No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 636

Ernest had a frosty exterior, but he wasn't heartless. Especially since I was practically begging him for help.

Even if he had fallen out of love with me, he shouldn't have just stood by, yet he did just that, watching Conrad being mauled by an alligator without lifting a finger. There had to be a reason.

I had spent a month replaying every single moment of that day when Ernest met his fate, searching for answers.

If I couldn't find the reason in Ernest, then the problem must lie with Conrad.

Conrad furrowed his brows, "You're asking me?"

I glanced at his arm, which never seemed to heal, "He must have had a reason not to save you."

"What are you implying?" His tone turned icy.

"I'm wondering why he didn't save you. You two were allies, united against Henrik and Brown. Yet, when you were in danger, he just stood by and watched. Doesn't that strike you as odd?"

My words made Conrad stiffen slightly, "I'm puzzled too, but now he can't provide any answers."
