Chapter 6: I'll Take Care of You

Nora tightly grasped Austin's arm, struggling to say, "Yes."

Austin's eyes were bloodshot, his gaze filled with hatred and disappointment as he stared at Nora. "If I had been a moment later, she would have died!"

What?

Nora was shocked. How could this be possible?

She didn't quite understand. Aria seemed fine last night. She cried and pleaded for Austin to accompany her, and all Nora did was hang up the phone. How could it lead to such a serious incident?

"I didn't know," Nora said in confusion.

"It's because you ignored her cry for help. She was attacked and almost raped. She called me in the last moment for help. Instead of saving her, you not only ignored her plea, but you also didn't call the police. If she hadn't fought desperately, she would have been raped. Now she's in ICU, just saved from the brink. Nora, I never realized you could be so cruel."

Austin tightly grasped Nora's neck to seek revenge for Aria.
