A cold shout suddenly rang out from ahead, startling Vicki. She almost reflexively let go of Eddie’s arm. The next moment, she grabbed Eddie’s arm again.
“Vicki, what are you doing?” It was Baron, Vicki’s brother.
He’d called Vicki to come home for dinner, but she still hadn’t shown upon this scene.

“If he’s hurt, let him see a doctor. Why are you hanging onto him?” Baron said, his face full of annoyance.
Baron definitely didn’t want his naive little sister getting mixed
with a scumbag like Eddie.
With that, Baron was about to drag Vicki away.
But Vicki didn’t budge. “Baron, Eddie got hurt because of me.”
“Because of you?” Baron frowned. He glanced Vicki up and down, relieved to see she was okay.
As a psychiatrist, Eddie could notice Baron’s obvious dislike for him.

“How could I just turn my back on him now? That’s so heartless,‘ she wondered. So, Vicki sneaked off to find Eddie.
Eddie was sitting on the couch, Beth frowning at him. “How could you be so careless? Your knee is scraped up, and your phone’s broken-
“Mom, I’m fine,” Eddie replied coolly.
He was just grateful he’d acted as a cushion for Vicki. If her tailbone had slammed into that stone pavement, she would surely be gravely

“Mrs. Saunders, I’m so sorry,” Vicki said, walking in with an apologetic look on her face.
