My phone rang almost immediately.
This time, it was finally Lucas on the other end.
His voice was full of guilt.
"I'm sorry, Samantha. I never thought he'd find me."
"It's not your fault. I'm the one who dragged you into this."
Lucas was just an ordinary doctor. He had done everything he could to help me.
I was the one who had been selfish and reckless all along, clinging to that last shred of hope that Henry would recognize me and eventually fall in love with me.
Instead, I had only brought trouble into Lucas's life too.
I swallowed my guilt and said, "Lucas, please go to the little town for me. If nothing has changed, there should still be a small box buried beneath the old locust tree at the entrance to the village. Dig it up and give it to Henry."
"Okay."
Lucas didn't ask why
