Chapter 12
After the doctor said that, he went out to check on other patients.
It was understandable. With all my injuries, it was easy for others to misunderstand.
Noah came up and hugged me, seeming exhausted. But I pushed him away. Danielle came up and hugged me as well.
I didn’t dare to push her.
“Poor Skylar, you must have suffered a lot. It’s all my fault. I didn’t teach Matthew well.”
I comforted her. “It’s okay, Danielle. It’s over.”
Matthew stood in the corner of the ward without saying a word, full of guilt. He didn’t expect me to jump from the room either.
“Go! Kneel before Skylar!” Yannick ordered Matthew.
Matthew walked over obediently, and I turned to Noah for help. Noah immediately pulled him up and said, “Skylar can’t take it.”
“Yes, Yannick. You’ve raised me for so many years. So this time, just consider me giving it all back to the Harrington family.”
As Danielle heard my words, she cried louder, “Skylar, are you
Chapter 12
trying to make a clean break with us?”

I shook my head. It was not about distancing myself from them. but from Matthew.
“Yannick, Danielle, I used to be bad and cause you a lot of
trouble. I’m sorry for that. My parents passed away carly. Thank you for raising me. You are just like my biological parents in my heart.”
Yannick also couldn’t help crying, came over, and patted my hand. “I’m so sorry, Skylar. It’s all our fault.”
We talked a lot. Then Yannick and Danielle left and told me to rest and accept my treatment in peace. They said they would come to see me again tomorrow.
But Matthew stood outside the door and refused to leave.
He asked, “Skylar, We can never be together anymore, right?”
Hearing this, Noah wanted to go up and beat him. But I stopped him.
“Yes,” I answered, “The past seven years have been so painful. Matthew, how many seven years can I have in my life?”
Noah took me to the police station after I left the hospital. With his help, all the criminals who kidnapped me were caught.
“Well, I heard Mr. Smith went to work as a bodyguard for a rich family after he left the army. Why is he back in his old trade this
Chapter 12 time?”
“Come on! Haven’t you heard that? Mr. Smith is in love with a wealthy lady. But the lady was kidnapped, so of course, Mr. Smith had to stand up for his lover!”

And here I was, the client, sitting out in the hallway eating the cupcake Noah bought me and listening to gossip about me.
The two policemen then noticed me and asked, “Miss, Why are you sitting here alone? Where is your family?”
I pointed to the room.
And Noah came out with a gloomy face.
The two policemen stood at attention and saluted at once.
“Mr. Smith!”
“You two, stop talking nonsense.” Noah pulled me up from the chair.
The two policemen widened their eyes, probably unaware that the little girl in front of them was the girlfriend of their former captain.
I deliberately said, “Why? I think it’s funny.”
Noah seemed speechless. So were the two policemen.
