I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 800

But with Steven, I had taken it all for granted, finding every excuse to ignore what he'd done for me.

I lowered my eyes, unsure how to respond.

Just then, a cold voice came from behind me. "Because you're the one who brought all this suffering on her. It all happened because you didn't end up with Verna. I'm the one who should be with Zephyra."

Steven, who had calmed down slightly, exploded again. He shoved me aside and threw a punch at Horace.

"Then I'll just beat you to death and see how you covet her then."

"Steven, stop!" I cried, moving to break up the fight.

Gordon pulled me back. "Ma'am, you're pregnant! Be careful not to get hurt! You have to think about the baby."

Gordon's words sounded like concern, but he was really just helping Steven.

Unable to move his leg, Horace could only fight with his hands. He couldn't dodge Steven's blows, let alone gain any advantage. He was completely overpowered.

Held back by Gordon, all I could do was watch in a panic. "Steven, stop it right now! I said stop, do you hear me!"

Suddenly, there was a gasp from the doorway.

"What are you doing!" Rachel stood there, the takeout food she'd brought back crashing to the floor.

I looked at Rachel and yelled, "Quick, stop Steven!"

Rachel snapped out of her shock and rushed forward, but Steven shoved her aside.

Horace's face was bruised and swollen, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. If this continued, I didn't know what would happen.

After saying that, she gave me a long, meaningful look!

The moment our eyes met, my heart sank. Rachel's gaze was filled with hatred, as if she were looking at a long-time enemy.

I knew Rachel didn't like me because of Horace, but we had been friends for years. Even if we couldn't be friends anymore, we shouldn't have become enemies.

But the look in Rachel's eyes right then sent a chill down my spine.

But then I thought, no, that's impossible. I knew Rachel's personality. The most she would be is angry. It must be my pregnancy making me overly sensitive.

While I was lost in thought, Rachel's angry voice cut through. "Zephyra, wasn't it enough that you got Horace's leg ruined? Now you bring Steven here to humiliate him? Do you have any conscience at all!"

"Don't you just disgust yourself?"
