Chapter 60

“It was just a tripped fuse in the basement. Maybe something in your house short-circuited, so if this happens again, check i the fuse tripped!" Ethan brushed off the dust from his hands, reminding Hannah as they walked up the stairs from her villa's basement.

"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known what to do. You even fixed the circuit for mel How about I buy you lunch?" Hannah was sitting on the sofa in the living room while dabbing her scraped arm with ointment after changing into a white dress.

"No need, it was just a small favor! I'll head back now!" Ethan brightened up, thinking that this woman looked quite beautiful in a dress. However, he wasn't in the mood to appreciate a beautiful woman right now; he was eager to go back and continue what he was doing!

"Wait...” Unexpectedly,despite her many hints, Ethan was still oblivious. Hannah quickly stood up and called out to him.

"Is there something else?" Ethan furrowed his brow, seeming dissatisfied with Hannah taking up his time.

"I still don't know your name." Hannah laughed bitterly. It was the first time she had encountered a man who wasn't immediately at her feet.

“It's Alex," Ethan concealed his real name. This woman mentioned that she had seen him at the villa gate before, and he didn't want to complicate matters.

"Alex... Alright then, are you interested in minerals? I'm attending a mineral trading conference this afternoon. If you're free, you could tag along...”

"How about I buy you a piece of ore as a token of gratitude?”

Hannah extended an invitation to Ethán.

"Are you talking about mineral gambling?" Ethan's interest was immediately piqued.

"That's right. You seem interested, so how about I pick you up at the entrance after lunch?" Hannah noticed Ethan's hesfration and had a sudden idea.

"Do you know a lot about the industry?" Ethan was instantly intrigued as he was struggling to figure out the bead's origins.

“I personally own a jewelry company, so I have some knowledge about gemstones!" Hannah modestly explained.

"Then, could you help me identify this bead's material?" Ethan said as he took out the bead from his chest pouch.

"Oh,it's blue and has a very unique texture. If it weren't transparent,I would've suspected it was artificial. I'm sorry, but I don't know either! Maybe you can come with me to the mineral trading fair and someone there might recognize this!"

Hannah looked at it for a while but couldn't make sense of it.Helplessly, she returned the bead to Ethan while inviting him.

"Consider it an opportunity to broaden your horizons!" she smiled at him, hoping he'd give in.

"Here's my number, so give me a call before you leave." Ethan hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed, leaving his phone number with Hannah before leaving.

"What an interesting young man!" Watching Ethan return to his villa from her own yard, Hannah had a faint smile.

But soon, she remembered what had just happened and a trace of worry flashed through her eyes.

Back in his room, Ethan couldn't wait to take the bead out. It was strange how he could wear it directly on his body.

After all, it was strange for a grown man to wear a pouch.

"Hannah owns a jewelry company. I should ask her to turn it into a necklace so I can wear it," Ethan thought, suddenly recalling his neighbor.

Shaking his head, he put that though aside and focused on the blue bead.

Just like last night, as long as he held it in his palm, he would feel a cool sensation seep into him.

Moreover,he could feel that even though the coolness had grown fainter with time, it was still flowing throughout his body.

He couldn't understand the purpose of it, but the fact that it healed his injuries overnight was mind-blowing.

Also, he fet more energetic than before, with a slight improvement in his senses and touch.
