A week had passed since Scarlett first met Mel. Over the past few days, Scarlett had been occupied with working alongside Mel, providing all the information she had about her mother to assist with Mel's facial recognition technology.
Despite their combined efforts to locate her mother, Scarlett often reminded herself not to set her expectations too high. What Mel had explained made sense: if her mother didn't want to be found, it would be challenging to track her down. Nevertheless, they continued their search, although the uncertainty of when it would end weighed heavily on them.
Since yesterday, Scarlett no longer had to meet Mel, as Mel had already returned to X Country. They promised each other to communicate via video call from time to time and if there was anything urgent to discuss. Now, all Scarlett could do was pray that her mother was still out there somewhere, alive, and that they would eventually find a clue that would lead them to her.
