Crystal crawled her way over and started sniffling in front of me. “I’m so sorry for irritating you, but I’m serious about Lyle! If it weren’t because of the incident that had occurred in the past, I would never leave him! Please forgive me and patch things up with Lyle!”
If it weren’t because of my injured arms, I would have long slapped her in the face. Since the one rushing over would never believe me, I might as well take things out on her for momentary relief.
Lyle was the first to show up. He rushed over to help Crystal up and asked with a concerned look, “Crystal, what’s wrong with you? What’s going on?”
Crystal nestled in between Lyle’s arms and wailed, “Lyle, hurry up and apologize! Tell Yvonne you won’t be filing for divorce with her! It was never my intention to drive you away from her! I’ll leave and return to Anglandur soon! Just blame me for everything that has occurred and move on with Yvonne!”
Instead of burying her face in her hands, she looked at him in the eyes to show him her swollen cheeks.
The moment Benjamin rushed over with a bunch of people and saw Crystal wailing, he glared at me and yelled, “Yvonne, how dare you take things out on Crystal?”
“Ha!” I had enough of the foolish bunch and thought it wouldn’t make any difference to explain myself. Thus, I looked at them in silence, wondering if they had lost their mind for good.
All of a sudden, Lyle brought himself up and sprinted over in my direction. He tried to slap me in the face, but someone grasped his wrist and stopped him in the nick of time. A few seconds later, I heard the sound of someone’s bone cracking. Lyle ended up shrieking in pain in front of others.
Wow! I guess Zachary wasn’t lying when he told me he used to be in the army!
Irked, Lyle yelled while holding his injured wrist, “Zachary, what do you think you’re doing?”
