Chapter 324

Aurelia walked outside and met Leslie’s gaze, her mind wandering off again to the emergency contact he set up.

“Why haven’t you slept?” she asked.

Leslie noticed her nose wrinkling at the smell of cigarettes and put the cigarette out.

“Um… No reason. I just saw a piece of news that made me quite emotional.”

“What news?”

“It’s about the accident on the bridge. It’s nothing big.”

“I suppose so.”
