Chapter 1090

A look of realization flashed across Natalie's eyes.

It turns out she repeated the same mistake. That sc*mbag, Caleb, was like that. Even her biological father, the famous Varre Appleby, was no different.

With tears in her eyes, Anna said, “This matter has always troubled me. I vowed to find someone who was nothing like my father. However, I never expected I'd still end up treading the same path...”

Natalie raised her hand to wipe away the tears on Anna's face. “I'm sorry, Anna. I've made things difficult for you by asking you to accompany me and forcing you to face the demons that scarred you in the past.”

Anna looked at Natalie and said earnestly, “You don't have to apologize because you haven't done anything wrong. Saving Yumi's life is much more important. I'm the one who trapped myself inside a cage and refused to step out of it. Don't worry. I'll pull myself together and do my best to persuade him to carve that jade key so you can bring Yumi back safely.”

Natalie nodded gratefully.

It's not easy for her to take that step for me. If I get a chance in the future, I'll have to treat her better. Way, way better!

The bus continued swaying gently as it continued on its way to a remote area halfway up a mountain.

Once the bus reached the station, the two women alighted from the vehicle.

“This is where Mr. Appleby is staying now?” Natalie asked.

Anne nodded. “Mm-hmm. Follow me. I'll teke you to him.”
