Ranita felt a sour and painful sensation in her heart.


    They had agreed that Brendon wouldn’t bother with Shannon anymore, but with just one phone call, he went to see her. Right in front of her, he left just like that.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    “I’m fine…” Ranita pursed her lips and forced a smile. “How is Olivia doing?”


    Seeing her change the subject, Makhi naturally followed suit and didn’t mention it again. He continued, “She has had the cast applied. With ligament and bone injuries, she will definitely have to stay in the hospital for some time.”


    “I asked the doctor, and they said they will observe for a few days and then return to Stnd when the situation improves a bit,” Makhi paused and added, “I have arranged for a caregiver to take care of her, so don’t worry!”


    “Your foot is also injured, you need a few days of rest. Are you in a hurry to go back to Stnd? If you’re in a hurry, I can arrange for someone to apany you back.”


    Makhi was polite and magnanimous in his words and actions.


    Their rtionship with Makhi was pure and innocent, and no matter who came, they wouldn’t think too much, right?! Why did Brendon think there was something going on between her and Makhi?!


    “There is still something I need to take care of temporarily, so I might need to stay a little longer.”


    “Is that so?” Makhi seemed relieved. “Then it’s a good time to rest. You’re not suitable for rushing around like this.”


    “Yeah!” Ranita responded absentmindedly, her thoughts elsewhere.


    Makhi decided not to say anything more and let Ranita rest.


    After leaving the hospital, Brendon felt a bit remorseful. Ranita was injured and it wasn’t right for him to leave her alone in the hospital.


    Brendon instructed the driver to turn back.


    He stood outside the ward and looked through the observation window. He could see Makhi helping Ranita adjust her pillow and helping her lie down to rest…


    Brendon walked away with a cold face.


    Shannon called again, asking where he was. Brendon suddenly remembered that he had promised Shannon to visit her. But that wasn’t his true intention; he just wanted to put on a show in front of Ranita.


    “Shannon, I have something else to attend to and won’t being,” Brendon said.


    “Brendon, why aren’t youing? I…” Shannon’s voice was soft. “These past few days, I have been reflecting on my mistakes. I know I did wrong by deceiving you because I love you.”


    Brendon listened for a while before finally saying, “Shannon, we have already broken off our engagement. You don’t need to tell me these things anymore.”


    “Brendon… I… I actually have something important to discuss with you. Can you meet me? Let’s talk properly, for the sake of the many years we’ve been together,” Shannon seemed to have emerged from her setbacks. “You can rest assured, I won’t harm myself anymore. I just really want to have a good talk with you.”


    “Even if you want to break off the engagement, at least make it clear to me, as the person involved.”


    Brendon pursed his lips and reluctantly agreed.


    Before long, he arrived at Shannon’s ward. Shannon had packed her things and seemed to be preparing to leave the hospital.


    “Brendon, you’re here,” Shannon, dressed in a little white dress, approached like a fragile butterfly, and there was an unconscious scent of roses in the air.


    Brendon sidestepped a bit and said, “Shannon, what do you want to discuss with me?”


    Shannon’s eyes immediately filled with mist, and her voice softened as she asked, “Brendon, are you so impatient to see me now? I don’t mean anything else… I haven’t seen you for several days, and I’m just too happy.”


    As Shannon spoke, her eyebrows furrowed, and she forced a smile through her sadness. “Brendon, these past few days, I’ve thought a lot. I know that forced feelings won’t bring happiness…”
