to overlook this since it’s your first mistake.
Just try to be careful next time.
