Chapter 534

Right then, in Elmsworth.

Nydia stood alone in front of the Elmsworth Police Station, her jaws clenched tight, as she mustered the courage to step inside.

“Miss, are you here to file a report?” a female officer greeted her.

Nydia nodded vigorously and asked in a soft voice, “Excuse me, is Captain Aaron available?”

Aaron had been swamped with work for two straight days and nights, and was now catching some Zs in the duty room.

When he got word that Nydia had come looking for him, he shot up like a fish jumping out of water and went out to greet her. Inside the office.

Nydia and Aaron sat across from each other, the girl’s fingers interlaced and twisting nervously, her knuckles turning white. “Nydia, what’s got you coming down here all of a sudden? is something wrong?” Aaron’s gaze was sharp and probing, but his tone was full of concern.

Though they were half–siblings, Nydia, ever so gentle and shy, had always followed in the shadow of her older sister, Evadne, outshined by her brilliance. But Aaron never played favorites, always treating her just like his own sister. Whenever he returned from a trip, he’d bring back the same gifts for Nydia as he did for Evadne

But as they grew older, they naturally drifted apart. Nydia, reserved and introverted, never reached out to her brothers as Evadne did. So, to an outsider, their relationship seemed less intimate.
