First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Do You Really Not Love Me Anymore?

Serena Jennings looked at the object with a surprised expression.

"This keychain... why is it with you?"

The keychain Caleb Lockwood handed her was a small rabbit made of plastic beads.

"I should be the one asking you that."

Serena hesitated, scratching her head.

"So these keychains really belong to you?"

"Mm..."

Seeing Caleb nod, Serena’s eyes showed even more surprise.

These keychains, to be precise, were something she picked up.

Back at the Cloud Peak Restaurant on the 126th floor of Isabelle Tower in Country C, Serena had casually noticed this pair of keychains left on Caleb’s dining table after he departed.

They looked cheap, something a middle schooler might buy.

Serena didn’t think these keychains belonged to Caleb.

Yet, they were conveniently left on Caleb’s table.

Out of curiosity, Serena picked up the keychains, asking the staff to broadcast to the patrons in the restaurant.

Cloud Peak was a highly prestigious restaurant, and as Serena expected, no one in the restaurant claimed them.

So she hung the abandoned keychains on her own keys.

Though they weren’t valuable, Serena quite liked them.

"I thought I lost them!"

"They were lost... crushed under a container."

Upon hearing Caleb’s explanation, Serena’s eyes widened.

"That’s how... you found me?"

"Mm."

Caleb nodded again.

Serena held the small rabbit keychain made of plastic beads in her hands, her heart mixed with emotions.

"Unexpectedly... it was you who saved me."

Seeing Serena pour all her gratitude into the keychain, Caleb cleared his throat:

"It was me."

Serena lifted her gaze to Caleb.

Caleb frowned, his face showing some displeasure at having his credit stolen.

"The one who saved you... was me."

"Mm, I know."

Serena gently lowered her gaze, clutching the small rabbit keychain tightly in her palm.

She heard many people say they searched the site several times, but since containers blocked the cement stairs of the abandoned electrical room, everyone mistakenly believed the containers were impassable dead ends, so they couldn’t proceed.

Several people advised Caleb to give up.

Yet, Caleb continued his search in the storm, refusing to rest until he found her.

If it weren’t for Caleb’s persistence...

If it weren’t for Caleb recognizing the fallen keychain...

She wouldn’t have been saved.

Serena trembled from the thought.

The cold and suffocating feeling from being trapped in the abandoned electrical room haunted her.

Serena lifted her gaze once more, meeting Caleb’s eyes.

Caleb also looked at her.

Those eyes, dark as ink, seemed to be coated with a layer of pearl luster, bright and profound.

Serena couldn’t convince herself that Caleb felt nothing for her.

If truly not...

Why would Caleb risk everything to save her?

Just as he did when the laid-off employee of Newcross Real Estate stabbed her. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

And this time too.

But Serena had learned too many lessons; blindly indulging in her own feelings would only lead to her own hurt.

Seeing Serena and Caleb looking at each other affectionately, Mr. Miller quietly slipped into the adjacent care room.

However, the care room was poorly soundproofed, and both he and the caregiver could hear everything from the ward.

For instance, just as Serena called Caleb’s name, Caleb’s phone suddenly rang.

For the first time, Caleb hung up the call.
