Chapter 27
Lucas passed a cigarette to Nathan and sat down beside him.
Nathan accepted the cigarette and asked, “What kind of person is Audrey?”
Lucas turned his head to look at Nathan with a curious expression as he shielded
the flame of his lighter with one hand. “Ever since Audrey woke up, anyone who
mentioned her to you got the cold shoulder. Why the sudden interest? Did you
remember something?”
“I'm just worried she’ll come back to cause trouble,” Nathan replied, trying to hide
his
embarrassment. He lit his cigarette and added, “I have no memory of her and
don't understand her character. It's been bothering me.”
“You're worrying unnecessarily,” Lucas said calmly, exhaling a cloud of smoke.
“Audrey, despite her humble origins, has always been proud and aloof. In my
memory, she'd always been someone who sticks to her words, especially when it
came to you...
“How so?”
When Nathan pressed him for more, Lucas didn’t inmediately answer. He looked
at Nathan with a complicated expression. “Nathan, now that you're divorced from
Audrey, as you wanted, stop dwelling on your past with her. If you want to have a
good relationship with Amelia, look forward.”
He watched as Nathan frowned and smoked in silence. Lucas suddenly
straightened his back and asked, “Be honest... did you remember something?”
“No,” Nathan replied. He looked down and flicked the ash off his cigarette. He
denied it stubbornly, I'm just concerned she might play tricks. I'm afraid she'll
come back and affect me and Amelia.”
Lucas thought carefully about Audrey's demeanor and actions when she got her
certificate. He confidently replied, “From my understanding of Audrey, she
completely let go the day she went to get the divorce certificate with you.”
“Really?” Nathan bit his cigarette, exhaling a thin mist. His gaze dropped to his
phone, muttering, That's good.”
“I heard from Amelia's cousin, Charles, that you let slip to the Yeomans family
that Audrey was in Sheysea University?” Lucas asked, fiddling with his lighter.
Nathan remained silent. He had, indeed.
That happened about a month and a half before he and Audrey were drugged
and ended up together.

they set their sights on her grandfather's wealth and contacted the “Looking for
Family” show.
“After the show was recorded, the family caused a scene outside the Sheysea
TV station. That old woman even threatened to jump off the building, accusing
the show of bullying them and colluding with Audrey,” Lucas recalled with a
frown.
He continued, “They even did a livestream earlier. They publicly revealed
Audrey's information and ordered netizens to attack her online. Luckily, the
livestream was shut down.
Nathan's head snapped up upon hearing this.
“Actually...” Lucas took a long drag of his cigarette, gathering his courage. He
continued, “I didn't tell Audrey the whole truth that day at the hospital.”
Nathan's lips moved slightly. “What truth?”

Lucas looked earnestly at Nathan through the drifting smoke.
He said, “So, it's time to let Audrey go.”
