In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 768

With that, he grabbed his jacket and left the room.

Armond’s absence from Murphy Corporation whilst he was in the hospital must have caused many issues.

I did not comment any further and merely wished him a safe trip. After he left, I took a seat beside the bed and waited for Nora to arouse from her sleep.

Half an hour later, Nora finally awoke from her slumber. “Scarlett, you are here!” She still seemed a little muddled, and her voice sounded raspy.

“How could you venture to the base all alone? It is a place covered in dirt and mud! I thought that you disliked getting dirty!” I asked and helped her into a sitting position.

“Would you trust me if I said that I did not head there alone?” she said and pinched her brows together.

“So, you met someone else last night? Was it someone you recognize?” I nodded and asked in shock.

“I wasn’t exactly close with that person,” Nora replied, “I have a feeling that I’ve met the person before.”

“What is the situation?”

“Originally, I was picking some fruits at the yard. However, someone else was also present. I thought that he was someone working at the base. After a brief chat, he told me that he was more familiar with the other area and said that he could bring me to a place with sweeter fruits. Thus, I decided to trust him,” Nora said after a brief pause.

“So you followed him and ended up like this?” I facepalmed in frustration.

“I had no idea as well! Why would he want to harm me when I’ve never provoked him! It was the first time that I visited the base!” Nora replied innocently.

I couldn’t help but think of the past events. Maybe it wasn’t really a coincidence!

“Have you told Armond about this matter?” I asked her.

“I did.” Nora nodded. “He said that there were numerous workers at the base. It was normal for women to be preyed upon by those men.”

Although her words were true, the incident at the base had only occurred recently. Was that incident really a simple accident?

Seeing that further discussion of this topic would lead to no results, we decided to halt our talk.
