Chapter 283 Willing to Fight to Protect Big Sister
Bill settled back down and looked at the lingering red marks on the woman's face before him. He felt a mixture of emotions in his heart.
"I'm sorry, Aurora. Please forgive me for all the wrongs I've done to you in the past..."
Bill's eyes reddened. What he lacked the most was an apology to Aurora.
Back then, when he came back for his elder brother in the Nelsons, he had to face his brother's affectionate wife, which was a considerable challenge and torment for him.
He couldn't do anything that would betray his elder brother, so he distanced himself from her without reason, rejecting her advances.
Amid her suspicions and countless arguments, he had hurt her heart with harsh words, and in the end, he had even caused her to fall off a cliff.
Though he had reached out to save her in time, her hand had slipped through his grasp. He had watched her fall, feeling consumed by guilt.
Eighteen years later, when she survived, he didn't welcome her home. Instead, he had her driven away. Now, he realized how guilty he felt about it.
Recalling these memories stirred up sorrowful tears in Aurora's eyes, but she wiped them away and told him, "It's okay. The past is in the past, and you had your reasons.
"Moreover, I should thank you. Thank you for not taking it any further, for your rejection back then. If I knew the truth now, I might not be able to forgive myself.
"No matter what, you endured humiliation and burdens all these years for the sake of saving Sam. We should all be thankful to you!"
After Aurora finished speaking, both of them fell into silence, lost in their own reflections about the past.
After a long while, Bill finally spoke, "When will Sam be able to come back?"
"I don't know either, but I think he should be coming back soon."
Aurora was waiting, and the Nelsons were waiting, waiting for the day when Samuel would return.
After finishing things at the hospital, Cecelia went to visit the children at the Nelsons. When she drove out of the hospital and had been driving for a while, she noticed that a car was following her.
Cecelia unconsciously accelerated, but the pursuing car also sped up.
She turned a corner, and the other car followed suit, confirming that she was being followed.
Cecelia remained unusually calm at this point. She assessed the road ahead, pressed the accelerator, and turned into a less congested lane.
The pursuing vehicle quickly picked up speed on the road and executed lane changes seamlessly.
From an aerial view, one would see that behind Cecelia's car wasn't just one car but two.
The last car was also speeding, maintaining the pursuit relentlessly.
Through her rearview mirror, Cecelia also noticed the cars behind her, seemingly two of them.
One black and one white.
She couldn't make out the man's face in the trailing car, unable to identify who was behind it.
In an attempt to shake off these pursuers, she headed toward Costal Avenue. Costal Avenue was broad, allowing her to accelerate, and also minimizing potential casualties.
Meanwhile, Remington was preparing to contact Cecelia. Before leaving, he checked her location on his phone and realized she wasn't headed toward the Nelsons, but was on Costal Avenue at high speed. What was going on?
Just a moment ago, Cecelia said she was coming directly from the hospital to the Nelsons and asked him to wait for her. How did she end up on Costal Avenue?
Could something have happened?
Remington sensed that something wasn't right and immediately headed out.
On Costal Avenue, the second black car and the last white sports car behind Cecelia didn't show any signs of slowing down, and of course, Cecelia wasn't about to decelerate either.
The scenery on both sides rapidly retreated like lightning as Cecelia's dashboard needles steadily moved to the right.
The speed was incredibly high.
As fast as the wind!
In the white car in the back, Adam sat in the passenger seat, his sinister gaze fixed on the black car ahead.
He had been lurking in the shadows, discovering that Fujino had come to the Center City and that this guy's behavior was unpredictable and unconventional.
