Chapter 3051
"How do you feel? Does it hurt anywhere?" Dustin asked worriedly while running his fingers through her hair.
Abelyn shook her head without saying a word.
Then, she slowly raised her head and asked out of the blue, "Dustin, do you think I'm a bad person too?"
Dustin gazed at the woman he loved and hesitated for a moment.
Truth be told, she wasn't a bad person.
She merely misunderstood Joan, and if that incident never happened, perhaps all of this wouldn't have existed either.
He believed that this woman was pure and kind in nature, but was merely blinded by her feelings sometimes.
"That's enough.Don't overthink it anymore and just find a time to explain everything to Joan.Don't worry.I'll stand by you no matter what."
Dustin patted her shoulder reassuringly.
If this was truly Abelyn's mistake, he wouldn't speak in her favor or make excuses for her.But after all, she only did all those things because she misunderstood Joan.
Hence, he believed that she deserved forgiveness.
"Abelyn."
Suddenly, Joan's voice sounded not far away.
Abelyn instantly started quaking in her boots.
What is she doing here?Is she here to laugh at me?Or to reprimand me? Nervous, she clutched Dustin's arm tightly.
Dustin held her hand gently, hoping to offer her some sense of security.
"Are you okay?" Joan inquired with concern as she made her way in.
"Hey, Joan.Don't worry.She's fine"
Dustin answered on Abelyn's behalf.
Upon seeing that Abelyn was completely unharmed, Joan finally heaved a sigh of relief.She was very compelled to ask the woman she regarded as a sister why she had set her up.
However, she withheld her question on second thought.
Forget it.I'll sit down and have a proper chat with her some other time.
