Chapter 92

Sensing the shift in Sharon’s tone, Wendy lowered her voice.

“Sharon, no matter how you look at it, Kelly tried to take her own life because of what I said. Even if I’m your friend, it’s not unreasonable for him to come looking for an explanation.”

Wendy was usually the one to flare up at the smallest spark. But today, she was surprisingly calm.

“She gambled with her life and ended up in the emergency room, going through all that pain. And me? All I had to do was offer a half-hearted apology. Honestly, I got off easy-if anything, I came out ahead.”

She paused before adding, “Don’t blame Carter. If it weren’t for your sake, there’s no way this would’ve ended so cleanly.”

Sharon knew Wendy was right. But still, there was a heaviness lodged in her chest that wouldn’t budge.

She glanced at the bruises on Wendy’s face. “But… your injuries-”

“They weren’t from Carter. Every debt has its debtor. This one’s not his to carry.”

Wendy looked at her, gaze steady and serious.

“Sharon, maybe this was Kelly’s goal all along. Don’t fall for it.”

Sharon didn’t reply.
