Meeting The One For Me

Daphne had witnessed Nathan taking a hit for Audrey. She guessed that Audrey must be concerned about Nathan’s condition out of guilt. Thus, she briefly informed Audrey about Nathan’s situation.

“Is that Audrey?” Azure’s voice came through the phone. Upon receiving Daphne’s confirmation, Azure took the phone and bombarded Audrey with questions. “Who was the guy that took you away today? Oh my god! The way he smashed the table with that old pervert’s head was so cool! He knocked the old pervert out with just a few punches. Who is this handsome suit–wearing thug? He must be at least six feet tall, right? Is he? His legs must be two meters long, and his presence fills an entire room! His long legs and slender figure exude power! I could sense his handsomeness even in the dim light! Audrey, spill the beans! Is he your new crush? Is he?”

Audrey absentmindedly touched her burning ear upon hearing Azure’s exaggerated

excitement. She awkwardly changed the subject and said, “I was in a hurry earlier. Are you and Daphne hurt?”

“Daphne leaned closer to the phone and said, “Audrey! Don’t change the subject! Even if Azure didn’t ask, I would have asked too! Who was that man who took you away? He was so handsome!”

Just as Azure said, the lighting was too dim for them to see clearly. Thus, they could only rely on their intuition to sense that the man was handsome. Still, they didn’t recognize him

as Ryan.

Audrey saw Ryan coming out with his wounds bandaged. She stood up straight and said through the phone. “Let’s talk about it later! I have to hang up now! Bye.”

After hanging up, Audrey walked up to Ryan. Seeing Ryan’s injured hand wrapped in gauze and blood staining his shirt cuff, she asked, “How often do you need to change the dressing?

“Every three days.”

“Let’s head back now!” Audrey worried that Ryan might attract unwanted attention. She pulled out a mask she had requested from the nurse’s desk and handed it to Ryan before grabbing his wrist and leading him to the elevator lobby.

As the elevator doors opened, Amelia, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, with red–rimmed eyes, was standing inside.

“When Amelia looked up and saw Audrey, her pupils shrank. She glanced at the tall man

beside Audrey, who wore a mask, and whispered, “Audrey.”

Audrey ignored Amelia. Just as she hesitated whether to enter the elevator or not, Ryan took her shoulder and walked into the elevator.

Amelia, too, was heading down to the underground garage.

Amelia and her assistant moved inside the elevator. They looked up at Ryan, then turned to Audrey.

Amelia had rushed over upon hearing that Nathan had been taken to the hospital after a fight at Night Palace. Nathan was awake, but for some reason, he had kicked everyone out of the ward, including her. She had gone to knock on his door, but Nathan had told her to get lost!

This had never happened before.

At first, she thought Nathan had mistaken her voice for that of a nurse or someone else. However, when her assistant knocked on the door and said it was her, Nathan grabbed something and slammed

the door. He even told them to stay away.

Nathan had said he would find a way to save Yolanda earlier that day.

However, now he behaved strangely toward her.

Amelia looked at Audrey. Seeing Audrey with this tall, injured man by her side made her heart tighten suddenly.

Had Nathan gone to find Audrey? Did Audrey say something to Nathan?

Or did Nathan remember something?

Amelia’s mind was in chaos.

“Ding”

As the elevator reached the ground floor, Ryan led Audrey out while holding her hand.

Amelia’s assistant was a little displeased. “What’s with her attitude? Amelia, you offered to greet her but she didn’t even bother.”
