Chapter 130


    “I’m Angeline.”


    The moment the officer heard that, his face turned grim before letting her pass through the cordoned-


    off area.


    Once Angeline got in, she did not say much. Instead, she ran all the way up to the top floor.


    After running up more than ten flights of stairs, Angeline held on to her knees and was panting heavily


    when she reached her destination.


    She forced herself to calm down before trying tofort Darlene.


    “Mrs. Quast, it’s me. Please calm down. Why don’t youe down first? Then, we can talk about your


    problems.”


    The moment Darlene saw Angeline, her tears flowed uncontrobly, and she started yelling at


    Angeline, “You’re a murderer! If it weren’t for the Sorelle family, my husband wouldn’t have ended up


    like this. Now that our savings have been depleted, how do you expect us to carry on living?”


    Angeline felt sad as she listened to Darlene’sint. She took a deep breath before saying, “I know


    you feel a lot of hatred right now. I can pay for the medical fees—”


    “You’re lying!”


    Darlene was so agitated when she moved that the mud on the balcony started falling. It was a


    harrowing scene.


    She pointed at Angeline and looked like she could not wait to kill her.


    “All of you are just lying to me in front of the cameras. After that, no one will be held ountable. This


    time around, I will never let this go!”


    Angeline’s face darkened. Joseline must have lied to Darlene. That was why Darlene lost her


    confidence.


    The existence of Joseline made Angeline realize that humans could be extremely nasty.


    Angeline pursed her lips before bowing at Darlene apologetically.


    “I know that you have suffered for many years. But, I’m not representing the Sorelle family when I


    apologize to you and your family. As for Mr. Quast’s medical fees and his mental traumapensation,


    I will pay thepensation in full. However, I need to know the truth behind what happened all those


    years ago.”


    Darlene looked better when she heard Angeline’s assurance. Nheless, she still had a look of


    despair.


    “So what? My husband will never be a normal person again. If he were not threatened back then,


    he would have never tampered with the car…”


    Darlene was talking very softly. It was likely that the police standing nearby could not hear her, but


    Angeline heard every word.


    “What did you say?”


    Her expression turned gloomy.


    As for Darlene, she realized that she should not have said what she just did. In her state of panic, she


    trembled violently and lost her footing. The very next moment, she fell off the top floor of the hospital.


    Darlene’s scream pierced through the air.


    “Mother!”


    “Ah! Help!”


    Following the resounding scream, Angeline was the first to react. She quickly reached out to grab


    Darlene’s hand.


    Soon, Darlene’s body was swaying in midair. She cried out in fear, “Save me. Please save me.”


    There was no way Angeline could withstand her weight. Angeline felt as if her arm was about to rip,


    and Darlene was slipping away inch by inch.


    Angeline gritted her teeth and used all her might to hang on to Darlene’s arm.


    “Don’t give up! Make sure you hold tight.”


    Tears were pouring down Darlene’s face in torrents that she could not even speak. She was close to


    passing out from fright.


    Angeline was in such pain that her face had turned pale, and her arm felt as heavy as lead. Her arm


    was on the verge of giving way with every second that passed by.


    Just as she could not hold on any longer, a group of police officers rushed up to help to pull Darlene to


    safety.


    Angeline lost her bnce and fell to the floor. It was as if all of her strength had been depleted. She


    stared into the sky from fright and took a long while before she returned to her senses.


    “Are you hurt?”


    All of a sudden, she heard a deep, maic voice of a man.


    Angeline was startled. Beads of water were falling from her fringe down to her eyes, obscuring her


    sight. She could, however, still see that handsome face of Evander.


    He held on tightly to her shoulders and asked anxiously, “Angeline, say something!”


    Evander sounded like his usual self, but that did not frighten Angeline. Instead, she looked pitiful as she


    reached out to hug him.


    In that instant, time seemed to have stopped. It felt as if there was no one else in the world but the two


    of them.

    Angeline burrowed into his embrace. The whiff of his scent calmed her down considerably.


    “I was so scared…” she muttered like a child who wanted her sweets.


    Evander frowned slightly and was heartbroken. He held on tightly to Angeline’s shoulders and asked in


    a deep voice, “Can you stand up?”


    “I think so.”


    Angeline attempted to get up on her feet. However, she found herself floating in the air. It turned out


    that Evander had carried her before walking down the stairs.


    The sun shone on him and made him appearrger than usual.


    Angeline was about to say something, but she stopped herself. She hooked her arms around


    Evander’s neck and sneaked a peek at his expression before smiling to herself.


    With Evander around to greet the police, no one dared to detain Angeline.


    He drove both of them back to the lodging. After taking the elevator up and going back to their room, he


    ced her on the couch.


    Next, Evander took out the medical kit from his luggage. He then sprayed a bottle of medication on


    Angeline’s swollen arm.


    Looking at that gloomy face of his, Angeline hissed as she feigned feeling pain.


    “Be gentle. It hurts.”


    “So you do feel pain.”


    Evander looked up at her and teased, “You were very brave just now when you saved thedy. Where


    has your courage gone to?”


    Angeline bowed her head in embarrassment.


    “At the time, my mind went nk. You can’t expect me to sit back and watch a human being die.”


    Now that she had recalled the incident, she was starting to feel fear.


    They were on the tenth floor. If they had fallen, they would most certainly die on the spot.


    Nheless, Angeline did not think too much back then. All she knew was that she could not let


    Darlene die. Otherwise, the hard work that she had put into her investigation would be in vain.


    Most importantly, if Delroy’s family is torn apart, how am I going to answer to myte parents?


    “Angeline, listen carefully. From today onward, your life is no longer your own!”


    After Evander finished applying the medicine, he stood up and ced a hand on the back of her head


    before ring at her in anger.


    Angeline was taken aback by his reaction. “Mr. Golding, I don’t quite understand what you mean…”


    “What I mean is, did the thought of your missing child and Floretta cross your mind when you nearly fell


    just now?”


    When Angeline heard that, she was upset with herself. She bit her lip and said, “I know I was too


    impulsive just now—”


    “What about me?”


    Angeline’s eyes widened in shock when she heard Evander’sst sentence. She nced at his serious


    face, and he looked as though he had lost his senses.


    “Mr. Golding, don’t look so serious. You look like you are confessing to me.”


    “I left my work toe all the way here to fetch you. Do you really think I’m that free?”
