Suzanne’s gentle call was enough to send shivers down Nathan’s spine.
He didn’t meet her eyes, afraid he wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to embrace her.

Suzanne lay motionless and glanced at her injured hand from the corner of her eyes. “Emily cover to helpwith it earlier.”
“What did Sally say to you?” Nathan’s voice deepened.
Suzanne stiffened and her face turned pale.
Nathan furrowed his brows. “Can’t you tell me?”
Suzanne slowly turned to him as tears welled up in her eyes. “I don’t want to talk about it.”
Sally’s words were too much for Suzanne.

acts.
Sally claimed Suzanne had killed a child by aborting it when it was seven months old. Suzanne was a murderer, an evil witch.

Suzanne secretly wiped away her tears with her other hand and asked softly, “Are you really sending Sally to jail?”
Nathan sighed with disappointment. “The Hoffis family won’t let anything happen to her. She will be out within 24 hours.”

Suzanne nodded. “Yes, they’re the wealthiest family in Norvania.”
Nathan hummed. “The Hoffis family is one of the richest families in the world, and also the wealthiest in our country.
“Sally’s grandfather, Zach, is very close to the President. And Sally is Zach’s favorite granddaughter. How could he possibly let anything bad happen to her?”

Nathan had never been a talkative man. But he still couldn’t help the urge to share more with Suzanne under her curious gaze.

“Three years ago, her parents died in an accident. When Zach

off.
“Now, Zach places all his expectations on Sally. But she has disappointed him greatly.”
Suzanne began to understand Nathan’s feelings toward Sally. She asked gently, “Are you disappointed in her too?”
Nathan’s gaze darkened and his tone lowered. “I’m also disappointed. She seemed to have beca completely different person without Zach by her side. She neglected her studies, grew rebellious and

Suzanne observed Nathan closely and saw the way his gaze dimmed. She could tell how much Nathan used to like Sally. But the love he had for her also cut him deep.
Nathan recollected the past and felt his heart grow heavier by the second. He slowly closed his eyes and allowed the mixture of
emotions to wash over him.
The gentle breeze blowing from the window not only rustled the curtains but also pulled at Suzanne’s heartstrings.
