Meeting The One For Me

Chapter 36

Hugo and Amelia turned around.

“Audrey!”

“AIL ...

.. Audrey!”

In the dimly lit corridor, Audrey’s face was pale. Her bloodshot eyes fixed on Nathan. “Did you push Aunt Anne?” Audrey’s voice was hoarse and chillingly cold.

“Audrey! It wasn’t intentional. Anne kept trying to show him a photo and pulled at him, so Nathan pushed her away. They were on the sidewalk. Nobody could have predicted that a car would crash into the sidewalk!” Amelia quickly explained.

She gripped Audrey’s arm and continued, “Nathan saw the car coming and tried to pull Anne out of the way. He couldn’t save her and ended up breaking his own arm. He didn’t mean to ...”

Audrey wasn’t listening to Amelia’s explanation. She was only thinking about her earlier words, “But if you hadn’t pushed her, the car wouldn't have hit Anne.”

Flames of grief and anger almost burnt her to ashes. Tears streamed down her face as she felt a wrenching pain through her body.

She shook off Amelia's hands and rushed at Nathan. She slapped him.

The slap used all of Audrey’s strength. Nathan’s head snapped to the side by the force of it. His ears were ringing. He was completely dumbfounded.

“Nathan Franklin! Give me back Aunt Anne!” Audrey screamed as she pushed and hit Nathan repeatedly. She cried hysterically. After using all her strength for the slap, her hits were weak and hardly caused Nathan any pain.

Audrey broke down and repeated her plea to bring Anne back. She was in so much pain that she thought she was being burned alive.

Anne wouldn't have stayed in Sheysea City if it hadn’t been for her. Anne wouldn’t have gone to see Nathan, and the accident would never have happened.

Audrey had never regretted falling in love with Nathan so much. If she hadn't, none of this would have happened.

Hugo wanted to stop her, but Amelia held him back. “Let Audrey vent her anger. It might be good for her!”

Nathan took a few steps back and let Audrey hit him. He felt his cheeks burning. His temper was on the verge of flaring up. Realizing Audrey was almost out of strength and swaying, Amelia quickly stepped in. She grabbed

Audrey, who could cry no more. “Audrey, stop hitting him...”

Tears streamed down Audrey's face as she got really mad. She shook off Amelia's grip.

Amelia was wearing high heels. The force of Audrey shaking her off twisted her ankle. Hugo held her to stop her from falling. At the same time, Audrey bumped into the wall. Her hair was a mess. She screamed, “Get out! All of you! Get out!”

Nathan’s expression darkened. He grabbed Audrey's arm and lifted her. He said angrily, “Audrey, you can come at me all you want, but don’t touch Amelia!”

Amelia endured the pain and tried to stop Nathan. “Don’t treat Audrey like this! Have you forgotten your promise?”

“Nathan, let go of her!” Hugo reached out to shield Audrey.

But before he could reach her, a big hand grabbed Audrey. The hand pushed Nathan away, leaving him looking bewildered.

The soft light in the dimly lit corridor outlined Ryan’s defined facial features. His expression was serious as he looked down. His eyes, hidden behind gold-rimmed glasses, were deep and dark.

He gazed at the girl leaning on him. She could hardly stand up. He said, “Audrey, you’re Harper’s sister. Now that Anne has passed away, you need to stay strong.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Thinking about Harper, Audrey was barely able to stand. If she found out that her mother was gone... She would be so scared!
