“Garry…” She cried as she hurried to him, but the cold air he emitted caused her to tremble and stop in her steps. She pushed past those thoughts and ran past him.
She stopped before him and said, “Why can’t you believe me? Garry, I did not do anything!”
“This is your last chance. Get out of my way.”
Gareth stopped and looked at the person in front of him. It sent chills down Linda’s spine and icicles straight to her heart when he spoke.
Linda sucked in a breath; tears continued to splatter to the ground.
Gareth would have pitied me before. I could even make him pity me with my acting. But now, he’s unmoving in his thoughts.
At this moment, Linda felt faint, and her brain couldn’t comprehend the situation. The man was walking away from her. She wanted to turn around to look at him, but her body wasn’t cooperating with her wishes. Her body suddenly felt weak, and her vision turned foggy. She couldn’t focus on the man’s silhouette, and her eyelids felt heavy…
‘Crash!’
Gareth heard the sound and frowned. He stopped and looked back to see Linda fainted on the ground. The annoyance in his eyes deepened. He stared at her unmoving body before giving his mother a call.
“Get someone from Linda’s family here; she’s fainted.”
“What happened?” Monica was shocked, but Gareth didn’t see the need to explain. He also didn’t care about Linda, so he hung up and walked away. From his experience, Linda could be faking it again. He only called his mother to help out of morality, in case she had fainted. He felt no more guilt toward Linda.
…
The engagement had been dissolved, but the Wickam family was in no hurry to announce it. The main reason was that the collaboration was still in progress.
