Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 535:

“That’s why I can’t let something like that happen again, Natalia. I just can’t.”

Natalia’s heart ached at the sight of Rachel’s pain. Without hesitation, she squeezed her hand firmly. “Don’t worry. You know I’ve always considered you my sister… and that makes Jeffrey my brother. I’ll help you protect him, no matter what.”

Rachel swallowed hard, forcing a faint smile. “Thank you… Now, you should get going. Your dad’s going to worry if you’re out too late.”

“Alright,” Natalia reluctantly agreed, glancing back one last time before leaving.
