Before the startled Fabiola could reply, she heard Hanley add, “Also, did you get hurt…? I hope that incident didn’t frighten you too much…”
…He still cared so much about her at a time like this…
It took her a while, but she eventually clenched her fists before snapping, “…You fool…! You could’ve died back there, you know…?! Do you know how much guilt I would’ve suffered had that happened…!? I… I hate you…! I really hate you…!”
By this point, tears were already streaming down her cheeks… and after a brief pause, Hanley gently replied, “…Please don’t cry… Don’t worry, I’m fine… That aside… I’m glad you still care about me enough to cry…”
…The way he said it made it seem like his injuries were worth it as long as he could get her attention again… and that alone was enough to make Fabiola feel even more bitter than before. It made her really want to ask why he had said all that to Layla back then… Why he gave up on her… But she was too afraid that he wouldn’t have an answer… Maybe she should just ignore it instead…
Shaking her head, she eventually muttered, “…Anyway, just… stay here. I’ll go get a doctor-”
“For that scheming man? You’d better not!” scoffed a familiar voice… and upon turning around, Fabiola was surprised to see Neal and her siblings there! What were they doing here?
Before she could even ask, Frank pulled her to his side before growling, “Stay away from him. He’s been lying to you this entire time!”
Neal himself was quick to add, “Cut the act, Hanley… We all know that that accident was staged! To think that you would do such a thing just so that you could win back her heart! You truly are despicable!”
There were many other messages like that… and after trembling for a while, she glared at Hanley before growling, “…Who…? Who have you been colluding with, Hanley…?! And how could you do this to me…?!”
As Yulia began hugging and comforting Fabiola, Maison himself, who was usually a man of peace, glared at Hanley before scoffing, “What’s your end goal, Hanley!”
Before he could reply, Frank had already grabbed him by the collar, his breath warm as he growled, “Regardless of his excuse, it’s unforgivable that he’s hurt her this badly…! You pay for your crimes today-”
“Enough,” said a deep, domineering voice moments before Frank’s fist could land on Hanley’s cheek… and upon looking at the door, everyone was left shocked. After all…
