In Ethan's heart, Abigail had always been the pure and kind angel who he had met years ago.
Although she had begun to change a little, he still imagined her the way she used to be.
"It's not that I'm selfish, but it is God who owes this to me. You know better than anyone else how I made it through the past three years. And you know better than anyone else why I came back."
"Yes, I know very well, but what did you tell me when you first decided to come back? You said that if that man still loves you, no matter how difficult it is, you will never leave him. But if that man no longer loves you, then you will also let go of him generously. Isn't that what you said?"
"That was indeed what I said, but at that time, did I know that my parents were no longer alive? Did I know that my parents were killed by your Aunt?! I didn't know. If I had known that earlier, I wouldn't have said those words. Even the kindest person would change because of the cruel reality!"
Ethan took a deep breath and asked her in a dejected tone, "Are you determined to get involved in other people's marriage?"
Abigail's tears flowed down her cheeks out of a sudden. She said in a choking voice, "I didn't want to do this either, but I have no other way out. Thinking of my parents' death, I just can't take it anymore. If I can't get the person that I want, then my parents will really have died in vain..."
"What does the death of your parents have to do with my cousin? Are you sure that your wish to get back with Sebastian is merely because you still love him and not that you want to take revenge on his parents instead?"
"It's because I still love him!"
Abigail roared hysterically.
"If this is the case, then you shouldn't have left in the past. Now that you have left, you shouldn't have come back and hurt those who are innocent!"
Ethan was even more agitated than her. This was the first time that they had ever had a fierce fight since they got to know each other. It really couldn't be denied that Abigail's words had really disappointed him.
At the hospital in the city, Yasmine was forcefully dragged by Sebastian to go for a detailed examination. No matter how many times she had explained to him that she was not injured, he would not believe it until the doctor had examined her.
After walking out of the examination room, she stared at him with a smile. "Do you believe it now?"
Sebastian nodded and said, "Yes, I believe it now, and I'm finally relieved."
She pointed at his forehead and said grumpily, "You should be worried about yourself. Your head was bleeding."
"I'm fine. It's just a small wound."
"We should still go get it treated. Don't let it get infected or it will be troublesome to treat it by then." She pushed him into the debridement room and said to him, "You get your wound treated here. I'll go to see how Fynn and Lily are doing."
Fynn Jaymond and Lily Adams were in the ward next to each other. Fynn had an acute fracture on his wrist and a total of six stitches on his scalp. On the other hand, Lily had a fracture in one of her thighs and four stitches on the back of her hands. Both of them were wearing casts and they were immobilized as they lay on the bed.
She then went into Lily's ward and asked her, "The anesthetics are probably gone by now. It must hurt a lot, right?"
Lily shook her head feebly and said, "Thank god, it doesn't hurt that much."
In fact, it was impossible to not feel the pain after getting injured like this. Lily only said that so that Yasmine wouldn't worry about her too much.
Yasmine touched her face distressedly and said, "Luckily you didn't hurt your face. Otherwise, what should we do if there's a scar on our beautiful Lily's face?"
"Well, why do you think my hands got injured like this?"
When the car crashed, the broken glass flew towards them so she instinctively reached out to shield her face. The front of the car was deformed after being hit, and one of her legs was severely injured.
"By the way, is Fynn okay?"
"His injuries were like yours, but his head is injured. I'm not sure whether he injured his nerves or not so I'll talk to him and see if his brain is still working normally."
Yasmine went out and arrived at the ward next to Lily's. When she was about to open the door, she could see a woman who was sitting by the bed through the small transparent glass window. From her back, she looked like a mature and gorgeous woman and not her sister-in-law, Tiffany Simons.
When she heard that there was a noisy dispute coming from the room, she immediately halted her steps.
"How can I explain it clearly enough so that you'll believe me? I was really at home tonight. I didn't go anywhere else."
"But I saw it clearly. I saw you in a man's car in front of me."
"How is that possible? I was staying at home and watching TV but you saw me with another man? Did you see my soul?"
"If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have gone out of control trying to catch up with you guys and ended up getting into an accident!"
"You drank, didn't you?"
Fynn didn't say anything.
"You were drinking, weren't you?"
Willow York pressured him. "Tell me, did you drink or not?"
"So what if I drank?"
"If you did drink, it would mean that you might be out of your mind when you were driving, then you regarded another woman as me. I can understand that you miss me all the time, but you can't just blame me for the accident that you had gotten into after driving under the influence, can you?"
"I only drank a little, not to the point where I can't control the speed."
"Drinking a little is also drinking. There is a law for drinking and driving. Can every drunken driver use the excuse of seeing his girlfriend or wife in another man's car after getting into an accident?"
Willow's words were so clear and logical that Fynn had started to think that he was the one who was having an illusion. "Was it really because I had drank too much?"
Seeing that he was already lost in his thoughts, Willow immediately added, "Fynn, we have been dating for two years. You should have already known what kind of person I am. Apart from you, I won't have anyone else in my heart."
