Chapter 1161

“It’s not what you think, Miley.

” Neville was desperate to clarify but was at a loss for words.

“Go home, and I’ll explain everything later, okay?”

“If you can’t explain now, there’s no need,” Miley said softly, yet with a hint of despair.

She jerked her hand away from Neville’s grip, and looked him in the eye.

“Let’s break up.

”

After she said that, Miley quickly turned and ran off.

She feared that any longer there, and she’d burst into tears in front of Neville.

“Miley… Miley!” Neville called after her, but Miley didn’t stop.

She just kept running.

Neville made a move to follow her, but a sharp pain shot through his thigh, making him gasp.

Noticing his discomfort, Susie rushed to his aid.

As Neville caught his breath, he saw Miley getting into a car.

He stood there, frozen, unable to follow.

Stella, clearly upset with Neville, shot a glare at Susie’s helping hand and then hurried after Miley.

Once they were gone, Susie turned to Neville, concern in her voice.

“Are you alright? Do you need me…”

Snapping out of it, Neville brushed off her hand.

“You said too much earlier.

”

“I was only speaking the truth,” Susie replied, sounding hurt.

Neville’s tone was icy as he reminded her, “I already turned you down yesterday.

I’ve repaid any debt I owed you.

Let’s hope we can go our separate ways after today.

”

“I…” Susie was about to speak when suddenly, a loud car horn cut her off.

Neville turned around and saw Matthew in the driver’s seat.

Ignoring Susie, he hobbled towards Matthew’s car, wincing as he climbed in.

He settled into the seat with a mix of relief and bitterness.

“What brings you here? Sorry you had to see all this.

”

Matthew responded lightly, “Stella was around, so I dropped by.

I tried reaching you all night, but no luck.

”

Neville forced a wry smile.

“My phone died.

”

Curiosity laced Matthew’s voice as he glanced at Neville’s leg.

“What happened to your leg? How’d you end up like this?”

Leaning back, Neville closed his eyes and recounted the previous night’s events.

“Damn it! If only I’d known better, I wouldn’t have gotten involved.

Now look at this mess!”

Matthew paused, his gaze briefly resting on Susie still standing there.

He squinted thoughtfully, then said, “I’ll handle Damon’s issue.

Now, we’re getting you to a hospital.

At the hospital, a doctor was checking Neville over.
