Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown novel Chapter 46

Aaron rubbed his temples, his voice cold as he spoke, "Who told you that Serena pushed Cynthia?"

Matthew was momentarily speechless.

He glanced at Cynthia Lynwood.

Only then did he remember—Cynthia Lynwood hadn't said a word about Serena pushing her from the start.

Aaron's gaze shifted to Cynthia Lynwood as well.

"Cynthia, was it Serena who pushed you?"

Cynthia Lynwood wanted nothing more than to blame Serena, but there was a dangerous undertone in Aaron's deep, magnetic voice that gave her an ominous feeling.

Reluctantly, she said, "Matthew, you misunderstood, it wasn't Serena who pushed me. I got too excited and accidentally fell."

Matthew's expression froze for a moment before he retorted, "You were excited because she provoked you. In the end, it's her fault that you fell. You're not well; how could she not give you some space?"

Listening to Matthew's blatant accusations against Serena, Aaron felt a pang of discomfort in his chest.

"Being the weaker party doesn't always make one right," Aaron interjected.

Both Matthew and Cynthia Lynwood turned to look at Aaron, their faces falling instantly.

Especially Cynthia Lynwood.

She nearly bit her lip in frustration.

"I'm leaving now," Aaron tossed over his shoulder as he turned to go.

Matthew called after him, "Aaron, Cynthia fell..."

"You're the doctor. With you here, that's enough."

Matthew was left speechless.

The room fell into a silence that stretched for what felt like an eternity.

Suddenly, Cynthia Lynwood erupted, hurling her phone at the wall in fury.

Matthew rushed over to calm her. "Cynthia, please! Your health!"

"Aaron doesn't care about me at all. What's the point of living?" Cynthia lamented, her voice filled with despair.

Matthew's heart ached for her. "Cynthia, calm down. There are plenty of men in this world; you don't have to fixate on Aaron..."

"Matthew," Cynthia Lynwood sniffled, "I need some time alone to think."
