Joan, I'll never forgive youll treated you with sincerity, but you chose to betray me instead.
The look in Abelyn's eyes turned cruel as she stared at Joan.
Watching from the side, Larry turned suspicious as he witnessed the change in Abelyn. He stared intently at Abelyn, trying to see through her.
'Abelyn, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. You wouldn't have been hurt if it wasn't for me. I'm really sorry!" Joan apologized as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Abelyn turned to look at the flowers outside the window in an attempt to tune out Joan's apologies. Tears flowed down her cheeks, and she grabbed onto the sheets, trying to suppress the hatred within her.
Joan, from now onward, we're enemies!
Everyone was focusing on Abelyn's injuries; no one noticed the change in her expression.
"Alright. Now that Abelyn's back, we can finally let go of our worries. The doctor has said that Abelyn's injuries are light, and she will recover after a few more days at the hospital," Larry announced.
Abelyn turned her head back and forced a smile for everyone.
"I'm sorry to make you guys worry. But I'm fine now. So you should just head back and rest. I'll be fine with Dustin here," she assured as she tapped on Dustin's arm.
"Huh? Oh, sure. You guys should head back. I'll stay with her." Dustin played along.
"No!" Joan exclaimed.
Everyone stared at her, confused.
"I'd like to stay," Joan offered.
