Meeting The One For Me ( Nathan Franklin ) novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52 

Audrey unzipped her jacket, revealing her thin, bony body in a vest. “The only reason I survived was so I could scare other girls who were born.” 

Nobody could imagine that Audrey had so many hideous scars on her body under such a beautiful face. 

Keyboard warriors, who had seen Audrey’s nude photos and mocked her as a masochist and bitch, fell 

silent. 

The photos on the big screen changed again, showing a little girl with a dirty face, brittle hair, and at skinny body full of terrible injuries. However, her eyes were bright. 

The scars on Audrey’s body and the fresh, bloody wounds on the little girl in the photo created a huge visual impact. 

“This was me when I escaped Sayeno Town with my mother.” Audrey glanced at the screen. 

She continued calmly, “At the time, because my mother had given birth to girls consecutively, the Yeomanses started inserting steel needles into my body when my mother was pregnant for the ninth and last time. 

“There were a total of 29 steel needles in my body by the time I escaped. The Yeomanses reckoned this was the only way to deter female fetuses.” 

Audrey’s words sent a shiver down the audience’s spine. She calmly zipped up her down jacket. 

“Ridiculously, although he was a buyer of human trafficking and an abuser of abducted women, Wayne was safe and sound! He went to jail for killing six newborn baby girls but was released after only seven years in prison. 

“More than ten years later, the maximum sentence for a buyer in human trafficking today is only three years. For the purchase and sale of protected animals, the buyer and seller are jointly sentenced, starting from ten years, and a maximum life sentence. Even for parrots, the buyer and seller are jointly sentenced! 

“When it comes to human trafficking, buyers and sellers are typical joint offenders. How can a buyer 

“It’s and the longest–term abuser be let off with such a light sentence?” Audrey added loud/y because there’s been a custom of buying and selling people in our country for decades!” 

“On today’s program, I hope to call attention to the unreasonable sentences regarding human trafficking.” Audrey’s eyes were calm as she finally said what she’d wanted to say most. 

“To crack down on human trafficking, we must first curb the buyers. The market for sellers thrives because the penalty for buyers is too light! Only by raising the buyer penalty to an intimidating level can human trafficking be reduced! If there is no demand, there won’t be crime!” 

“Well said!” Daphne cheered. She stood up with damp eyes, clapping vigorously. 

She turned to look at Audrey, who had a smile on her face. She never knew her colleague was such a

mentally strong person. 

So this was why Audrey had to go on the program! 

The restaurant’s guests also applauded. 

Azure smiled, her eyes brimming with tears. She stroked Harper’s head and squeezed Audrey’s 

shoulder. 

The camera swept across the audience in the studio. Everyone was teary as they applauded 

thunderously. 

Audrey lowered her head and smiled at Harper, who was holding her hand tightly. Tears welled up in Harper’s beautiful big eyes. She was aware of Audrey’s past and had always known how brave and strong her older sister was. 

If she was as brave and strong as Audrey, her mother could rest in peace! 

Harper wiped her tears with the back of her hand and held Audrey’s arm tightly. Glancing at the last image of Anne on the TV screen, she made up her mind to live a good life so Anne wouldn’t worry 

about her. 

“Looking For Family” was not over yet. 

“Finally, I want to say to the children of abductees like me… “Audrey’s eyes were red, yet her voice was sonorous. “If your mother is lucky enough to escape alive, please don’t drag them back to the memories of hell!‘ 

While she was in the coma for two years, Audrey had the same dream. In her dream, she wanted to return to the past to save her mother and take her away from Sayeno Town. 

Even if that meant she wouldn’t have been born, all she wanted was to save her mother.
