Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 222 The Truth

Back then, Dalton got into a car accident on his way to pick her up, and the guilt weighed heavily on Meryl. To cope with the sadness, she began playing the cello outside the hospital. She never wanted to revisit her past with Dalton, and she certainly didn't want to talk about it.

Dalton watched her walk away, heartbroken.

Deep down, he already knew the truth.

When Dalton heard that brief recording on his colleague's phone, he was almost certain that the person he had heard years ago was Meryl.

The only thing holding him back was the hope that Lydia hadn't deceived him.
