Chapter 691

"Whitney..." Ludwik's voice was low and somber, his breathing heavy as he gripped his phone tighter, "You saw everything, didn't you?"

Whitney's cheeks burned with an awkward flush. She wished she could say she hadn't.

Her fingers trembled slightly as she steeled herself, "Look... as a doctor, I don't have any other thoughts about it. And it wasn't my fault, so why are you asking me?" Ludwik felt a pang of pain in his heart.

She was so calm about it, distancing herself since it wasn't her doing.

"Right, I'm not blaming you." His voice was restrained, his thin lips barely moving, "Since you know, I guess I don't have a place in your life anymore."

Whitney was surprised, knowing his usual temperament, he'd never let her go easily.

Could it really be that bad... Had his fiery spirit softened?

She wanted to ask how he ended up like this, if someone in the detention center had targeted him.

But she bit her tongue, fearing he might think she cared.

And wouldn't that just be rubbing salt in his wounds?

"Whitney, I didn't call to cause trouble. I actually wanted to warn you... Do you know who was behind my injury?"

"You mean Bryce?" Whitney blurted out, her voice cooling slightly.

Ludwik paused, his words stuck in his throat.

Perhaps the boy who cried wolf had been too many, and she simply didn't believe him anymore.

He knew the more he tried to warn her, the more she'd suspect him of sowing discord.

But he believed the truth would come out eventually.
