When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 768


    With that, he grabbed his jacket and left the room.


    Armond’s absence from Murphy Corporation whilst he was in the hospital must have caused many


    issues.


    I did notment any further and merely wished him a safe trip. After he left, I took a seat beside the


    bed and waited for Nora to arouse from her sleep.


    Half an hourter, Nora finally awoke from her slumber. “Scarlett, you are here!” She still seemed a little


    muddled, and her voice sounded raspy.


    “How could you venture to the base all alone? It is a ce covered in dirt and mud! I thought that you


    disliked getting dirty!” I asked and helped her into a sitting position.


    “Would you trust me if I said that I did not head there alone?” she said and pinched her brows together.


    “So, you met someone elsest night? Was it someone you recognize?” I nodded and asked in shock.


    “I wasn’t exactly close with that person,” Nora replied, “I have a feeling that I’ve met the person before.”


    “What is the situation?”


    “Originally, I was picking some fruits at the yard. However, someone else was also present. I thought


    that he was someone working at the base. After a brief chat, he told me that he was more familiar with


    the other area and said that he could bring me to a ce with sweeter fruits. Thus, I decided to trust


    him,” Nora said after a brief pause.


    “So you followed him and ended up like this?” I facepalmed in frustration.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    “I had no idea as well! Why would he want to harm me when I’ve never provoked him! It was the first


    time that I visited the base!” Nora replied innocently.


    I couldn’t help but think of the past events. Maybe it wasn’t really a coincidence!


    “Have you told Armond about this matter?” I asked her.


    “I did.” Nora nodded. “He said that there were numerous workers at the base. It was normal for women


    to be preyed upon by those men.”


    Although her words were true, the incident at the base had only urred recently. Was that incident


    really a simple ident?


    Seeing that further discussion of this topic would lead to no results, we decided to halt our talk.


    When Tabitha and the others caught wind of Nora’s situation, they all dropped by to visit in the early


    afternoon.


    “Tessa, we haven’t met since thest incident. I have some questions for you,” Nora called out when


    she saw that Tessa was present.


    “What do you want to ask? Well, you could’ve called or talked about it in the group. Is everyone so


    busy?” Tabitha replied in confusion.


    “Yeah, things have been hectictely,” Nora replied with a nod of her head.


    “What do you want to talk about?” Tabitha bore a serious expression when she noticed Nora’s solemn


    gaze.


    “We are all friends who have experienced life-threatening situations together. Our encounters include


    the incident in Venria and Lavelian Vige. If we were to break our ties, then something serious must


    have happened. Otherwise, we’d always offer a helping hand to each other, right?” Nora said as she


    locked gazes with Tessa.


    Herst sentence was aimed specifically towards Tessa. Both Laurel and Tabitha nodded in agreement


    to Nora’s statement. “Yes!”


    “Nora, get straight to the point,” Tessa said with a nod of her head.


    “I’m puzzled. Didn’t you say that you were going to get the help that night? Where did the help go?”


    Nora replied.


    I thought that Nora had forgotten about this incident. Who would have expected her to remember it?


    In that split moment, her bold question left everyone stunned as they traded nces with each other.


    “That’s right! I nearly forgot about this matter!” Laurel added as she turned to address Tessa, “When


    Scarlett fell into the hole with the three of us, you told me to stay behind with Scarlett and volunteered


    to get help. Yet, you disappeared and never returned. Where on earth did you go?”


    Under the heavy scrutiny of everyone’s gazes, Tessa’s face turned ghastly pale. “I-I was too anxious


    and got lost!” she stammered nervously.


    “You, of all people, should know better than to lie. When Scarlett was rescued, you were already in the


    tents. Are you sure that you got lost? You never called for help in the first ce, did you?” Nora


    sneered.


    “Tessa, is this true? Do you know how disappointed we were?” Laurel questioned her in disbelief.


    “Aren’t you unscathed? Aren’t you safe? Why won’t you drop it?” Tessa snarled all of a sudden. Her


    ferocious gaze turned to me as sheshed out like a cornered beast.


    “Is this how you see it?” Tabitha eximed agitatedly. “Tessa, are you joking right now? We see you as


    our close friend. Yet, you treat us like a bunch of fools. I can’t believe that you have the audacity to


    continue preaching about your so-called morals and values! You turned a blind eye when you could


    have called for help!”
