"Charles Northwood?"
Nia Mitchell broke down crying, mumbling his name over and over.
At that moment, Charles Northwood was out for a morning run. He halted when he received the call.
"What happened?"
Hearing Nia's tearful voice, his brow furrowed instantly.
Did Maxwell Peary treat her badly?
"Don't cry. Tell me, what happened?" Charles Northwood urged, his voice laced with worry.
Hearing Charles Northwood's anxious voice, Nia Mitchell began to cry even harder, her sobs becoming uncontrollable.
"Nia, please stop crying and talk to me."
He stood there, his expression dark, completely losing his usual gentle and refined composure.
"I'm in D City," Nia Mitchell finally managed to say.
Charles Northwood paused, surprised; he hadn't expected her to return.
Hadn't she said she would never return in this lifetime?
"Alright. What happened?"
