Chapter 377

How Unlucky Everyone was too focused on me to realize Noel’s assistant had recorded everything Noel told Melanie, FIl show you what a lack of conscience looks like. I’m a journalist, and I’ve recorded everything you just did. IT! ensure everyone sees your true colors.”

The crowd roared in agreement. “Expose them! They’re ugly on the outside and even uglier on the inside!”

Noel organized the onlookers, saying, “Let’s question them now to prevent them from twisting the truth!”

Melanie dared not utter another word and quickly left with Abby. The two were humiliated by the crowd’s condemnation. Those who had gathered continued to chastise them.

Ryan looked pained as he said, “Let me take you to a doctor. Try moving to see if you feel discomfort anywhere Indeed, my arm hurt. With Ryan’s support, I moved my legs and felt fine. Soon after, I held my arm and went to a doctor under everyone’s care. When the test results came out, I felt like the most unlucky person in the world.

I had a minor fracture in my forearm from saving the baby. I couldn’t help but jest about my situation. I hadn’t even been discharged yet and was back in the hospital again. Still, Noel recorded everything that had happened.

I felt luck was not on my side as the nurses returned me to my ward after having my arm cast. I was about to go home but somehow couldn’t leave.

Noel asked me, “Why did you take such a risk?”

I smiled, “I am a mother, and that was a baby. How could I let the baby fall? He was so small.”

“But the baby was the son of someone you had a feud with, right? They were cursing you so harshly.”

“I didn’t overthink it. It doesn’t matter who the other person is because the baby’s innocent.” That was my perspective genuine perspective. “If I put myself in their shoes, I would’ve felt terrible if my baby had fallen.”

“But you’re severely injured because of that. Do you have any regrets?” Noel’s question was intriguing, but I found it somewhat childish. I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Why would I? My pain is nothing compared to what the baby would’ve suffered. He’s so young and still unable to express himself. How could I let him experience such pain? I’d do the same again if needed.

I’m an adult and a mother. There’s no other choice for me,” I answered confidently, not realizing he was I didn’t feel too bad about my injuries, but Ryan was remorseful. He couldn’t bear to see me get hurt right, especially considering I was about to be discharged.

After seeing Noel and the onlookers who had helped us off, Ryan was regretful as he said, “Chlo, it’s all my fault.”

I smiled and looked at his gloomy face. “Why are you blaming yourself? It was Melanie’s fault. She’s aggressive and impossible to guard against. It’s all my fault for wanting to go home. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have run into that madwoman.”

I patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t overthink it. Maybe this is my tribulation. Perhaps my life will improve after everything I’ve suffered.”

*I feel so sorry for you. How could you encounter such a family? I should’ve been more resolute and confessed my feelings to you before Matthew did. I…” Ryan held my hand, “Chlo, can you give me a chance to care for you?”

I chuckled, but my heart ached. I intentionally teased Ryan, “I ended up like this from you caring for me.”

He blushed instantly, looking pained. “I… well, I…”

Since he took my words seriously, I continued, “It’s not your fault. These are the disasters destined for me. I didn’t have many thoughts when I chose Matthew. I just found him attractive and considerate of me. No one expected him to be a cheater.”

I Ryan held my hand tightly. “If I had been braver and confessed to you back then, would you have.

considered me?”

His palm was sweaty as he looked at me nervously.
