Facing Anna's kindness, Laura, who had already made up her mind, couldn't listen at all.

She had deeply felt her father's complicated mood when he was searching for the tomb of the prophet.

When everyone is drunk and I am sober, when no one believes in myself, the only thing that can support me to move forward is unswerving determination and strong faith!

Thinking of this, Laura slowly turned around, looked at Ana with unquestionable eyes, and said:

"But, Anna...he's right! It's someone else who's wrong!"

"The tomb is in Syria!"

Hearing this, Anna's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Syria?!"

"Oh God, Laura, no! This sounds so crazy..."

"You have finally returned home. You should think carefully about how to take over the family business and settle down. Instead of following in your father's footsteps and continuing to pursue those myths and legends!"

"You know, it was this persistence that finally destroyed your father..."

Meeting Anna's eyes, Laura's eyes did not waver at all:

"I saw something... something that I couldn't explain. Now I finally understand what my father went through. This is not persistence, but the desire to know the truth that drives him to move forward!"

Hearing this, Anna's expression gradually became serious and she said in a deep voice:

"Eternal life and immortality are all ridiculous human fantasies and nonsense. Laura, listen to me, don't fall into this trap again before it's too late."

Shaking her head, Laura said seriously:

"It's the only thing that makes sense to me right now..."

"I must go find the prophet's tomb!"

Laura's firm attitude made Anna give up the idea of ​​continuing to persuade:

"It seems that I can't persuade you to change your mind. You are just like your father, both are so stubborn..."

Hearing this, Laura couldn’t help but smile, lowered her head and murmured:

"Perhaps, this is why my last name is Crawford..."

...

Anna, who came to visit, did not stay in the mansion for too long. She just drank a cup of tea and planned to leave.

"Okay, no need to send it away."

The two came to the gate of the mansion. Anna stepped forward and hugged Laura, then held her young face and said softly:

"Laura, no matter what happens, if you need help for anything, remember to contact me, got it?"

"Yes, I will."

The car engine "rumbling" sounded, and watching the SUV drive towards the gate of the manor, Laura turned and walked into the mansion...

Laura was alone again in the empty mansion.

However, she did not feel lonely, but relaxed a lot.

Anna's opposition made her feel as if she was walking on a road full of thorns, with only her own shadow walking alongside her.

And no one in the whole world is on her side.

The kind of helplessness and loneliness that goes straight to the heart is incomparable to being alone!

"Father, I finally understand how you felt at that time... This feeling is really uncomfortable..."

While muttering, a tall figure suddenly flashed across Laura's mind!

"If Lu Qi were here, he would definitely support me..."

Compared to elders like Ross and Anna, Laura trusts Lu Qi more, a peer she has only known for less than half a year.

Without him, the two of them have experienced too much together in Yamatai...

Thinking of this, Laura’s lowered eyes suddenly lit up:

"That's right! If Lu Qi knew the legend of the prophet, he would definitely be very interested!"

"I have to tell him this!"

Just do it if you think of it!

Excitedly, she returned to the study and found her mobile phone from under the documents scattered on the table. Laura was about to call Lu Qi when she was suddenly paused.

Only then did she think of Lu Qi's work.

At this time, Lu Qi should be in a corner of the world, working with the filming team to catch up on the filming progress of "Wild Adventure"...

Once I call him, will it affect Lu Qi's work?

Laura, who thought of this, looked at the phone in her hand, couldn't help pouting her lips, and began to hesitate.

Should I make this call or not?

Just when Laura was indecisive, her phone suddenly vibrated and the ringtone rang!

This sound frightened Laura so much that she let go of her hand and the phone fell straight down.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and reached out to grab the phone without dropping it to the ground.

"Huh... not bad..."

Looking at the caller ID on the phone screen, Laura was stunned.

The caller was none other than Lu Qi who made her hesitate!

After letting the phone ring for a while, Laura, who didn’t know what to think of, took a deep breath and finally pressed the answer button:

"Hello?"

"Hey Laura, good evening!"

"Why are you calling me when you have time? Don't you need to film?"

"I just finished work and I was a little excited, so I thought about calling you and chatting with you..."

After a pause, Lu Qi on the other side of the phone continued:

"It must be evening in London now, right?"

"Yes, it's almost eleven o'clock..."

Through the mobile phone signal, Laura could vaguely hear the "whirring" sound coming from the other side.

"Where are you now? Why does it sound so noisy..."

"Canada is probably an uninhabited land near the Arctic Ocean. It's cold and noisy here, and the cold wind blows non-stop..."

During the phone call, Lu Qi shared with Laura his experience of shooting in Canada, as well as some interesting things he encountered during the shooting.

Laura, on the other hand, put the mobile phone to her ear, listened quietly, and echoed a few words from time to time, letting out a hearty laugh.

As the conversation progressed, Laura felt that the loneliness in her heart was gradually being filled.

It feels so good to have someone with you...

Half a world apart, the two people, who were in different places but had each other's hearts, unknowingly chatted for more than half an hour.

As one topic after another ended, Laura finally found a gap and asked Lu Qi:

"By the way, when will you return to London?"

"Well, if everything goes well with the filming, I should go back in late September."

Having said that, Lu Qi did not forget to tease him casually:

"What's wrong, do you miss me?"

Faced with Lu Qi's daily flirtations, Laura, who had always been polite and generous, did not immediately respond. Instead, she paused and then changed the subject:

"Nothing, just asking."

Hearing that Laura did not criticize him, Lu Qi on the other side of the phone was also stunned for a moment, and then continued:

"Oh, okay... We have to go back to the hotel now. We have to leave for the next shooting location early tomorrow morning, so I'll hang up first."

"Well, I wish you a good dream."

"you too, good night."
