Facade of Love Novel novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178 Everything’s in the Past 

Afterward, there was a long silence between Idris and I. It was too quiet, and I did not feel like talking, so I focused solely on driving

Is that scar from when you and Lucas fell off the cliff?He suddenly asked out of the blue. I did not immediately grasp what he meant and responded instinctively, Yes, and?Realizing what he was referring to, I frowned instinctively, about to say something, but his deep, cold voice came again. For so many years, have I been nothing but a joke to you?” 

I pursed my l*ps, remaining silent

He let out a bitter laugh, selfdeprecatingly saying, A mistaken identity, protecting the wrong person, and then hurting you.” 

Mr. Young,I began, my voice steady. Everything’s in the past now. Saving you back then was only because I couldn’t abandon someone who was in the same abyss as me. I didn’t tell you later because I felt it was unnecessary. Even if it hadn’t been you that day, it would have been someone else. So, you don’t owe me anything. Moreover, when the Scott Corporation was in trouble, you and your grandmother helped us out, solving a critical issue for my father. We don’t owe each other anything.” 

Taking a deep breath, I added, As for the other things, you don’t need to feel indebted either. After all, I accepted the house and the money you gave.” 

That unborn childPerhaps it was best that I miscarried. To say it was not painful would be a lie, but what was done was done. Whether it was out of spite or revenge, I had acted and now, I had let go

Holding the steering wheel, I glanced at Idrisright hand from the corner of my eye. The wound I had viciously inflicted was now healed, leaving only a pale pink scar where the scab had fallen off

An unborn child in exchange for his permanently damaged right hand, was perhaps not a fair exchange

However, it was all in the past now

Idris’ expression was somber, devoid of emotion. I did not try to probe his thoughts, nor did I have the interest to. Whatever he was thinking now, he was now just an insignificant person 

to me

Perhaps not knowing what else to say, Idris remained silent until we reached the hospital

At the hospital, in the ward, Madam Young had already woken up. Emily was by her bedside, feeding her some soup. Seeing us, Madam Young beckoned me over, her face warm and kind. Yvette, you’re here. Come, have you had breakfast yet?” 

I nodded and looked at her noticeably thinner face. Grandma, are you feeling better?” 

She hummed in affirmation and said with a smile, Much better. Mr. Zachary told me about that day. Luckily you arrived in time, otherwise, I might have really gone to meet Sir Young down under.” 

I quickly shook my head and said, Not at all.Originally, I wanted to offer some blessings

but since I was not good at pleasantries, I could only utter those few dry words

Madam Young did not mind. She smiled and chatted with me about other things. Emily brought up the idea of going to the holiday villa once Madam Young felt better. Madam Young, in a good mood, immediately nodded in agreement. She looked at me and said, Yvette, you’ve been quite busy lately. It’s perfect timing. Let’s go together. I’ve heard that the resort Iddy has developed has beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate. It’s much warmer there than here in Lake City.” 

I nodded with a smile, not finding any excuse at that moment

Perhaps because Madam Young was in good spirits, the atmosphere in the room was cheerful. While we were chatting, suddenly half an apple appeared in front of me. Instinctively, I paused and looked up

Facing Idris’s cool expression, he spoke softly. Try it, it’s sweet.”
