Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12: How is that hard to understand?

Arwen hadn't expected Delyth to be so vicious. Her pupils dilated as she tried to grab onto something to keep herself from falling, but there was nothing around. "Ah–" she screamed in fear, while bracing herself for the pain that would be coming next.

But just in time, a hand reached out and caught her. Arwen sighed in relief, closing her eyes, and taking in a deep breath. The fall had been so close that, even though she didn't hit the floor, her heart felt the dread of the potential pain.

"Are you fine?" A concerned voice asked, and Arwen looked up to find Dr. Clark, worry etched on his brows.

Arwen nodded to him. "I am fine. Thank you, Dr. Clark," she said as the doctor helped her back into the chair. Once she was settled, he turned to Delyth, his gaze cold and piercing.

"Could you tell me what you were trying to do, miss?" His voice was even colder than his eyes, making Delyth flinch.

Swallowing her fear visibly, she looked at him before darting her eyes towards Arwen. Her brows furrowed in faux concern as she apologetically explained, "I–I am really sorry, Arwen. I didn't mean to push you. You were struggling, so I just wanted to help you. You believe me, right?"

Arwen didn't respond but her gaze didn't hide the condemnation. She might not know Delyth very well, but she surely knows that the woman was not as innocent and sweet as she always pretends to be.

"A help that's unasked doesn't benefit anyone. At your age, shouldn't you know this already, miss?" Jason didn't know who the woman was but he had clearly seen her deliberately trying to harm Arwen.

Delyth felt cornered. She just wanted to teach Arwen a lesson; she didn't expect someone to appear and save her. "I truly didn't mean to harm. Arwen is my friend —why would I deliberately do that to her?" Jason looked handsome, and Delyth didn't want him to misunderstand her.

"That's for you to figure out if you don't know." Jason replied without much interest and then turned back to Arwen. "Shouldn't you be resting, Ms. Quinn?"

"I was a little bored in the room, so I asked Sister Ambrosina to get me downstairs. She had an emergency suddenly, so I was just getting back on my own," Arwen explained.

Jason nodded and then walked around to hold her wheelchair. "It's fine. I will take you back then. I had come for you anyway." Luckily, he was there. Otherwise, he didn't know what kind of disaster might have occurred if something had happened to her.

Arwen smiled and then nodded gently. They both ignored Delyth as if she weren't even there. Delyth felt embarrassed. She turned to leave as well, but then she caught sight of Ryan coming out of the doctor's office.

Instead of turning away, she rushed towards Arwen, grabbing onto her arms. Arwen had barely looked up to ask what was wrong, but before she could even utter a syllable, Delyth fell backward on her own.
