Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart
Chapter 191
Chapter 190
When Natalia clicked on the message, she didn't check out Hamilton's updates this time. Instead, her gaze landed on the necklace adorning Eveleen's neck-a delicate pendant carved into the shape of a pink crystal lisianthus. She used to have one just like it, a gift from Hamilton, the only thing he'd left her when he walked out of her life. But her own necklace had been destroyed by Graham in a fit of rage.
She could still picture the chaos of that day: her sister Tatiana bruised from Graham's assault, their home's furniture in shambles, and amidst the wreckage, the shattered pieces of her precious crystal pendant scattered under the table. That had sparked a blazing row with Graham, which ended with her on the receiving end of his wrath.
Clutching her phone, Natalia's grip tightened. She had been somewhat angry last night, which was probably why she hadn't noticed what Eveleen was wearing, including that necklace. But now, seeing it, a dull ache resurfaced in her chest. It took her a moment to force a laugh.
So the necklaces she'd given away weren't unique after all.
She had thought her childhood memories were the only treasures she had left-because they were one-of-a-kind. But that wasn't true. Nothing was.
Swallowing the bitterness rising in her throat, Natalia took a deep breath, closed the app, and blocked Hamilton's number once again. She wanted nothing to do with him, not even the slightest connection.
After wiping Tatiana's hands and face, Natalia prepared to head downstairs for some food when Ryan's call came through unexpectedly.
She adjusted her mood and picked up.
"Happy New Year, Ryan."
Ryan's voice carried a cheerful note. "Yeah, Happy New Year, Natalia. Where are you?"
"I'm at the hospital with my mom."
"Wait for me, I'll be there soon."
Natalia paused, puzzled. "You're in Silkwood City?"
"Yep," Ryan replied before the line went dead.
Confused, Natalia stared at her phone. Why had he come to Silkwood City so early on New Year's Day?
She wasn't sure how to deal with the affection Ryan offered, feeling increasingly undeserving of it.
Ryan arrived shortly after, bringing with him a thermos of homemade dumplings.
"I wanted to come last night, but my grandpa wasn't feeling well. Did you spend the evening at the hospital too?"
Natalia, eyeing the dumplings, managed a smile. "Yeah, thank you, Ryan."
"Don't mention it."
As they shared the dumplings, Ryan suggested, "It's a holiday. How about we catch a movie or something?"
