You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 93

Coralie took out her cell phone. She wanted to use the navigation system, but the signal was becoming worse as she went further. In the end, it was difficult for her to even get a connection for the navigation system.

She looked at the road down the hill and she wanted to turn back, but when she looked forward, it seemed that she would be there soon.

According to Joanna, this village was called Village Y, and the ex-employee who owed the company money was called Connor Taylor. In fact, Coralie thought that this village might be Connor's hometown, but he might not be at home as he was working outstation.

However, now that she was here, she had to go and have a look.

Coralie walked all the way up the mountain and she finally saw a place that looked like a village. She saw that there were no numbers or addresses on the houses, so she had to ask someone from one of the houses first.

An elderly woman opened the door.

Coralie asked, "Auntie, may I ask where is house number 31, Connor Taylor's house?"

"Sorry?"

It seemed that the woman's hearing was not very good. After Coralie asked her this, she didn't seem to hear her clearly.

Coralie had no choice but to show the paper that Joanna had given her. She looked at it and waved her hand. "No, no."

After that, she slammed the door and shut Coralie out.

Coralie didn't understand what the woman meant. Didn't she know this person?

Helplessly, she found another house next to her. This time, it was a middle-aged man who opened the door.

"Uncle, may I ask where is Connor's house? House number 31?"

Coralie asked.

"Connor..." The middle-aged man didn't seem to want to say anything at first, but he looked Coralie. A woman had come to such a remote place on her own. He looked behind her. It seemed that there was no one else, so he said, "That guy has moved away a long time ago. He owed people a lot of money, and the creditors came to look for him every day. He moved away because he had no other choice."

"He moved away..." Coralie frowned. "Do you know where he moved to?"

"How would I know?"

"Thank you."

Coralie took a few steps back. She was helpless. It seemed that she was destined to return empty handed today.

The middle-aged man stood behind Coralie and looked at her. Although she was wearing a coat, she wore only thin socks and she didn't put on proper winter boots. He reminded her in a kind manner from behind, "Young lady, look at the weather. It's going to snow heavily. You should go down the mountain quickly. You might not be able to go down later."

Coralie looked up at the sky. Like how he said, the sky was getting darker and the weather seemed to be getting worse.

"Thank you. I'm going down the mountain right now."

She thanked him and walked down the mountain.

Not only was this place old and remote, the phone signal was really bad. Coralie took a look at her cell phone, and there was no signal at all.

She gave up the idea of calling Skylar, so she had to put the cell phone back into her bag and rushed to the bus station.

At the bus stop, it was written that the last bus would be at 5.30 p.m. It was 4 o'clock. If she walked faster, she should be able to catch the last bus.

Coralie jogged slowly toward the bus stop. In the snow, her feet were already frozen because of her thin shoes. She hurried to the bus station. She thought of getting a ride home and taking a hot bath immediately.
