Chapter 17_A Love Forgotten

My head started to hurt, and a ringing filled my ears. Dizziness soon overwhelmed my senses as I willed. all my energy to speak, “I wasn’t the third person in that rtionship! I’m not-”

 “You’re not?” Ruby’s voice grew shrill. “You publicly pursued Elijah in your second year of university. What else are you, if not a despicable man–stealer?

 “Let me make this clear–you ruined Elijah and Jocelyn’s rtionship! It’s because of you that they broke up!”

 “No, that’s not true… No, Teri said that wasn’t the case. I muttered. At this point, I was also trying to convince myself that I couldn’t have torn their rtionship apart.

 Teri said I had onlymittedly pursued Elijah after hearing that Elijah and Jocelyn had broken up. I couldn’t be the person who broke them up. There was no way.

 Yet, how could I exin such things to Ruby? I had lost my memories, so I didn’t even know the truth about what had happened.

 My entire body couldn’t stop trembling as cold sweat coated my skin.

 Now, I regretteding to the Wood residence. I could have averted such attacks had I just arranged an overnight stay at the hospital this afternoon. That would still be better than staying here and feeling miserable.

 Ruby noticed I had covered my ears and wasn’t speaking anymore when she finished hurling insults at me. Then, amid her fury, she pped me.

 I was already struggling to stand because of my dizziness, so her p sent me falling to the ground. The nausea I felt was so intense that I couldn’t bring myself to get up from the ground for a long time.

 Even then, Ruby continued to yell at me, “You shameless bitch! Don’t think Logan will pity you just because you’re pretending to be frail! What else do you have, apart from your looks and identity as the York family’s heiress? You’re just a useless piece of trash!This is from N?velDrama.Org.

 “Unlike Jocelyn, you’re like the dirt everyone steps on! How dare you keep smearing her name? Don’t you know you nearly caused her to end her life?”

 Ruby’s insults were incessant.

 I could no longer hear as clearly by then. The ringing in my ears continued, and my head was spinning so much I nearly vomited. My only hope was that Ruby would stop prattling on soon.

 “That’s enough, Ruby!” Logan thundered, shutting Ruby up for good.

 At that moment, my chest heaved in relief.

 Then, Logan carried me off the ground and gingerly ced me on the bed.

 Unable to hold it back anymore, I grabbed Logan’s sleeve and hurled everything I ate during dinner onto him.

 My vomiting was worse this time.

 1 kept vomiting until the world spun, and tears streamed down my face. It felt as if I’d almost vomited all my organs out.

 Even then, Logan’s voice remained warm and gentle. He said, “It’s okay. Everything’s okay. Let it out if it’s

 making you ufortable…”

 Meanwhile, Ruby seemed shocked by the scene. “Why’s she like this? I bet she’s pretending! I didn’t even push her with that much force. I only nudged her because I was annoyed. She fell to the ground herself!”

 I could hear the warmth vanishing from Logan’s voice as he reprimanded her, “She injured the back of her head and may have post–concussion syndrome. It doesn’t matter that you nudged her. You’re at fault for doing it in the first ce.

 “I want you to go to your room now. You’re not allowed toe out anymore!”

 “But Logan!” Ruby faltered briefly. Then, she snarled, “I’m not leaving! She’s the one who should leave, not mel”

 Logan then harshly said, “Martha, please pack Ms. Quare’s things and take her to Sunny Seas Hotel.”

 Rattled, Ruby yelled, “You’re making me stay at a hotel, Logan? I can’t believe you’re kicking me out because of this woman…”

 I didn’t have the heart to listen to the rest of their conversation, but I could hear chaotic noises soon erupt from inside and outside the room.

 It seemed like one of the maids had dragged Ruby away while I continued to vomit.

 Eventually, I managed to empty everything in my stomach. Only then did I properly look at Logan. He had been holding me this entire time.

 et stay at

 I bitterly chuckled. “It’s best if I a hospital, Logan… I’ve ruined your room because of my condition…”

 Logan supported me and seemed to be thinking about something. Then, he carried me bridal style and spoke to a maid, “Please clean this up. After that, I want you to make a call. Have Frank Drakee over.” Then, Logan carried me up to the fourth floor.

 He carried me so effortlessly, as if I was a light feather

 However, my intense nausea prevented me from opening my eyes to see my surroundings. I could only sense that Logan had brought me into a big room and that there was a faint scent of pine in the air.

 In the next second, Logan ced me on a big bed, where Iy stiffly like a statue.

 Meanwhile, Logan shuffled about in the room.

 After some time, a warm towel patted my face.

 Someone was tenderly wiping my face.

 I opened my eyes and saw Logan’s indifferent side profile.
