The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 576

Nathalie could hear the underlying helplessness in his voice. Her constant wariness was clearly hurting him.

But given everything that had happened, she couldn't afford not to be cautious.

Fabian, someone she had known for years, had tried to kill her. It was incredibly hard for her to blindly trust anyone right now.

"Alright, I'll keep that in mind. It's getting late, I should get some rest. Goodnight."

Nathalie offered Freddy a brief, polite smile before turning and heading back into Lumina Grand.

Freddy watched her walk away, a faint trace of sorrow flashing behind his glasses.

His grip tightened on the business card in his hand.

As a cool breeze swept past, his solitary figure seemed to carry a heavy aura of loneliness and desolation.

...

Nathalie made her way to Sophia's room.

The girl had already eaten a bowl of noodles, and some color had returned to her pale cheeks. She sat on her bed, hugging her knees to her chest, still looking deeply shaken.

"Nathalie."

Seeing her enter, Sophia sniffled, her eyes welling up with fresh tears.

Nathalie sat down beside her and asked gently, "What exactly happened?"

Sophia bit her lip, looking utterly miserable and ashamed.

Sensing her hesitation, Nathalie didn't push. She would listen if Sophia wanted to talk, but if not, she would let it go.
