Outside the ward, Liana walked around in panic. At the same time, she was furious.
“Stop walking around. My head is spinning because of you.” Sophia rubbed her forehead. “Why are you so worked up? You know how Newton feels about you. He has one foot in the grave already, and he won’t be able to control Jeremy for long. All you have to do to is capture Jeremy’s heart and that’s enough.”
“It’s easy for you to say. But if Newton doesn’t die, he’ll never accept me! If that’s the case, I can never marry Jeremy.” Liana quickly covered her mouth after saying that, worried someone might hear her.
“Newton didn’t accept me back then either. So what? I still married Javier,” Sophia said as she admired her manicure.
“Human heart is weak and soft. This is his grandson, after all. If Jeremy insists on marrying you, do you think he can really stop him?”
Liana realized that Sophia was right and felt much calmer.
Finally, the door to the ward opened, and Ben walked Alyssa and Jeremy out.
After rearranging her expression, Liana walked up to Jeremy coquettishly. Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes.
The emerald bracelet on Alyssa’s wrist was dazzling, and she couldn’t look away. It was much more expensive than the supposedly heirloom she wore. Alyssa hadn’t been wearing it when she arrived, so Newton must’ve just given it to her.
Jealousy twisted up Liana’s expression. A vicious plan came to mind, and she suddenly pounced on Alyssa.
Liana pretended to have twisted her ankle and pulled the emerald bracelet from Alyssa’s wrist to smash it.
Unexpectedly, Alyssa narrowed her eyes and dodged her. With that, Liana fell to the ground and the emerald bracelet around her own wrist broke in half.
“Liana? Are you okay?” Sophia was shocked, but she also wanted to laugh.
Jeremy quickly walked over to pull her up from the ground, but she refused to move.
“Jeremy, it hurts. Carry me.” Liana’s knees felt numb, and she cried while whining.
Seeing this, Alyssa crossed her arms and looked at the woman on the ground. She was really a fake bitch, making her a good match for Jeremy, who was blind to her tricks.
“Jeremy … Allison pushed me!” Liana hid in the man’s arms and glared at Alyssa viciously.
“Lia, what are you talking about?” He was taken aback.
“Are you sure I pushed you?” Alyssa wasn’t angry. Instead, she laughed and watched Liana’s act.
“Could I have fallen to the ground by myself, then?” Liana was so angry that her gentle voice was a pitch higher.
“It’s possible. After all, you look so weak you could die anytime. Maybe a breeze made you fall.”
“You … Are you jinxing me?” Liana’s face was red from anger. “You clearly pushed me when I walked over. What, don’t you dare admit to what you did?”
“Ms. Gardner, we live in a lawful society. There’s surveillance everywhere, so you can’t just make false accusations whenever you want.” Suddenly, Alyssa’s clear gaze deepened, and her demeanor became oppressive. “Once I find evidence, I can sue you for slander.”
Jeremy was taken aback by how much Allison had changed. She was no longer the dull and obedient wife who waited for him at home.
It was obvious that Liana was defeated, and she looked at Sophia for help.
“It’s all a misunderstanding!” Sophia glanced surreptitiously at the surveillance camera above and tried to smooth out the situation. “Liana must have tripped and accidentally brushed past Allison, which is why she mistakenly thought that Allison pushed her. It’s a misunderstanding.”
“Lia, did you really trip?” Jeremy stared at Liana, his tone indifferent.
“I … I thought she pushed me …”
Jeremy’s expression darkened. Instantly, Liana was in a panic and argued, “If she hadn’t dodged, I wouldn’t have fallen. She did it on purpose. Look, my emerald bracelet is broken now. It’s an heirloom given by my grandma. It wouldn’t have been broken if it weren’t for her. Ms. Burton, I know you’re angry because of your divorce from Jeremy, but you can’t vent your anger on me. Is it my fault that you guys divorced?”
As Liana spoke, tears rolled down her face.
“First of all, I’m not angry. On the contrary, I have to thank you for helping me escape my suffering.
Now, I no longer have to be a sorrowful wife that waits for him from dark till dawn.” Alyssa raised her chin slightly and retorted.
“From dark till dawn?” Jeremy thought, and the shock on his face was obvious.
“Secondly, if this is your heirloom, you should thank me.” She took up half of the broken emerald as she spoke and shone it under the light. “It’s a fake.”
“What?” Liana was taken aback, and even Sophia was shocked.
“The middle part of this emerald has been filled with gum. It won’t be good for your health if you wear it long-term as the chemicals will seep through the skin and affect your blood circulation.”
After speaking, she threw it into the garbage. The emerald bracelet on her wrist that was gifted to her by Newton became the biggest mockery to Liana.
“Mr. Jeremy, Ms. Garner is your girlfriend. You should at least give her some decent jewelry,” Alyssa teased.
“Allison Burton.” He frowned.
“There are a few emerald ornaments on my dressing table in the Walshs’ residence. If you don’t mind, you can use them to make a bracelet for yourself.” Alyssa patted away the dust on her hand as if Liana’s emerald had dirtied her hands.
Liana was furious and thought, “This bitch! She’s trying to ridicule me by offering me those emerald ornaments.”
She wanted to retort, but Alyssa had left.
Outside the hospital, Alyssa couldn’t help but laugh when she thought about how Liana had made a fool out of herself.
“Allison Burton.”
Alyssa immediately turned back when she heard Jeremy’s charming voice. The breeze lifted her hair, giving her an extra feeling of unsullied beauty.
He narrowed his eyes as he walked to her.
“Is there anything I can help you with, Mr. Walsh?” Her expression was cold. “If Ms. Gardner is still distressed about her bracelet, I’ll send her a new one tomorrow.”
“In the ward just now, you told Grandpa …”
“Oh, about that? Don’t overthink it. I just didn’t want Grandpa to get angry.” Alyssa’s gaze only became gentle when Newton was mentioned.
“We’re even now.”
This puzzled Alyssa.
“You faked your identity to marry me. We’re even now. I won’t tell Grandpa nor the Walshs about this.”
The man’s expression was sullen.
She widened her eyes in shock, wondering, “Can I deny it?”
“However, you must tell me why you used a fake identity when you married me. No, I should phrase it another way.” Jeremy gradually moved close to her and asked, “What was your motive in getting close to Grandpa with a fake identity?”
Alyssa felt a pain in her heart and secretly retreated. However, she forgot that there was a step behind her. She lost her balance and fell backward.
But in the next second, she felt a warm touch on her waist when Jeremy caught her. Their eyes met, and she blushed. Meanwhile, his breathing became messed up as well.
Until today, she still felt that Jeremy’s face was a gift from heaven. 13 years ago, she had been 11. She would never forget his bright eyes in the scary and dark thunderstorm. Jeremy had once saved her. If it wasn’t for him, she wouldn’t be alive today.
