A Love Forgotten

Logan turned around and walked away from the door after speaking.

Meanwhile, Ruby was devastated and was practically shoved into the car with her suitcase before being driven away.

I quickly returned to the living room and pretended I hadn’t seen or heard anything.

Logan then walked into the living room and saw me quietly sitting there. He smiled. “Let’s go. The

weather is perfect right now. The dew will start to settle if we wait any longer.”

So, I happily walked beside him as we left the house for a stroll.

The walk was delightful.

The night breeze was gentle, and the person beside me made me feel at ease..

I started becoming chatty. But in contrast, Logan didn’t talk much at all and just quietly listened to me. However, one thing I didn’t ask him was why he would rather send Ruby away than stop siding with me. I had come to realize that ignorance truly was bliss sometimes.

The next day, I went to the hospital for a check–up and to get my bandages changed. Teri had rushed over to see me and seemed relieved when she saw that I looked well. She pointed at Frank. “Is this him? Doesn’t seem like it.

I knew she had the wrong idea, so I explained, “He’s Dr. Drake. The Wood family doctor.”

Teri clicked her tongue and started to tease with a hint of jealousy, “How nice it is to be rich. It turns out that those romance novels weren’t lying after all…”

I quickly covered her loose lips and asked in a low voice, “What brings you here?”

Teri gave me a strange look. “Do I need a reason to see you? Be honest with me, are you falling head over heels for Mr. Wood?”

My face flushed with embarrassment, and I hurriedly explained, “Stop talking nonsense! I’m not. He’s only taking care of me because of my brother.”

Teri’s expression grew even more confused. “Arl, are you unaware that your brother…”

I cautiously asked, “What’s wrong with my brother?”

Teri quickly changed the subject. “It’s nothing. Your brother is fine. I came here because I’ve got some. juicy gossip.*

I frowned. “What gossip?”

I had a bad feeling that it was about Elijah and Jocelyn again. It honestly exhausted me just to hear Elijah’s name these days. All I wanted to do now was to recover quickly, hire a lawyer, and sever all ties with him. I didn’t even care about getting any of his assets.

All my interest was drained when I thought about the five years I’d spent with that man and that he had touched everything we’d once shared.

I couldn’t deny that I was utterly disgusted by both Elijah and Jocelyn.

Teri glanced around and started to smirk. Then, she took out her phone and proudly waved it in front of me. “Elijah somehow got my number and added me on WhatsApp last night, and I gave him a piece of my mind.”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

I was speechless, but Teri didn’t seem to notice and continued proudly scrolling through the chat.

I glanced at it briefly and immediately looked away, fearing that those three words might taint my sight. Teri looked like a victorious rooster as she grinned. “I listed all the ways he’s wronged you over the years and gave him a full–on lecture. He seemed drunk and tried to explain at first, but he just went silent after that.”

Teri forced me to read through the long string of insults that she had proudly thrown at him.

I skimmed a few lines before pushing the phone away. “I don’t want to read it. What did Elijah say in the end?”

Teri chuckled. “He didn’t say much, but he didn’t seem to believe Jocelyn that bitch could pull off something like this. I told him to check for himself and even sent him screenshots of her usual posts on social media.

I was stunned. “You have screenshots of Jocelyn’s posts?”

Teri rolled her eyes at me. “What’s so surprising about that? Weren’t you the one who asked me to create a fake account and pretend to be her junior to blend into her alumni circle?

“That’s how I got all her phony posts, I’ve saved most of the screenshots because you asked me to back then, and I sent them all to Elijah.
