Rebirth and Finding the One Truly Loves Me

Chapter 440 Return

The fire was engulfed in billowing smoke.

Shawn's pupils contracted sharply.

Before there was any time to react, the No. 9 sub-fortress erupted with a deafening boom.

“Sterling!”

Shawn shouted loudly and was thrown away by a tremendous force.

As the buzzing sound filled my ears, by the time | reacted, the surrounding outposts had already been bombed into flat ground.

Shawn was injured and he struggled to stand up from the ground, his handsome features tightly drawn as he looked at the devastated island.

After the 9th castle was bombed, it quickly collapsed without even giving them a chance to search, and a wave of seawater surged in.

Shawn's legs went weak, and his subordinate came over and dragged him away. Soon, the place where he had just stood was engulfed by the sea.

After carrying Aurora to a safe place, Deon came over and saw only Shawn alone. His pupils contracted slightly, “Mr. Goodwin, where is our young master?”

Shawn closed his eyes and hoarsely instructed, “Quickly arrange people to search in the sea!” Although he knew that Sterling had little chance of success, he

couldn’t give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

Upon hearing Shawn’s words, Deon felt a chill run down his spine, and his face turned pale. Boom! A loud noise.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Audrey woke up from a nightmare.

Athin layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead as she glanced out of the window. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, a storm was about to come.

These days, she couldn't sleep well, and she had a vague feeling that something was about to happen! | turned on the light and picked up my phone from the bedside table to take a quick glance.

It had been three days since Sterling gave her the note.

He never contacted her again.

That day, the note said: “Fake breakup, knowing that she has ill intentions, will handle it as soon as possible, we will temporarily act as strangers!”

She didn’t know what he had discovered and would tell her that Anika had malicious intentions. But there was always a feeling of unease in my heart.

He.

wrote on a piece of paper, “Let's be strangers for now.”

If she had contacted him proactively, it would have probably disrupted

his plan!

Audrey got out of bed and walked to the kitchen to pour herself a cup

of warm water.

Not long after, small raindrops fell.

The rain hit the window, making a pitter—patter sound.

Audrey stood by the window, watching as the city gradually became blurred by the mist, feeling increasingly uneasy in her heart. Audrey stood by the window for a long time.

The sky turned pale, and she moved her body slightly, feeling numbness in both legs.

She walked over to the sofa and lay down.

The mobile phone rang abruptly.

Upon receiving a call from Hannah, Audrey appeared slightly puzzled.

Does Hannah rarely call her in the early morning? Is there something important?

Audrey dared not delay and immediately pressed the answer button.

“Audra, come to the city hospital!”

Audrey's heart skipped a beat, “What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

“It’s not me, | just received a call from Shawn. She asked me to call you and tell you to go to the hospital as soon as possible!” Audrey didn’t ask any further questions, she simply said “okay” and hung up the phone. Chapter 440 Return

After changing her clothes and freshening up, Audrey drove to the hospital without stopping.

Hannah arrived a few minutes earlier than Audrey. She waited at the entrance of the hospital department and when she saw Audrey, she quickly walked over and said, “Audrey, you’re here!”

Audrey nodded, “What exactly happened? Was it Sterling who...” When it came to Sterling, Audrey had a love-hate relationship with. him. After Anika came back, he truly did hurt her feelings.

Although she later found out that he might have been acting, he didn’t tell her in advance, which caused her to shed many tears for him.

She was really annoyed!

She had also thought that after he dealt with this matter, she would give him the cold shoulder for a while, or they would separate for a period of time.

Let him taste the feeling of sadness and discomfort!

However, the thought of him possibly being injured made her extremely anxious. Whether hating him or being annoyed with him, all in all, | hope he can live well! Hannah grabbed Audrey’s hand and said, “We would know once we went up.”

When Hannah received Shawn’s call, she was still sleeping. In a drowsy state, she felt a bit annoyed by being awakened until Shawn mentioned that he was at the hospital and asked her to quickly inform

Chapter 440 Retum Audrey to go to the hospital. Only then did she completely lose her sleepiness.

Shawn's voice sounded a bit weak over the phone, not as clear and crisp as usual. She didn’t dare to neglect it and immediately called Audrey.

Hannah took Audrey to the VIP ward on the sixth floor. Hannah and Audrey stopped and looked inside through the window, after finding the room number Shawn had mentioned.

There were many people standing in the ward, and there was a thin figure lying on the bed, but she was blocked by someone, so her appearance couldn't be seen clearly.

Hannah knocked on the door.

The door was opened by Shawn’s confidant, “Madam.”

Upon hearing the words “Madam*, Hannah awkwardly murmured and then whispered, “Just call me Hannah!”

She had a secret marriage with Shawn, and she had never met his family. She couldn’t live up to the title of a young mistress. While Hannah and Shawn were talking, Audrey walked into the ward.

After the doctor and nurse finished examining the person in the hospital bed, they stepped back. Audrey walked over and carefully looked at the emaciated woman lying on the bed.

The pupils suddenly contracted violently.

Audrey covered her mouth with her small hand, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Chapter 440 Retu

Walking to the edge of the bed with weak legs, | suddenly collapsed onto the bed and grabbed the woman’s bony hand. “Is it... Mom?”

The woman slowly opened her eyes, her calm and serene eyes, and upon seeing Audrey’s appearance, a surge of emotions welled up.

She gripped Audrey’s hand back, her voice croaking hoarsely.

Audrey saw the woman unable to speak, so she grabbed her hand and quickly checked her pulse. The woman had many problems, big and small, on her body.

She couldn’t speak, she must have been drugged by someone,

Audrey's heart was still pounding now, unable to calm down. After glancing at the woman, she ran into the adjacent restroom and washed. her face with cold water.

Forcing myself to calm down, | rechecked her pulse.

After nearly five minutes had passed, Audrey asked the nurse for a pen. and paper.

| wrote a prescription and handed it to Shawn’s confidant, “Can you help me buy some medicine and cook it for me?” “Sure.”

After Audrey said thank you, she walked back to the bedside.

She looked at the woman with red eyes and trembling lips, and said, “Mom, | am Audra.”

Although she had never seen her mother since she was young, when

she caught a glimpse of her, she did not feel unfamiliar. On the contrary, she felt quite familiar and warm.

Aurora lifted her thin hand and wiped away the tears from Audrey’s face, shaking her head at her to indicate not to cry. Audrey buried her little face in Aurora’s palm, unable to calm down her excitement and joy.

Aurora’s body was still very weak. She woke up for a short while and then fell back into a deep sleep.

Audrey stared at her sleeping face for a while, walked out of the ward, and saw Hannah standing in the corridor. She anxiously asked, “Where is Mr. Goodwin? Where was my mother found, and is Sterling also in the hospital?
