Chapter 1266
When Love Comes Late
Mileyâs newfound bravery faltered.
She peered through the doorâs glass panel.
There lay Neville, unconscious, with Susie holding his hand at his bedside.
It was like waking from a dream.
Mileyâs eyes left the scene, her mouth twitching slightly.
She made the difficult decision to walk away.
Neville was engaged to Susie now.
Their own story had ended.
Even if she discovered why he broke up with her, what future could they possibly have?
Dazed, Miley turned to leave but then saw Nevilleâs parents in the corridor.
Before she could prepare herself, Amyaâs angry words struck her.
âYouâre a curse.
Havenât you caused Neville enough trouble? Why are you still here? Do you want to keep hurting my son?â
Hurleyâs expression grew stern, his voice harsh.
âI once thought you were sensible.
Clearly, I was mistaken.
Your actions have brought shame to the Pierce family!â
Unfairly chastised and facing Nevilleâs parents, Miley felt upset but chose not to argue.
She replied evenly, âI just wanted to see Neville and thank him for saving my life.
I apologize for any inconvenience.
â
As she turned to leave, Amya persisted, blocking her path with a piercing gaze.
âYou fooled us with your seemingly sensible demeanor.
Youâre nothing but opportunistic.
I thought youâd leave after the breakup with Neville.
But here you are, causing a scene on his engagement day.
What kind of upbringing leads someone to act so maliciously?â
Miley intended to exit quietly, but Amyaâs harsh words escalated.

Unable to bear it any longer, she finally spoke up.
âNeville and I genuinely loved each other.
He left due to some secret pain.
A misunderstandings lie between us, and I wonât abandon our relationship until itâs cleared.
â
Then, unexpectedly, another womanâs voice chimed in from behind.
âYou mentioned a misunderstanding with Neville.
Iâd like to know what that is.
â
Miley, hearing the voice, turned to see Susie at the door, her smile flawless.
Susie had overheard the commotion and recognized Amyaâs voice.
She stepped out just in time to catch Mileyâs words.
Amyaâs demeanor changed noticeably upon seeing Susie.
Brushing past Miley, she approached Susie with concern.
âSusie, have you been here all night? Do you need a break?â
Susie replied calmly, âIâm fine.
I want to talk to Neville once heâs awake.
â
Her eyes flicked towards Miley, but Mileyâs expression remained unchanged.
Sensing an opportunity to mend the engagement, Amya quickly turned her focus back to Miley, her voice harsh.
