Chapter 145
Ben got up and squatted in front of Audrey.
"Auntie, how are you? Are you alright?" Ben looked at Audrey worriedly.
Audrey touched Ben's face with a smile, "Don't worry. I'm fine."
Seeing Ben, Audrey thought a lot.
'If ... if it hadn't been an ectopic pregnancy, that child ... would have grown up to his age.'
'However, there's no assumption.'
'The child was lost.'
'Moreover, with such a father, that child would have been criticized by people even if she had given birth.'
Just as she was thinking, a small hand waved in front of her.
Seeing she kept silent, Ben waved his hand.
"Ben, what's wrong?"
Ben looked at Audrey worriedly, "Auntie, I just talked to you, but you didn't answer me. I thought you were not well."
Audrey replied with a smile, "I'm fine. I just wandered off. Why are you here alone? Where are your parents?"
"My mother left home six years ago and has never come back. My father works in a restaurant."
He was a kid with a single parent.
Audrey said seriously, "Don't come out alone. OK?"
Ben nodded solemnly.
"Okay, I know."
The flood on the mountain did not cause any damage to the resort or any death. However, the Spiritual Spring was cut off in the flood, not flowing out any longer.
Some people said that thanks to the Spiritual Spring, the resort was saved from the disaster. Otherwise, the flood from the other side of the spring would destroy the entire resort.
...
Kylee was frightened by the flood, so she stayed in the hotel at night.
Audrey and Bryson changed into clean clothes. After dinner in the hotel, they went out to the lantern festival.
Not far away from the hotel, they met Lance.
The moment they met, they became at loggerheads.
Lance rolled his eyes and frowned at the Cordova family bodyguards standing in front of Audrey and Bryson.
"Alright, you guys are still so annoying."
Bryson smiled slightly.
"Leave us."
"Yes!" The bodyguards stepped down.
Bryson and Audrey walked forward.
Bryson said with a smile, "Thank you for saving us."
Audrey also said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Lance."
Lance lamented when he saw Audrey's pleasant expression.
He didn't expect that Audrey was nice to him under such circumstances.
Lance looked at Audrey with disdain, "You looked cute when you were angry. Now you are ugly."
Audrey was amused.
"Then thank you for your compliment!" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Lance frowned, "I'm not praising you."
Bryson raised his eyebrows slightly, "Mr. Lance also came out to enjoy the lanterns?"
"I just ate too much at night and casually strolled around to digest. I didn't expect that I would bump into you guys here. What a shame. I'm going somewhere else!" Lance turned around and walked in another direction.
After Lance left, Raye and his men also left.
When Raye passed by Tyson, he glanced at Tyson and stopped for a moment, "Thank you!"
After saying that, Raye quickly followed Lance.
After walking a bit further, Raye couldn't help but ask Lance.
"Boss, you were worried about Ms. Audrey. But why didn't you tell the truth?"
Lance slapped the back of Raye's head.
"Why do you have so many questions? Besides, can't I see? She is so lively. I don't have to ask. What a fool."
Raye was lost for words.
Somehow, he felt that after experiencing the flood, his boss became different.
...
On the other side, Audrey was finally relieved after Lance left.
Lance's words also showed his attitude. He would not pester her again.
Audrey and Bryson walked forward side by side.
Tyson and his men were about to continue to follow, but Melvin suddenly stopped him.
"Mr. Bryson and Ms. Audrey had walked away. Why are you stopping me?" Tyson was so anxious to follow.
Melvin rolled his eyes.
"Do you think they want you to follow them now?" They would be the third wheel.
Tyson was lost for words.
Tyson struggled for a moment.
"But, I am Mr. Bryson's bodyguard. I will go wherever he is. Otherwise, I'm not responsible."
Melvin reminded, "Do you think Mr. Bryson and Ms. Audrey need to be protected?"
Tyson lost his words.
'Both of them can be said to be excellent. If someone really wants to attack them, he is risking his neck. I would worry about him rather than them.'
'Moreover, Ms. Audrey and Mr. Bryson are exceptionally intimate. If they were disturbed, Mr. Bryson would definitely not let me off.'
When Melvin knew Tyson understand, he said, "So, let's follow them from afar."
Tyson cupped his fists in gratitude to Melvin.
"Thank you very much. I know."
Audrey subconsciously glanced over her shoulder after walking a bit further. Seeing that there was no one behind them, she frowned suspiciously.
"What are you looking at?" Bryson asked.
Audrey pointed behind her and said, "Your bodyguards have gone."
Bryson glanced behind him.
'They're smart.'
"Don't worry about them."
Audrey said, "Alright."
The resort was noisy, the sky cloudless, the moonlight perfectly bright, hardly influenced by the flood.
Seeing this, Audrey felt that a lifetime had passed.
In the flood, she thought she couldn't live.
Bryson appeared when she was in despair.
Bryson desperately jumped into the flood and saved her. Even now, she still remembered that scene.
She had thought that Bryson's infatuation was only temporary, not real. It could be gradually dissipated over time. But when Bryson jumped into the water, Audrey was truly shocked.
It was also at that time that Audrey deeply understood Bryson's affection for her.
She suddenly stopped.
Seeing her stop, Bryson also stopped.
He looked at her.
"What's the matter?"
Audrey raised her head and stared at Bryson. Seeing the man's worry, Audrey was relieved.
"Bryson, I..."
