Crawling Back To Her Series Redemption and Refuse

Book9 Chapter1.

It's been seven days since I woke up in the hospital, with no one by my side except the nurse.

Thinking about the fiancé who had left me behind, My eyes darkened a bit.

I grabbed my phone, which had run out of battery, borrowed a charger, and turned it on. There was no message from Ethan. Just as I was about to turn it off, I saw Ethan's name flashing on the screen.

As soon as I answered, his accusatory voice pierced through:

"Claire, what are you trying to pull now? In that situation, Vanessa has a heart condition, what was wrong with me taking her away? We were already rescued, there was going to be a second team of rescuers. Why didn't you just follow them back? I had to leave because I had a billion-dollar project at the company. Your job doesn't pay much, so what are you so upset about? You haven't answered my calls for days!"

I listened calmly as he poured out his frustrations, there wasn't a hint of concern in his voice, only accusations, every word was talking down to me while defending Vanessa.

When he finally finished pouring, I hoarsely said, "I'm in the hospital..."

But before I could finish, he interrupted:

"Claire, can you stop using such pathetic tricks to get my attention?
