The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 130

“You’re not going to the hospital?” Gavin glanced up from his phone, his thumb still scrolling through the news. “They’re saying Adelina fractured her leg.”

Falling from that height, getting away with just a fracture was almost a miracle. But Adelina wasn’t just anyone. She was the Green family’s little princess, soon to be Mrs. James. Both families were in a panic. Belinda was already on the phone with orthopedic specialists overseas, trying to get the best doctors for Adelina.

“I’m not going,” Catherine said quietly. She shifted her legs, trying to shake off the soreness. “I barely know Adelina. There’s no reason for me to be there.”

Deep down, she knew Adelina probably didn’t want to see her, either.

“I can drive you home,” Gavin offered, pulling his car keys from his pocket. “Are you sure you can walk? Do you want me to help?”

Catherine shook her head. “No, really, I’m fine. I can do it myself.”

She was pale, her voice shaky. Even standing still seemed to take effort.

Gavin frowned. “I don’t feel right letting you leave like this.” He tried to reassure her. “Everyone’s already left. Nobody’s going to see me driving you.”

To the guests at the engagement party, Catherine was a stranger. To Lance, she was just another employee, nothing compared to Adelina.

Even though both she and Adelina had fallen, no one even glanced her way. It was like she was invisible.

Catherine had gotten used to being overlooked, but the ache inside her chest was hard to ignore.

“I’m sorry, Gavin. I just want to be alone for a while.”

She turned away, legs wobbling beneath her, each step slow and unsteady, as if she were walking on clouds.

Gavin watched her go, shaking his head. He couldn’t help but feel sorry for Lance, who clearly had no idea what he was missing.

Suddenly, something dark in the corner of the stairs caught his eye. He walked over and picked it up. It was a broken high heel. He examined it closely, noticing the obvious glue residue at the break.

His brows knitted together. Without another word, he hurried off to the security office to check the surveillance footage.
