A Cue for Love novel Chapter 1092

Chapter 1092 The Secret

At that, Natalie turned to Anna. She felt that everything Anna was saying was particularly harsh as if the latter was trying to agitate Varre. However, Natalie could see that Anna’s words were also hurting Anna herself.

Varre was equally affected. His already pale face turned ashen. In the end, it was a lose-lose situation.

Natalie wanted to say something to lessen the tension of the atmosphere, but she did not know what Anna and Varre were hung up about, so she dared not voice careless words. All she could do was hold Anna’s clenched fist in hopes of making Anna calm down.

Varre could see that his daughter did not wish to forgive him. In a hoarse, quiet voice, he said, “Annie, give me the item that you want to replicate, and I’ll do it as quickly as I can.”

“The jade key and the jade are in here.”

With that, Anna stood up and left the room.

Natalie did not hurry after Anna. Instead, she turned to Varre and inclined her head. “To be honest, I was the one who asked Anna to ask for this favor. My daughter’s life is on the line for this. Thank you.”

Varre said, “I should be the one thanking you. I didn’t know how I should meet her, but you’ve given me a chance to do that.”

Unable to stop herself, Natalie asked, “Do you know about your health condition?”

Although Natalie did not take the elder man’s pulse, she could see from his pallor that he must have cancer. Late-stage cancer, as a matter of fact. Something that surgery, chemotherapy, and acupuncture could not treat.

“I do.”

“Then, Anna…”

Varre shook his head. “It is fate. I hope you’ll keep this a secret for me. I’m already happy to be able to see her in my last few days in this world. She despises me, but she came to ask for a favor from me for your sake, so you must have done something exceptionally great for her at one point. I’ll definitely replicate this jade key for you.”

A wave of complicated feelings washed over Natalie when she heard that, but in the end, she nodded solemnly at him.

Varre opened the box in front of him. When he saw the jade key inside, a look of shock crossed his face.

“This is…”

Although jade keys were rare, they were not one-of-a-kind.

Yet, Varre was stunned by the beauty and elegance of it. At the same time, a thought popped into his head, and he blurted out, “Where did you get this key from?”
