Chapter 5

Author: Canal
When Audrey returned to Nathan's ER bed, her steps were still a little unsteady.

The doctor flipped through the two examination reports in his hands before addressing her. "Ms. Collins, you need plenty of rest after a miscarriage. As for Mr. Cole, he only has a soft tissue injury to his ankle. There's no damage to the bone, so he can go home and rest."

Audrey let out a long, weary breath as the tension finally left her shoulders. Just then, her phone screen lit up with a message from me.

    Meanwhile, Audrey tried messaging me. "Can we meet tomorrow?" A red exclamation mark appeared beside her message, indicating that it hadn't gone through. She sent another message, only to get the same result. During one of our arguments, I'd once snapped that I refused to block her because I wanted to leave myself a little backdoor in case I ever wanted to crawl back to her. She'd laughed at me for being so hopeless.Over the past few days, she'd always found some excuse to send me another message. Had I received the refund? Was my back still hurting? Had I read her letters? Now, even that tiny opening was gone. Audrey grabbed her car keys and rushed to the area near my office. Through the café window, she spotted Nathan sitting across from me. The moment I stood up, she stormed inside, shoved Nathan aside as he stood in the aisle, and grabbed my arm. "What did he say to you?" Nathan caught himself against the edge of the table and protested, "Audrey, this was his own

    As I was leaving work the next evening, Nathan was waiting for me outside the office. He'd lost some weight, and the moment he saw me step out of the building, he moved in front of me, blocking my way."Vincent, we need to talk." "We have nothing to talk about."He glanced at my coworkers as they began filing out of the building, then raised his voice slightly. "You don't want everyone here finding out what really happened between the three of us, do you?" I stopped walking and looked him straight in the eye."You're making it sound like I'm the one who should be ashamed." His expression stiffened for a moment, but he still refused to move aside. I pointed toward the café across the street. "You have 20 minutes. When we're done, don't come to my workplace again."Once we sat down, Nathan pulled a copy of a pregnancy test report from his bag, then slowly folded it along its existing creases. "The baby is gone, and now even Audrey refuses to see me." He let out a bitter

    The moment the door closed, Mom turned to me, worry etched across her face. "What on earth happened? Audrey is such a catch. How could you just send her away?" I stared at the bag of asparagus scattered across the table, struggling to find the words."Mom, we broke up. She cheated on me with Nathan. She even got pregnant with his child, but miscarried."Mom's outstretched hand froze in midair. "Nathan? Nathan Cole? The one who used to come over to our house all the time?" I nodded, my throat tightening as I fought to keep my emotions in check. "She even put his name on the deed to the house we bought together. Mom, I don't want to go back to Northbridge anymore." Only after the words left my mouth did I realize that saying them aloud hadn't been nearly as difficult as I'd expected. Mom stood frozen for a good 30 seconds before tears filled her eyes. "She never used to be like this…" She pulled me into her arms, her voice trembling with disbelief. "She never even let

    During my first week back in my hometown, I deleted the alarm I'd set for one in the morning, the time Audrey usually finished work. I'd gotten used to splitting my sleep into two stretches, so I wouldn't miss her video calls. Now, at 10:30 pm, Mom would knock on my bedroom door and scold me, "You can finish your work tomorrow. Do you think electricity grows on trees?" But even as she scolded me, she was already standing outside my room with a freshly sun-dried comforter, waiting for me to turn in early.I shut down my computer. For the first time, there was no one I needed to stay up waiting for. After canceling my transfer to Northbridge, I applied for an opening at the branch in my hometown. The position was still in project planning, but there were fewer projects to handle, and the pay was slightly lower. My supervisor asked if I was sure about my decision. "Once this transfer is approved, you'll have to apply all over again if you want to transfer to Northbridge."

    Audrey's heart clenched as a wave of inexplicable panic swept over her without warning. Clutching the string tightly, she hurried outside. Nathan called after her, but she didn't stop, merely calling back, "The car's at the side entrance. The driver will take you home." …The apartment was eerily quiet when she returned. "Vincent, I'm back." Only silence greeted her. My suitcase was gone, and the half of the closet she'd cleared out for me stood empty. She opened the bedside drawer, only to find that even the charging cable I'd left behind was gone. Pulling up our chat history, she sent me a voice message. "Didn't you say you'd wait until I got back? Why did you take all your things? How are you supposed to report to the company on Monday? You just transferred to Northbridge, and now you're already missing?" After sending the message, she went through the trash again, but the bag containing the discarded letters had already been replaced. Still crouched beside the

"Don't rush back to meet me. I'm never coming back, either." She froze for a moment before immediately calling me, but my phone was switched off. Nathan caught sight of the message and tugged at her sleeve. "Vincent is just angry right now. You two made it through three years of a long-distance relationship. Do you really think he'd be willing to break up with you now?" The furrow between Audrey's brows gradually eased. "That's true. He spent more than six months preparing to transfer to N
