Chapter 140
âI was with her at that time. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly!â Dylan said, gripping Audreyâs hand tightly, his thin lips pressed into a firm line.
Audrey could clearly feel Dylanâs hand trembling slightly. Her eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of coldness.
âThat might not be in line with the rules!â one of the law enforcement officers said.
âRichard!â Dylanâs cold gaze swept over his subordinate. Richard immediately stepped forward and spoke to the officers. âThis way, everyone!â
âOkayâ¦â The officers answered hesitantly. They had received a report and found the body, so they came to bring Audrey for questioning.
However, with the Clifford familyâs status and Dylanâs identity, even in Norville, no one dared to offend him. Not to mention, Audreyâs identity was also significant.
Moreover, they only knew that Audrey had been active in Norville and the suburbs, but they did not have any substantial evidence.
After some thought, the middleâaged man in charge said, âThis will be troublesome!â
Then, they followed Richard out of the ward.
After they left, only Audrey and Dylan were left in the ward.
Dylan glanced at Audrey, who had lowered her head with a cold expression. His heart raced, and he looked anxious, fearing that Audrey might remember the events from seven years ago and distance herself from him.
âBaby, itâs okay. Iâll get Richard to settle everything. In the future, no one will be able to take you away. Donât be angry, okay? Donât ignore me!â said Dylan.
Dylanâs voice trembled slightly. It was so low that it barely reached Audreyâs ears. He had not slept for a day and a night. His voice was hoarse and filled with fear, with redârimmed eyes.
He was terrified that Audrey would not even give him a chance to atone and would keep her distance from him. He dreaded that the relationship they had just begun to mend would revert to where it was before.
The ward was eerily quiet. Just as Dylan feared that Audrey would turn and leave, denying him any chance to atone for his mistake, Audreyâs cold voice finally cut through the silence.

The cold command made Dylanâs heart pound.
No. I wont let you go?â he said his voice low and rough
Tykal Audryâs tone was chilly, with a hint of impatience.
Alright I let go Just donât go Dylan, fearful of making Audrey unhappy, relented and let
He was afraid that if he angered her, she would never come back, nor would she give him a chance to redeem himself.
âEat something first. I had Richard prepare all your favoritesâ Dylan said, placing the breakfast in front of Audrey, watching her carefully.
This time, Audrey did not refuse. Though her expression was still impatient and cold, she walked to the dining table and sat down.
Dylan watched her eat breakfast, finding even that sight to be beautiful. His dark eyes were filled with intense affection that seemed to melt away all his worries.
When Audrey put down her spoon, there was still plenty of food left on the table.
âHave some more. Youâre too skinny!â Dylan urged when he saw Audrey only ate a little.
âIm full. You eat,â Audrey said indifferently, glancing at him.
âThen drink this. I had Richard get you freshly squeezed orange juice!â Dylan placed the orange juice in front of her.
Audrey took a sip, and Dylan smiled slightly, visibly relieved.
He then took Audreyâs used bowl and spoon, eating without minding. His mood seemed to improve.
Audrey frowned slightly as she observed Dylan but said nothing.
âDonât worry about Rebecca. Iâll handle it!â Dylan said after finishing his meal.
âNo need!â Audrey refused immediately without much thought.
âBaby, you said youâd give me a chance to atone. You canât go back on your word!â Dylanâs eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at Audrey, his voice sounding a bit aggrieved.

Chapter 140.
Audrey looked at him seriously and then said calmly, âAlright!â
It was just Rebecca. Audrey was more concerned about the person behind Rebecca.
Her eyes flashed with a trace of coldness when she thought of the previous call.
The next moment, she heard Dylanâs deep voice beside her ca. âBaby, do you want to move to Clifford Mansion? Itâs very safe there!â
Hearing this, Audrey sneered suddenly. Her cold, dangerous gaze met Dylanâs. âThe Holland residence is also very safe!â
âThen Iâll move there to protect you, okay?â Dylanâs deep gaze was fixed on Audreyâs face.
âDylan, Iâm just giving you a chance to atone. Iâm not forgiving you.â Audreyâs cold smile faded, and her gaze softened slightly as she looked at Dylan.
Dylan felt his heart contract, and he said in a low voice, âYes, I know!â He just wanted to be closer to her.
He missed her so much. He had been thinking about her for a full seven years.
Even when Audrey took just one step back, he wanted more and more. He wanted her to see only him, to make everything about her belong to him, and to have her take his last name.
âIâm going to rest now!â Audrey said coldly and left the ward.
As soon as she returned to her room, Troy called.
âAre you alright?â Troy asked.
He must have gotten some information from his own sources, that was why he called.
âIâm fine!â Audrey said calmly.
âIâm here. Iâll be in Norville in half an hour. Where are you? Should I pick you up?â
Audrey thought for a moment and replied, âIâll send you the address!â
Forty minutes later, Troyâs car stopped outside the hospital. Audrey packed up and left the ward.
Seeing the two guards at the door, she said indifferently, âTell your boss Iâm heading back to Northville first!â

His subordinate hurriedly reported to Dylan
As he heard that Audrey was returning to Northville, Dylanâs expression remained calm, but the ward was filled with a suppressed cold atmosphere.
His lips were tightly pressed into a line, and after a moment, he gave a selfâdeprecating smile.
âFind out who picked her up!â he ordered.
âIâve checked. Itâs Troy Callahan from the Callahan family in ladale City,â Richard reported, noting that Troyâs presence in Norville was not a secret.
âWell, has the police arranged it?â
âYes, Sir. Everything has been arranged. But, Iâm afraid the murderer behind Rebeccaâs death is not simple!â Richard handed a newly obtained document to Dylan.
Dylan only took a glance and his expression became a little more serious.
