The Last Time I Cried Your Name novel Chapter 126

Laura was completely upfront. “If it was anything else, I wouldn’t help her, not in a million years. But her going abroad? That only works in my favor. If it means getting her out of Franco’s life, why wouldn’t I agree?”

Honestly, there were plenty of ways to make Petty disappear. The problem was she always had someone watching her back, so taking matters into her own hands would get complicated.

But sending her off to Everell… that place was a war zone. Bullets flying, chaos everywhere. If she ended up dying over there, well, that would solve all her problems.

Nash thought it over for a moment. “You really don’t hide what you’re thinking, do you?”

“You promised her two months to decide. But I’m guessing you never planned to actually let her go, right?”

Nash’s eyes flickered with surprise.

He walked around behind her, gently pushed her wheelchair over to the sofa, and sat beside her. He nodded. “Everell is a mess right now. I gave her two months hoping she’d calm down and give up on her own.”

So that’s what he was thinking all along.

“But you’re worried about her. Did you ever think about me?” Laura’s voice was tight, barely keeping her emotions in check.

“I do think about you, but look at your situation. Petty’s still married to Franco, and you’re already desperate to be with him. If people find out, what do you want them to say? If I really cared about you, I’d have told you not to come back at all.”

Laura met Nash’s eyes. “You’ve always sided with Petty. Are you so reluctant to let her go to Everell because she’s your old flame’s daughter?”

Nash’s voice shot up. “What are you talking about?”

He looked furious, angrier than she’d ever seen him. Laura let go of her bottom lip, which she’d been biting. “I saw a whole album of Petty’s mom’s photos in your study. Was I wrong about that?”

“Who told you to go through my albums?”
