Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 74

After the IV drip ran its course, Natalia’s allergic reaction had mostly vanished.

The doctor swung by with a few words of advice and told her she was free to go.

Hamilton alanced at her.

“Can you walk on your own?” he asked.

“Yeah, I’m good.”

Hamilton nodded, and they left the hospital one after the other.

On the way back, Natalia leaned against the car window and was lost in thought.

Silkwood City was eerily silent in the dead of night, and the only sound was the music playing softly in the car.

Hamilton’s playlist was curated by Natalia. He was a fan of jazz, while Natalia had a thing for the classics. This particular classical piece was her subtle way of sharing her tastes with him, hoping he’d pick up on her preference.

But, unfortunately, he never did.

Natalia shifted her gaze when the classical tune was winding down.

“Can I play it again?” she asked.

Hamilton raised an eyebrow and chuckled, “You into this kind of music?”

She didn’t answer but just reached out and restarted the piece.

Silence enveloped the car once more.

“What’s on your mind?” Hamilton suddenly broke the quiet.

Natalia snapped back to reality.

“Nothing much.” She answered.

Hamilton nodded, “Who came looking for you today?”

Natalia pursed her lips, “A fan of Ms. Schafer.”
