Chapter 183 Meet Again After a Long Separation

Heidi spoke through her sobs.

I handed her a tissue. “Don’t cry, wipe your tears.”

“Thanks.” With reddened eyes, she accepted the tissue and sniffled.

I spoke calmly. “So you went overseas, that explains why I couldn’t find you.”

“Caden, have you truly been searching for me?” Her tear–filled eyes met mine.

I gave a small nod. “Yes.”

“I’ve been looking for you too. I often saw you in the news, but I never realized you were actually Caden until today.” Her voice carried a hint of sorrow.

After a brief pause, she continued, “In a way, this accident was a strange twist of fate. If I hadn’t crashed into your car, we might still be wandering separately, endlessly missing each other.”

“By the way, why were those two men after you? How did you end up in debt to them?” I asked.

They seemed like thugs. How did Tessa get caught up with people like that?

She lowered her gaze, sadness evident in her expression. “My grandma is seriously ill, and the surgery costs a million. Singing at a bar doesn’t pay nearly enough, so I had no choice but to borrow from loan sharks.”

“I understand.” I gave a small nod.

Heidi met my eyes. “Caden, about the money you just paid for me–I’ll work hard to return it.”

I shook my head gently. “There’s no need. It’s not a big deal. You don’t have to wor bout it.”

“But how could I not?” she insisted.

Glancing at my watch, I got to my feet. “Tessa, the doctor checked on you. There’s nothing serious. Stay here and rest for now. I have something to take care of. I’ll reach out to you tomorrow.”
