Meeting The One For Me

Nathan felt too ashamed to face Audrey the moment he heard her voice.

Joseph glanced at Nathan before replying to Audrey. “Audrey, I was so focused on Nathan yesterday that I didn’t pay attention to you. Did you get hurt?”

“I’m fine. How about you? Daphne said that you were also hit yesterday. Did you get your injury treated?”

“Yeah, everything’s taken care of.” Joseph’s eyes darted in Nathan’s direction. “Nathan stayed in the hospital for observation last night. If his check–up today goes well, he should be able to leave.” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“Are you going to go back to Cloudmill at a later time, then?” Audrey asked. She showed no interest in talking about Nathan despite Joseph’s deliberate mention of him.

“Yes, I’ll head back the day after tomorrow. A lot is going on at the lab, so I can’t just leave everything to Justin.”

“Got it. Call me if you need me. I have something to attend to, so I’ll hang up first.”

Upon hearing Audrey say that she was going to end the call, Nathan straightened up. HE wanted to say something but couldn’t help glancing at Joseph.

“Alright, bye.” Joseph avoided Nathan’s gaze and hung up the phone.

Then, he said to Nathan with a frown, “You heard that? Audrey doesn’t want to hear about you. Just forget it, Nathan. You have a fiancee now. What’s the point of bothering Audrey again?”

Edmond, who was standing at the door, knocked before informing, “Mr. Franklin, Mr. Campbell knows about your hospitalization and asks if we can retrieve all the formulae on

time.”

“Edmond.”

At the sound of his name, Edmond turned around and saw the fully equipped Amelia behind him with a thermos.

“Ms. Doyle! You’re here to see Mr. Franklin,” Edmond mentioned with a smile while

stepping aside to let Amelia enter first.

When Nathan heard Amelia’s name, he turned his head and looked toward the door. His eyes were red and swollen.

“Nathan, you’re awake!” Amelia walked in briskly before placing the thermos on the coffee

table.

She then sat down beside Nathan. However, as she reached out to hold Nathan’s hand, he avoided her touch.

Nathan’s pupils trembled as he lifted his hand to his aching head.

His memories with Amelia were vividly replaying in his mind.

It was the time when he held Amelia from behind and softly called her “Sweetie” in her ear as they watched the fireworks go off.

If Nathan remembered correctly, he was captivated by the demeanor Amelia exuded while debating in the debate team when he first met her.

Nathan remembered that it was a kind of demeanor that made his heart skip a beat.

What kind of demeanor was it again?

Nathan remembered it as the same kind of calm and composed demeanor that Audrey had displayed. It was of Audrey with her lips curved into a smile as she confidently shut down her opponents when she debated in high school.

Amelia used to wear skinny jeans and white flats, paired with oversized hoodies, and always carried books under one arm. Perhaps it was the way she gave off an air of casual

nonconformity that Nathan felt like he had known Amelia for many years.

It made him feel like they were kindred spirits.

As time went by, Nathan accepted it all, even as Amelia slowly changed.

“Did you intentionally imitate Audrey when we first met?” Nathan asked with his hand pressed against his throbbing head. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked up at Amelia.

At his words, Amelia suddenly stood up and hit her knee against the coffee table. She ended up screaming when she knocked over the thermos and spilled the scalding hot soup onto her legs.

Joseph quickly pulled Amelia away, instructing, “Quick, get the doctor!”

Amelia’s face was devoid of color under her mask. Her gaze wavered as she looked at Nathan.

Completely ignoring the pain in her legs, she tried to explain herself as her heart raced. “N- Nathan, what are you saying? Have you regained your memory? Have you remembered everything?”

“Yes, Nathan has regained his memory,” Joseph answered for Nathan.

Amelia clenched her fists tightly as her beautiful nails dug into her palms.

“Nathan, do you feel like

feel like you still love Audrey more? Is that why you deliberately said that? Because you want to break off our engagement?

“A–Are you trying to blame everything on me? I didn’t imitate Audrey. I’ve always been that way even before… I met you. You can check!”
