Meeting The One For Me

Chapter 5

Lacas and his sister Jen were childhood friends of Nathan. They practically grew up with Audrey.

As Lucas mentioned, after Audrey woke up from her coma, Jen was among the few who supported her relationship with Nathan.

Audrey closed her eyes, clutching the blanket tightly. She suppressed the rising anger inside her. Her pale face was devoid of any color.

“Why didn’t she speak to me?” Audrey asked.

“Jen knows she messed up, and she’s too ashamed to meet you,” Lucas replied, his lips tightening as he pulled up a chair beside her hospital bed, “I understand your concern. You’re worried that even if Jen explains things to Nathan now, he’ll still think she acted solely to protect you.”

“Nathan’s opinion… doesn’t matter anymore,” Audrey said, her voice cold and detached. “I don’t care about.”

When Audrey cared about Nathan, his opinion mattered to her.

But now, she was indifferent to him. His thoughts about her, whether he considered her despicable or disgusting, meant nothing to her..

Nathan, standing outside the hospital room door, unconsciously clenched his fist. He was unsure whether Audrey’s indifference or her declaration of his insignificance irked him more.

He stood still with no intention of entering the room any longer.

Lucas thought Audrey had reported the incident to clear her name in Nathan’s eyes. He was relieved to hear her say she didn’t care about his opinion.

He negotiated, “If you don’t care about Nathan’s opinion, can we drop the case now?”

“I may not care about Nathan’s opinion, but that doesn’t excuse what Jen did under the guise of helping me. Which university would dare accept me with such a stigma attached to my name? That’s why I need Nathan’s public apology,” Audrey explained.

Her eyes were still closed, and her voice was weak. She continued, “Lucas, I didn’t die, and I’ve woken up. I need to continue living my life. How can I establish myself in society without a degree? How can I live?”

The scandal had been so severe that no university would dare to admit her if the police investigation didn’t clear her name, despite being one of the best students in Sheysea City that year.
