Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 41

Alden couldn’t deny it. There really was no need for Eveleen to have done what she did. Even a blind man could see that Hamilton’s relationship with Natalia wouldn’t affect Eveleen.

“Could It really be a fan acting on their own? But as Ms. Jenkins said, there are so few people who know about you two, even close by. How did a fan find out?”

Alden was puzzled.

Hamilton frowned as he watched the rain pour down outside the window. After a moment of silence, he spoke. “Keep an eye on the police situation for me. Let me know immediately if there are any developments. Also, manage the online chatter. I don’t want any nasty rumors spreading any further.”

Alden acknowledged with a nod. “Alright, got it.”

When Hamilton got back to the car, Natalia was sitting there with her eyes closed.

“Does it hurt?” Hamilton asked.

Natalia opened her eyes to look out the window. “What do you think, Mr. Fowler?”

Hamilton’s face grew cold. “Natalla, did I cause your injury?”

After a moment of silence, Natalia apologized, “Sorry, I’m just not in a good mood.”

Hamilton glanced at her. “We’ll get to the bottom of this.”

Natalia nodded, her heart heavy. “Yeah.”

“Is it very painful?”

“A bit.”

“Should I get you some painkillers?”

“No need, it’s just minor. I can bear it.”

Hamilton was silent for a while, then suggested, “Yeah, try to get some rest now. We’ll be home soon, and you can rest up properly then.”

“Okay.”

They didn’t speak much for the rest of the journey.

At the same time, elsewhere.
