Chapter 55
Hearing the knock on the door, George locked the tablet screen and put on his
glasses. “What's the matter?”
“Mr. Lambert, it's getting late. You should rest.” Paige opened the study door a
crack, reminding quietly, “Tomorrow morning, Dr. Hoffman will come over to do a
checkup for you and Ryan.”
“Okay, I heard you.” George turned to tell Paige, “Good night!”
Nathan was also sleepless tonight.
He had been discharged from the hospital and returned to the Franklin
Residence.
He knew that the second episode of “Looking For Family” was broadcasting
tonight and that Audrey had gone on the program.
During the broadcast of the program, he had been video chatting with Amelia,
accompanying her to memorize her script.
After Amelia switched off the lights and went to bed, Nathan couldn't help but
click on the video.
He didn’t expect Audrey to say such words on the second episode of the
program.
Nathan saw videos of Audrey's award-winning speeches during school in the
trending topics and
comments section.
In the videos, the young face with a high ponytail in his memory was full of vitality
as she called attention to human trafficking and called for an increase in the
buyer's sentence.
Both her native and foreign speeches were eloquent. Audrey shone on the
podium, sonorous and firm.
Nathan finally understood why Audrey had such a big reaction when he had
called her “Autrey” that day and had said she was a rapist's child. It turned out to
be a wound in her heart that couldn't be
healed in her life.
Her biological mother had been trafficked and had died due to trafficking That
was why she had been working hard all these years to increase the sentence for
buyers of human trafficking.
On the screen, with red eyes, Audrey held the microphone and continued, “Even
though my mother has passed away, I want to tell her I'm living a good life now.
Although she is not with me, Aunt Anne takes good care of me and gives me
motherly love like a biological mother.”
Nathan unconsciously retracted his legs from the coffee table as he stared
intently at the screen.
Did Anne give her the same love as a... biological mother?
He thought of the slap Audrey had given him at the morgue that day, which had
made his ears ring.
So, was he considered... to have indirectly killed Audrey's other mother?
A mother’s significance was different from that of an aunt.

Nathan fidgeted with his phone, feeling distressed.
His anger over Audrey slapping him and pushing Amelia dissipated.
