The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 297

Suddenly, her phone vibrated against her palm.

Snapped back to reality, Nora unlocked the screen and checked the message.

[Get some rest and recharge. I'll pick you up later.]

Nora pressed the phone to her chest. If she hadn't lived it herself, she never would have believed she could share such an incredible, fated connection with Nathan Peyton.

That brief, striking encounter years ago was something she had never dared dwell on.

To think they would cross paths again so many years later, bound together in such dramatic fashion.

Dialing back the smile on her lips, she typed out a quick [Okay] and headed straight for the shower.

...

Back at the precinct, Nathan had just killed the engine and was about to check his phone when a cruiser's headlights flared next to him.

Sensing trouble, he glanced up, spotting two familiar officers power-walking out of the elevator.

Nathan rolled down his window. "What happened?"

The two officers let out a collective sigh of relief the moment they saw him.

"Captain, Evelyn's parents just got into town. But instead of coming straight to the station, they went right to the apartment complex to cause a massive scene."

"We completely secured the crime scene, so they can't get into Evelyn's apartment. Instead, they're down in the plaza with a megaphone, blasting the property management. Bystanders uploaded the footage, and the optics are an absolute nightmare."

Nathan immediately connected the dots to that eerie novel.

"Did the public already link the two together?"

"Yes, sir!"

The officer rubbed his pounding temples. "The internet is losing its mind over the 'killer novel' conspiracy again. Keyboard warriors are already flooding our official social media accounts demanding a statement."

Nathan's gaze turned somber. Without skipping a beat, he fired up the engine. "Let's head to the scene."
