Crises in Love novel Chapter 165

I let my eyelashes veil the tears welling up in my eyes. For some inexplicable reason, I found it hard to hold back my emotions that day.

We strolled down a secluded path, our footsteps the only sound echoing in the quiet alleys.

“Addrion's in the hospital. His injuries are pretty severe. It’ll take quite a while for him to recover.” Ronan said, “I can take you to see him when you're ready.”

“He's in Silverdale City?” I halted mid-step, turning to look at Ronan.

“Yes. It's a safer place.”

“Will you be staying in Silverdale City?” I asked him, hoping for a positive response.

He shook his head. “No.”

I wanted to ask where he would primarily be, but I held my tongue.

“What about your parents' nanny? How are you going to deal with her?”

“I'll discuss it with my parents first. But not now. With Jaylan’s issue still unresolved... I need to reclaim what's rightfully mine! Only when I get rid of him in my life can I proceed. Or else, I fear he will get suspicious!” My tone turned bloody cold. “Those damn prying eyes are so annoying...”

“Until the Oldtown Avenue project is finalized, you all are safe. We've got the situation under control!” Ronan assured me, possibly sensing my apprehension.

“Under control? You know about the Oldtown Avenue project, too?” I was shocked, wondering just how much Ronan knew.

“Yes.” Ronan responded quietly, “I know that Oldtown Avenue just as well as you do, maybe even better now.”

My heart sank a little. I realized why he might be more familiar with the place. It meant he had visited here frequently. But as to why he did so, I didn't want to or have the nerve to ask.

Sometimes, daydreaming was more pleasant than reality.

Suddenly, a group of children's laughter and playful shouts echoed from a nearby alley. A small bike shot out from it at lightning speed. By the time I realized the impending danger, it was too late. I let out a scream, shutting my eyes in fear.

I felt a grip tighten around my waist, and my feet lifted off the ground. The next thing I heard was a startled cry, followed by the clattering sound of a bike toppling over. It was chaos!

I quickly opened my eyes to find Ronan had hoisted me under his arm while he held my daughter with the other to keep her from getting hurt. The bike lay toppled on the side, and a group of youngsters stood frozen in the alley, their faces mirroring shock.

Embarrassed, I gestured for Ronan to let us down. He simply grinned at me contently. “Scared?”
