After being helped into the car, Damon's face turned grim despite Chloe's apparently good mood. "You sure have a lot of fans, huh?"
Chloe looked towards the hospital entrance. Her side profile revealed she was indeed in high spirits.
Damon smirked slightly, "If I ever do something that disappoints you, I bet your fans would tear me to shreds."
Chloe raised an eyebrow. "Planning on disappointing me, are you?"
"I once thought about trying to be more than just a passerby in your life, but rather your final destination."
In fact, he didn't care much about what that girl said. But her words, “You’re just a passerby in Chloe's life,” instantly turned his face stone cold.d2
The only uncertainty in his life was the woman in front of him. Back then, he went all out to pursue her, but couldn't guarantee he wouldn't let this woman leave him.
Sometimes caring too much about someone wasn't a good thing. Because he cared too much, he wasn't sure what sacrifices this woman would make for him. His fear wasn't that she didn't love him, but that she loved him too deeply.
What a contradiction.
However, Chloe didn't overthink things. Thinking about the people's attitudes in the hospital lobby earlier, she guessed the internet must have been buzzing.
She opened a webpage. The hottest topic was “Chloe's man got ‘snatched’ by a woman dressed like a pink polar bear.”
The comments below were all criticizing Damon. The most common narrative was that he was a bad guy.
The same idea but expressed in a million different ways.
"Why are there so many jerks!"
"Love comes quickly and leaves just as fast. Men always deceive. I'm done with love."
"In this day and age, we guard against thieves, robbers, and friends, but in the end, we still have to guard against men."
"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're good looking!"
"He looks decent and elegant, but he's just a wolf in sheep's clothing. It's okay to hang out with guys like this, but investing feelings is a no-no."
"I feel for Ms. Summers. So many things have happened in just a few days. And now she's been cheated on, again. It's just..."
"Who is that shameless hussy dressed like a pink polar bear? The whole world knows Ms. Summers and Mr. Harper are a couple, and she dares to be the third wheel!"
"If I knew who she is, I'd teach her a lesson for Ms. Summers!"
"Right! There are just too many trashy people these days, we should clean them up one by one!"
Chloe couldn't quite describe her feelings at the moment. Being protected on one hand and scolded on the other was a peculiar feeling.
But thinking about it, these people meant well. It was just Damon, who'd been misunderstood as the bad guy and scolded so viciously. Some of the comments were so harsh, she couldn't bear to read them.
