Chapter 442 Why Does It Feel So Far When We're So Close


Aurora had no clue why Cormac was so worked up, but she figured he had his reasons, so she racked her brain to remember.

"That day, my dad said a lot," Aurora began. "He told me he loved me a ton and wanted me to take care of myself. He also mentioned that there are still good people in the world." "He said if he died, someone would surely look out for me. Then he mumbled something I couldn't catch. He seemed really sad."

"So I got really sad too. I cried for ages, and after I cried myself to sleep, he left and never came back," Aurora continued.

Talking about this stuff was like ripping open old wounds for Aurora. Cormac felt a stab of guilt, but he knew they needed the truth.

"Aurora, you said your dad told you there are still good people in the world and that if he died, someone would support you?" Cormac asked, picking up on something. "Yeah, he did."

"Was he sure about it?"

"Yes!"

Matthew had been so sure when he told her that someone would support her after he was gone. Maybe the deal was to guarantee Aurora's safety?

If that was the case, it would have been easy to convince a dying father. But who was behind it?

"Did anyone support you after your dad passed away?" Cormac asked again.
