Hearing that, | was totally blindsided.
Did | cause this fight?
Mark’s eyes suddenly dimmed, as if he was lost in thought, and Bryant took the opportunity to flip over and strike back!
He pinned Mark against the wall, his eyes brewing a storm, his expression icy, “Mark, only Jane would be naive enough to think
you''re some kind of knight in shining armor!”
“And what about you? What do you think you are?” Mark lift his head, his eyes flickering with a mockingughter, “Do you think
you deserve her? Sh 100...”
At that, a shiver ran through me, and just as Bryant’s fist was about to make contact, | rushed forward to shield Mark, “Mark!
Stop talking!”
Bryant''s fist narrowly missed my face, mming into the wall nstead, his expression turning frosty in an instant!
His eyes were locked tight, filled with a tempestuous rage as he sneered, “Jane, you care about him this much?”

He never offered me an exnation. He would drop everything at Margaret''s call, always taking her side unconditionally.
Compared to what he’d done, my actions were nothing.

Mark nced at me, the hostility in his eyes fading away as he spoke softly, “Why are you at the hospital? Did you...”
He paused, perhaps knowing | wouldn’t want Bryant to know my miscarriage, and changed his inquiry, “Are you feeling alright?”
“Mark, I’m fine, | came to see my aunt.”
My heart warmed at his concern, making the disappointment in Bryant feel even more profound.
My friends would always ask about my well-being first.
But Bryant didn’t care at all.
Seeing the tension between me and Bryant, Margaret couldn’t resist adding fuel to the fire, her voice soft and gentle, “Seems like

Adirect hit. nder. Insults.

Watching Margaret''s face turn, | realized that indulging in this low-brow satisfaction felt surprisingly good.

Bryant straightened up, looking down on me with a thin smile, “Jane, is that how you ask for a favor?”
My heart felt like it was being squeezed, bitter and pained, as | looked at him in disbelief.
