Vengeful Hearts Return Novel by Susan Clyde

“I was with her at that time. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly!” Dylan said, gripping Audrey’s hand tightly, his thin lips pressed into a firm line.

Audrey could clearly feel Dylan’s hand trembling slightly. Her eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of coldness.

“That might not be in line with the rules!” one of the law enforcement officers said.

“Richard!” Dylan’s cold gaze swept over his subordinate. Richard immediately stepped forward and spoke to the officers. “This way, everyone!”

“Okay…” 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 family’s status and Dylan’s identity, even in Norville, no one dared to offend him. Not to mention, Audrey’s 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 middle–aged man in charge said, “This will be troublesome!”

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.

“Baby, it’s okay. I’ll get Richard to settle everything. In the future, no one will be able to take you away. Don’t be angry, okay? Don’t ignore me!” said Dylan.

Dylan’s voice trembled slightly. It was so low that it barely reached Audrey’s ears. He had not slept for a day and a night. His voice was hoarse and filled with fear, with red–rimmed 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, Audrey’s cold voice finally cut through the silence.

The cold command made Dylan’s heart pound.

No. I wont let you go?” he said his voice low and rough

Tykal Audry’s tone was chilly, with a hint of impatience.

Alright I let go Just don’t 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.

“Eat something first. I had Richard prepare all your favorites” 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.

“Have some more. You’re too skinny!” Dylan urged when he saw Audrey only ate a little.

“Im full. You eat,” Audrey said indifferently, glancing at him.

“Then drink this. I had Richard get you freshly squeezed orange juice!” Dylan placed the orange juice in front of her.

Audrey took a sip, and Dylan smiled slightly, visibly relieved.

He then took Audrey’s used bowl and spoon, eating without minding. His mood seemed to improve.

Audrey frowned slightly as she observed Dylan but said nothing.

“Don’t worry about Rebecca. I’ll handle it!” Dylan said after finishing his meal.

“No need!” Audrey refused immediately without much thought.

“Baby, you said you’d give me a chance to atone. You can’t go back on your word!” Dylan’s eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at Audrey, his voice sounding a bit aggrieved.

Audrey looked at him seriously and then said calmly, “Alright!”

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 Dylan’s deep voice beside her ca. “Baby, do you want to move to Clifford Mansion? It’s very safe there!”

Hearing this, Audrey sneered suddenly. Her cold, dangerous gaze met Dylan’s. “The Holland residence is also very safe!”

“Then I’ll move there to protect you, okay?” Dylan’s deep gaze was fixed on Audrey’s face.

“Dylan, I’m just giving you a chance to atone. I’m not forgiving you.” Audrey’s 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, “Yes, I know!” 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.

“I’m going to rest now!” Audrey said coldly and left the ward.

As soon as she returned to her room, Troy called.

“Are you alright?” Troy asked.

He must have gotten some information from his own sources, that was why he called.

“I’m fine!” Audrey said calmly.

“I’m here. I’ll be in Norville in half an hour. Where are you? Should I pick you up?”

Audrey thought for a moment and replied, “I’ll send you the address!”

Forty minutes later, Troy’s car stopped outside the hospital. Audrey packed up and left the ward.

Seeing the two guards at the door, she said indifferently, “Tell your boss I’m heading back to Northville first!”

His subordinate hurriedly reported to Dylan

As he heard that Audrey was returning to Northville, Dylan’s expression remained calm, but the ward was filled with a suppressed cold atmosphere.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

His lips were tightly pressed into a line, and after a moment, he gave a self–deprecating smile.

“Find out who picked her up!” he ordered.

“I’ve checked. It’s Troy Callahan from the Callahan family in ladale City,” Richard reported, noting that Troy’s presence in Norville was not a secret.

“Well, has the police arranged it?”

“Yes, Sir. Everything has been arranged. But, I’m afraid the murderer behind Rebecca’s death is not simple!” Richard handed a newly obtained document to Dylan.

Dylan only took a glance and his expression became a little more serious.
