Chapter 8

It was then that everyone reacted. They pushed Caroline over frantically and wiped the porridge off Layla. But even so, her scalp was burning. Her tears fell in large drops on the ground.

The nurse barked, “Who are you? Do you know who you’ve angered?”

Caroline replied coldly, “I’m Eddy’s fiancée.”

Everyone was stunned. They began looking at Layla with different eyes.

Layla panicked before she began explaining anxiously, “Your engagement was just a formality. There was no relationship at all. What Eddy and I have is true love. Could you give him back to me?”

Everyone looked at Caroline in disdain.

Caroline scoffed. What a bitch her cousin was.

She crossed her arms and said calmly, “Since your relationship is so pure, why hasn’t Eddy nullified our engagement in front of Grandpa? Could he be lying to you?”

Layla’s face was distorted. Many people were around, and she had to maintain her composure. She bit her lip. “I know you’re upset because you have to donate your kidney to save me, Caroline. I know. I’ll kill myself so that you won’t be upset anymore.”

Then, she wheeled herself toward a pillar and crashed into it.

Back then, Caroline would back down. But she was no longer the person she was before.

She said breezily, “Okay, crash into it again. Harder, alright? It’s best if you die anyway. When that time comes, everyone, including Grandpa, will know of all the shameless things that you and Eddy have done!”

Layla paused in her actions. She couldn’t keep crashing into the pillar, but she couldn’t back down either. She had not expected that Caroline, who used to care about Eddy so much, would say something like that.

She tightened her fists, threw herself off the wheelchair, and began crawling toward Caroline.

“It’s not what you think it is, Caroline. Eddy only arranged for me to stay in the hospital because he pitied me. Nothing is going on between us! Honest!”
