Chapitre 181: Drama (1)

"That's strange," Dan said thoughtfully. What could have caused something like that to happen? He wondered. 

"Yeah. Were you able to reach the lady? Maybe we can try reaching her again. She might be able to explain this," Nicole suggested. 

"Yeah, she called back after you slept off," Dan said before going on to explain all she had said to Nicole. 

"Awww! That's just a sad yet sweet love story. I feel so sorry for you both," Nicole said sadly. 

"You also think it's us?" 

"Of course! Why else do you think the ring is working..." Nicole stopped when something suddenly occurred to her, and her eyes lit up. 

"I know that look in your eyes. What now?" Dan asked wearily.

"What if the ring draws energy from you and Bella? Like, I mean, what if it acted that way because it was too far away from you? Maybe it gathered enough energy when it was in the study, and it slowly faded off because I used it up?" Nicole asked, making Dan sit up.
