The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 249

"Nora, are you okay?" Nolan sniffled, seemingly having cried all his tears out.

Nora gave a curt nod, her focus immediately shifting to assess their surroundings. They were inside what appeared to be The Abandoned Warehouse. Miscellaneous junk was piled haphazardly into the corners. In the center sat a large workbench, flanked by various tools dangling from thick ropes. Some parts of the table were clean, while others were caked in dust, indicating the tools were still used occasionally.

"How did you end up here?" Compared to Nolan's blubbering mess, Nora was so calm she barely looked like a kidnapping victim.

Perhaps infected by her unshakable composure—or simply desperate not to look like a total coward in front of her—Nolan forced himself to stop shaking. "I don't remember," he whimpered.

Nora arched an eyebrow. "Do you remember the charity gala?"

"The gala?" Nolan squinted in thought. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "Right! Someone whacked me in the back of the head! It hurt so much, I legitimately thought I was going to die. When I opened my eyes, I was here. I kept screaming, asking who was there and who hit me. Then this voice told me I was being too loud. I smelled something weird, and I passed out again. I have no idea how long I was out, but when I woke up the second time, you were here. Nora, what the hell is going on?"

Seeing the clear, unclouded honesty in his eyes, Nora deduced he wasn't lying. "Rosalind is dead," she said bluntly. "And you are the prime suspect."

Nolan froze solid. "What? Rosalind is dead? Nora, please tell me you're joking."
