Chapter 328 The Star

• Natalia had spent an hour in custody after giving her statement. The authorities had made it clear that leaving immediately would be difficult; the cases she was involved in were not in her favor, and she would need to wait for updates.
• It made little difference to her. She had been through worse, seen more pain than most, and nothing terrified her at that moment—except for Patrick.
• If anything happened to Patrick because of her, how could she ever repay him? No matter how much she scolded him for meddling, she felt indebted to him. No one owed her such devotion, no one was supposed to risk death for her. Her iron heart had softened in the face of his selfless protection.
