StarNovelChapter 116 "Cindy!" From a distance, Petra panicked and darted over.
However, there was someone quicker than her. He went ahead and took Cindy into his arms.
"Quick, call 120." "Where did the family doctor go? Quickly give her a check-up." All of a sudden, the hall was in a great frenzy. Swere checking on Cindy while swere softly comforting Petra.
A while later, Cindy finally opened her eyes. She stared at Theo who was carrying her and said weakly," Theowy, my whole body is aching. Will you sendto the hospital, please?" "Okay." Theo glanced atwhile I stood at the top of the stairs. He looked cold from head to toe. He carried Cindy out of the door as Petra and Grayson followed closely behind.
Guests who were left behind in the hall were talking quietly.

I heard that President Grant always treats Miss Reed kindly, and Mrs. Grant is really unhappy about it. Besides, Miss Reed found her parents today. She must be afraid of losing her status, that's why she pushed her." "But honestly, someone as outstanding as President Grant is a better match for someone with a status like Miss Reed's. Mrs. Grant must be afraid of that and hurt her!" "I didn't see that coming at all. She looks like a gentle person. Who knew she'd do such a thing?" "What's so strange about it? Aren't all rich people like that?" I found it slightly amusing listening to those unabashed discussions downstairs, but I could not bring myself to laugh.
A night of repeated madeexhausted. I just wanted to go hnow.
"I always thought you were very smart. I didn't think you'd lose control and take action with so many people around." Zedd had enough of the scene and started to pick a fight withagain. "But it's true.
Your looks never cclose to Cindy's, and even your family background isn't comparable to hers. What makes you worthy of being with Theo? Take my advice and just forget it. Only Cindy is worthy of being with him." "What's wrong withlosing control? At least I dare to fight openly. Unlike you, you wretched villain. You can't even bring yourself to say you like her. You're going to be a coward all your life." I spared no mercy with my words.
"You... Hmph! You ingrate!" Zedd was hit in his sore spot and left angrily.
The people downstairs were still pointing fingers, but I looked steadily forward and proudly walked over while slightly lifting my dress. I left the noise behind me.
Tyler was leaning against a pillar in the garden outside. He was smiling with his gaze fixed on me.
I walked up and said, "This was your reason for bringinghere? If this is your way of torturing me, then congratulations. You've succeeded again." I had wondered earlier in the day if he was a changed man. Now, I finally understood that he was still the same. There was a purpose to his every action.
Back then, he liked to use the most merciless ways to directly torture me. Years had passed and I thought he had changed, but he just cup with new tricks.
When I finished talking, I ignored him and ran outside. It was difficult to walk on the steps with heels. I decided to take my shoes off, carry them in my hand, and continue running.
There were no cars outside and I could not hail a cab. The only way was to walk.
A dark shadow caught up to me. It did not speak, nor did it stop me. It only followedat a steady pace.

I was walking barefoot on the asphalt road, and I could still feel the heat from the afternoon sun. The core of my feet was burning with sharp pain. 1 I simply sat down on the lawn due to exhaustion. The black figure cto sit besidewith a slight sigh. H e still did not speak.
A long while later, I suppressed the grievances and anger in my heartl spoke calmly. "Tyler, what are you planning to do by coming to look forthis time?" This was how humans were. We would be scared to death before facing something scary, but when we really faced it, nothing could stop our courage.
It was the case now. I actually daringly questioned Tyler. Back then, I did not even have the courage to face him.
Tyler did not answer me. He stared atand said, "If I said I had good m intentions and just wanted to let everyone know that you have the Lane family's support, would you believe me?" "No," I did not even think before answering right away. I may never believe his words anymore for the rest of my life.
