Chapter 124 Found Her

• Monica's POV
• I think for a moment before I decide to follow my instincts. I go back to the place where I found Ayla before. The forest feels quiet today. It’s not a peaceful quiet but more like the air is holding its breath. The path feels familiar as I walk slowly, I can still smell Ayla’s scent faintly, guiding me.
• I know exactly where she is. Just like the first time. It's like this place is her hiding spot. Maybe it’s where she goes to feel some kind of peace or maybe just a place to escape everything she’s been through. I can smell her scent growing stronger now, and I look ahead.
