Chapter 884
Chapter 884 Reunion Watching Natalie walk away to take a call, Bianca continued to load groceries into the cart. She couldn't hear what the man on the other end of Natalie's call was saying, but she heard Natalie hastily speak into the phone.
"Okay. I'll be back soon." Bianca was silent.
Was Natalie leaving already? Clearly, although these past few months had been a rare respite for her, they had also been lonely for Bianca.
Natalie had always been her emotional anchor.
It seemed that no matter how much her world changed, their bond would remain steadfast. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Yet now, as Bianca heard that Natalie was leaving again, a tinge of sadness flashed in her eyes. But she also knew that Natalie wasn't in the best situation herself.
Eventually, as Natalie turned back towards her, Bianca's expression revealed an unprecedented ease.
‘Bia, I probably can't stay with you for now," Natalie's tone was somewhat apprehensive as she spoke.
Bianca nodded. "It's okay, you should head back." After all, Simeria had just changed hands again! Surely, Austin had plenty of matters to attend to. Consequently, Natalie, who was his wife, was also involved.
Hearing Bianca's understanding words, Natalie felt a bit relieved.
'l have to leave now." "Is it that urgent?" "Yeah." "It's okay. Go ahead." At this moment, her
presence was the greatest comfort for Bianca.
Their world had indeed changed. They could no longer stay up all night together carefreely, let alone hope for a week together.
Natalie hesitated to leave. Before departing, she advised Bianca, "Malcolm and Zane are around here. If you don't want to see them, be careful, okay?." "Okay." "And don't get into fights, you hear me?" Natalie had noticed how troublesome it was to handle such matters here while dealing with the paperwork just now. Plus, she didn't want I Bianca to have any more accidents. I After all, it took Natalie several hours to come over! - More importantly, just the thought of Bianca's demeanor in the corner earlier made Natalie feel uneasy.
Bianca was such a proud person.
When had she ever been treated like this? Seeing Natalie worry about her, Bianca felt a bit exasperated. "I'm not a child. I've learned my lesson this time." Natalie sighed. "I know you're not a child, but you've always been reckless in these matters.” Bianca was like that in the past and was the same now! Natalie preferred Bianca to handle things the way she used to. What was the use of just beating up those scumbags? Sending them to jail was the best punishment! "Okay, I got it. I'l be more careful in the future.” Bianca couldn't bear seeing Natalie's worried expression.
~ Upon hearing Bianca's reassurance, Natalie felt slightly relieved. But before leaving, she couldn't help but ramble on and on.
Bianca felt like her ears were going to bleed just listening to her.
As Natalie rambled on, Blanca suddenly worried about the future of Natalie's children.
Natalie was nagging so much! What would her children go through in the future when something happened to them? Just the thought of it was terrifying.
i I Eventually, Natalie left.
Bianca's car was almost bursting with groceries as she started her journey back to the countryside.
The road was covered in snow, but Bianca couldn't appreciate the scenery. Despite the snow being cleared, the freezing temperatures I quickly turned the roads icy. Even with snow chains on her tires, she felt uneasy. I And then, of course, the worst happened.
Yesterday's scene replayed itself! "Please, don't hit me! Stop!"
Bianca heard the cries as she approached the corner near her rented apartment.
It was the same man from yesterday, hitting the same woman.
Bianca was speechless.
‘Please, I'm sorry! I know I was wrong!" The woman begged relentlessly.
The man slapped her across the face, "You want to divorce me? Where will you get the money for a lawyer, huh? Go on! Tell me!" The woman trembled in fear as she looked at the crazed man before her.
Bang! Bianca slammed the door as she got out of her car.
Hearing the commotion, the man stopped and turned around. When he saw it was Bianca, he stiffened.
Bianca stared at him coldly, her eyes narrowed
dangerously.
The man tried to maintain his tough facade and shouted, "You nosy woman, get lost! If you dare to interfere, I'l kill you!" His mouth was full of threats as usual, but all he could remember was Bianca ruthlessly beating him yesterday. He had no idea where a woman got such strength from, leaving him powerless to retaliate.
Bianca looked at him coldly, then glanced at the stick in the man's hand. With a dangerous glint in her eyes, she turned and walked to the back of her car.
Opening the trunk, she took out a beer bottle and approached the couple without saying a word.
"Y-you... What are you...?!" Seeing the bottle in Bianca's hand, the man, even with his baseball bat, couldn't help but step back.
But Bianca remained silent as she approached.
Her silence only deepened the danger in her eyes, giving off an aura of someone not to be messed with.
"A real man doesn't fight with a woman. You better remember that!" Clang! Crash! She said nothing more as the man turned and ran, dropping his bat on the ground.
The woman was in even worse shape than she was yesterday.
At this moment, her face was bruised, and I there were marks on her neck. Seeing Bianca, her emotions completely collapsed, and she cried while covering her face.
Her helpless sobbing amidst this icy landscape carried a sense of suppressed despair.
Twenty minutes later, it was freezing outside.
The temperature was probably around minus
twenty degrees, but it was warm and cozy inside the house.
The fireplace crackled, adding a sense of warmth to this winter scene.
Bianca handed a cup of hot cocoa to the woman. "Here, take this." ‘Thank you...!" The woman gratefully took the hot cocoa from Bianca's hand. Their hands accidentally touched, and hers felt even colder than Bianca's.
But this chill was different. Bianca's was due to poor circulation, but the woman's was from being frozen! What could be more hopeless than being pinned down in the snow by her own husband in such cold weather? ~ "My name is Nancy Sharp." Bianca nodded. "Drink up." The friendship between Bianca and Natalie seemed to be the limit of Bianca's social circle because she naturally resisted social
interactions.
So, even though she had helped this woman twice, Bianca didn't feel the need to know her name. Plus, she wouldn't be staying here for long, knowing that Zane and Malcolm were around.
Her first thought was to leave this place as I soon as possible. Because of that, she was even more indifferent to the woman in front of her.
Suddenly, as Bianca turned to look out the window at the blizzard, there was a sound of breaking porcelain behind her.
