chapter 104
“Do you still like Joshua?”
“No, I don’t.”
“Well, that’s good. Keep it that way. He’s had it too easy his whole life and hardly ever faced any setbacks. This is the perfect opportunity for him to face obstacles, that is you,” Moses’s answer always surprised Cynthia.
Cynthia did not reply and instead opened the car window to breathe in some fresh air.
As they drove toward the neighborhood, Cynthia saw someone wearing a white sweater at a turn in the road about three kilometers away.
Upon closer look, Cynthia realized it was Jayleen. However, she saw Jayleen charging toward the car at an insane speed before she could wonder why Jayleen was there!
Screech!
Moses quickly hit the brakes, his carefree demeanor disappearing in an instant.”
Despite hitting the brakes, the car collided with Jayleen as the distance was too close.
Bang!
A dull sound echoed as Jayleen’s body fell to the ground.
The car stopped immediately.
Cynthia and Moses opened their doors simultaneously, and their hearts filled with anxiety and concern.
“You’re insane!” Cynthia exclaimed as she checked Jayleen’s condition.
Soon after, blood began to pool around Jayleen’s legs.
Cynthia immediately realized that Jayleen had suffered a miscarriage from the impact, and she quickly dialed 911 on her phone, her heart heavy with worry.
“I told you… I’ll make Joshua completely stop caring about you…After this, he’ll definitely hate you,” Jayleen said, her face devoid of color.
Moses froze.
Joshua?
“He can only be mine, and no one can take him away,” Jayleen weakly said before fainting.
Moses finally noticed Jayleen’s face, and he quickly realized something. “Is she Jayleen? Joshua’s ex–lover?”
“Mmhmm,” Cynthia replied. She could not express what she was feeling right now.
She hated being falsely accused and framed but only felt that Jayleen was incredibly foolish. How could she lose her sanity and humanity, even to the extent of being willing to lose her life for a man?
Cynthia could not find any meaning or purpose in doing so.
Fortunately, the ambulance arrived quickly.
Moses and Cynthia followed along. Although Jayleen caused the accident, they still had to go.
During the surgery, Moses and Cynthia sat on the chairs in the hallway, thinking about what had just happened.
Moses asked, “What did she mean by the things she said to you?”
“She meant what she said literally,” Cynthia answered simply.
She was well aware that another mess would be dumped on her soon.
When Joshua arrived, Jayleen would definitely say that Cynthia caused her to miscarry and might even accuse her of trying to kill her. Just thinking about how to deal with all of that made her feel a headache.
Cynthia was really, really tired of dealing with these kinds of things and did not want to explain anymore. Unfortunately, the divorce cooling–off period has not passed yet.
Moses sensed her emotional changes and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Cynthia leaned her head against the wall. To avoid more trouble, she continued, “After Joshua meets with Jayleen, no matter what she says, don’t interject or explain anything. Leave everything to me.”
Knowing Joshua’s personality, he would definitely think that she had also won over Moses’s heart if he spoke up for her.
