Chapter 488: The Mrs. Alvarez Scandal

Hayden heard Aurora's voice on the other end of the call. It sounded both unfamiliar and familiar, a voice he hadn't heard in so long that he couldn't even remember the last time they spoke.

"Aurora," he said, his tone carrying a hint of melancholy and loneliness.

"Mr. Alvarez? What made you think of calling me?" Aurora's response was casual, as if Hayden was merely an acquaintance.

"Nothing important. I just wanted to check in on you. I heard you went to New York." Had they really reached the point where even small talk between friends felt strange?

Aurora smiled faintly. "Yes, I came here to relax." Of course, she had no intention of telling him the truth.

Hearing the lightness in her tone, Hayden realized she had truly moved on. The one who couldn't let go of their past was him.

"How's your hand?" Aurora asked when he didn't respond.

"It's the same-neither good nor bad. I'll live with it for the rest of my life."

Those words brought Aurora back to that night. If it hadn't been for Hayden, she wouldn't be here, safe and unharmed.

"I'm sorry." What else could she say? What had happened was irreversible, and time could not be turned back.

"It's fine. I didn't call to talk about that. I just wanted to hear your voice and know that you're doing well. That's all." In his mind, Hayden imagined what Aurora might look like at that moment. Was she standing or sitting? Was she at home or out somewhere? Not being able to see her left his imagination running wild.
