No Strings Attached - Chapter 180
Chapter 180
Just as she was about to speak, Clam heard the unmistakable ringtone of lan’s cell phone cutting through the air.
Aglimpse of the caller ID showed Edwin. lan’s expression soured as he reluctantly hit the answer button, prepared to declare
catastrophe If it wasn’t crucial. Yet it was Heidi’s piercing walls that erupted from the other side, so shrill that Clara, standing
beside him, could hear every note of distress.
Clara’s fingers, hanging limply at her side, involuntarily curled into a fist. This wasn’t the first time Clara had heard Heidi cry over
the phone like this. Back before Clam and lan had called it quits, it was a common occurrence.
lan used to dash off to Heidi’s side no matter how late or what he was in the middle of doing. Even if Clara herself had been the
one calling for help, he never seemed to be able to make time for her.
The bitterness of those dark days crept onto Clara’s lips as she forced a wry smile and quickened her pace, wheeling her
luggage away.
Upon hearing Heidi’s voice, lan immediately thought to hang up, but then he heard Heidi say, “lan, Mrs. Leonora got hit by a car,
while she was trying to save Grandma Rose. They’re both in the emergency room now. Hurry up and come over”
lan’s voice changed upon hearing this. “How is Grandma Rose?”
Without so much as a goodbye to Clara, lan’s figure disappeared into the bustling crowd of the airport terminal, his urgency
palpable.
For a moment, Clara’s gaze froze on his retreating back. She had thought lan had changed, and he wouldn’t fall back into Heidi’s
orbit as he had so adamantly voiced. But it wasn’t him who had changed. She had simply been naive.
Heidi had been right. Even without the bonds of an engagement, the longstanding friendship between their families remained, as
did the life debt that bound lan to her. With those ties, lan could never fully let Heidi go.
Aself—deprecating chuckle escaped Clara’s lips as she turned to Anders. “Ryker’s here to pick us up, let’s go, she said,
dismissing the scene behind her.
lan arrived at the hospital to find Grandma Rose already out of danger, suffering nothing more than a broken leg. But Leonora
was another story—unconscious with a severe head injury post-surgery, leaving lan with a nagging suspicion that there was more
to this accident.
His father had just dropped the divorce bomb on his mother, and he was planning to ask about Helena when, at this pivotal
moment, his mother ended up injured while saving Grandma Rose. The timing seemed too convenient, too coincidental
Once he managed the situation at hand, he decided to make a personal visit to the police station to find out more.
