Meeting The One For Me

Chapter 9

Recently, Anne’s 14–year–old adopted daughter stumbled upon the news of Nathan openly expressing his love for Amelia.

That was how Anne had learned about Nathan’s memory loss, and that his close friends hadn’t mentioned Audrey even once in the two years she was in a coma. They had even burned all her photographs.

Anne lacked education. She traveled to Sheysea, hoping to use the photographs she’d brought with her to help Audrey. But she never had any intentions of hurting anyone.

“I understand, Aunt Anne,” Audrey reassured her softly, “Don’t worry, the police won’t wrongfully accuse you. I’ll visit the injured at the hospital first, then figure out a way to get you out.”

“Am I causing you too much trouble, Audrey? I’m sorry. I came to help you, not add to your burdens! I’m afraid of the Lambert family harming you and looking for your mother. I always mess things up,‘

Anne cried, her voice breaking.

“No, you haven’t!” A Shook her head emphatically, gripping Anne’s hands firmly. “Don’t be

afraid, Anne. I’m here.”

Hugo only spoke up after they left the police station.

“Shouldn’t you inform the Lambert family about the Lambert family planning to go on the show? At the very least, you should tell Ryan.”

Hugo was referring to Ryan Lambert.

Audrey’s silence and her focus on her phone led Hugo to think she was worried about revealing that Ryan was still in contact with his biological relatives to the Lamberts, and possibly causing him

trouble.

“I know you’re concerned that involving Ryan might affect his future, but once the show airs, your relationship will likely be exposed! Ryan is now in control of the Lambert Corporation. He’s the only one who can stop the show from being broadcast.”

“Looking For Relatives” was a highly–rated show and one of Sheysea TV’s flagship programs. Its host, Ian, was a famous stand–up comedian and actor with a significant background.
