Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 424

Gerda was upstairs at the moment. She had a lot to eat today, so she was running on the treadmill in the gym, trying to feel less guilty.

While she was running, she noticed Janet rushing out of the stairwell with streaks of tears on her face.

"Lind? What were you doing coming out of the stairwell?" Even though Gerda was normally a jovial person, she could tell that Janet was in a sour mood.

Upon seeing the worry on Gerda's face, Janet felt even more dispirited.

She threw herself into Gerda's arms and sniffled.

"Just don't ask me anything, okay?"

She had buried her face in Gerda's hair.

And so, Gerda just caressed Janet's back in silence. When she felt that the latter was shivering, she felt really sorry for her. But at the same time, she was furious.

"Who did this to you?" Gerda was filled with righteous indignation. She was just about ready to roll up her sleeves and smack somebody on the back of their heads.

Janet shook her head, adjusted her mood, and smiled at Gerda. "It's okay, Gerda. I'm feeling a lot better now. There's no need for that."

She then pursed her lips and added, "Whenever something happens, you don't have to worry about defending other people right away. At times, you just need to think more about yourself."

Janet's words left Gerda speechless.

What does she mean by that? She sounds like she's planning on leaving. Gerda was confused.

The second the elevator arrived, Janet entered it right away.
