Chapter 376

Saving the Baby Abby spun out of control momentarily after I blocked her arm. As a result, the baby slipped from her grasp.

The crowd exclaimed in shock, “Oh no, the baby!”

I instinctively lunged forward to catch the baby. My only thought was to ensure the baby’s safety.

As I caught the baby, I twisted my body to protect him from the impact. I didn’t want to fall on him either.

However, I exerted too much force and fell backward with a dull thud. A searing pain shot up my arm, and my head collided with the ground.

I clutched the baby to my chest, feeling pain throughout my body. Everything had transpired so quickly that I barely had time to react. Soon, I heard Melanie scream, “My son!”

“Chlo!” Ryan was the first to kneel before me. “Chlo…”

c The baby in my arms began to cry, prompting Melanie to snatch him from me. The onlookers gathered.

around me, expressing their relief and concern.

“Thank God the baby’s fine! That was too close!”

“It would’ve been dangerous if the baby fell. Those two owe it to this lady.”

“Are you injured? You fell pretty hard.”

They chattered nervously, craning their necks to check on me. The pain in my arm became unbearable, as I lay on the ground. Ryan looked at me in distress, unsure of what to do. He hesitated to move me, asking, “Chlo, are you okay?”

“Are you injured? The fall was pretty heavy–you must’ve gotten hurt,” Someone nearby expressed concern, “Let’s not move her just yet. Take it easy.”

“Hurry, call a doctor!”

I took a deep breath, feeling a bit uncertain. I looked at Ryan, mustering a weak smile. “I-”

“Quit acting tough. My mother wouldn’t have dropped my son if you didn’t push her,” Melanie spoke without gratitude.

Her words angered everyone around. “What the hell are you saying? You’re heartless!”

“We saw everything. Don’t you have a conscience? I can’t believe you’re saying that!“.

“You provoked them. Who knows what would’ve happened if that lady hadn’t risked her life to save your “What were you thinking, trying to hit someone while holding a baby?”

I felt a sharp pain in my right arm, familiar with what I had experienced last time. Frustrated, I closed my eyes and told Ryan, “Help me up. My arm doesn’t feel right…”

“Is v your leg okay? You just recovered, and it’s all my fault…” He looked guilty and even had tears in his eyes. It was the first time I had seen a man care so much. It touched my heart.

Noel, who had been nearby, crouched and asked, “Ms. Chloe, are you okay?”

“My arm doesn’t feel right, but my leg is fine,” I replied softly.

While everyone tended to me, Melanie tugged at her mother and attempted to leave.

Someone spotted them and shouted, “Hey, where are you fwo going?! She got injured while saving your baby, and you still have the nerve to walk away?”

“My goodness, what kind of people are they?”

As Ryan and Noel helped me, I said to everyone, “Let them go.”

I didn’t want to see those two anymore. After all, everyone witnessed what had happened. There was no point in arguing. Upon hearing my stance, the crowd yelled at the two, “You’d better leave!”

“Who told her to act like a bitch?” Abby said indignantly.

Noel pointed at Melanie and Abby. “If I weren’t a man, I’d slap you both. You’ll pay for this! Everyone saw what happened.” He waved his assistant over. Come here.”
