No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 540

How was Noelle supposed to choose? In the end, she still ended up taking the fall.

Donovan frowned and said, "I was already on my way at the time. I didn't answer the phone because I was dealing with something else."

Noelle retorted, "But what if you guys hadn't made it in time? What if he died because no one amputated his leg?"

"That's impossible. The doctors wouldn't have just let him die. But Noelle, you're responsible for this—you owe Wyatt," Donovan replied, shoving all the blame onto Noelle.

Noelle stared at him coldly. "That's not what you said back then. You told me that if you couldn't make it in time, I should listen to the doctors."

Donovan argued, "Noelle, you must have misheard me. I said to have the doctors do their best to save Wyatt's leg, not just agree to amputation the moment they suggested it."

His face darkened as he grew irritated. "You were young and scared back then. You must have misunderstood what I said."

Noelle took a deep breath. She knew that no matter what she said now, Donovan would never admit it. She had seen through the Liddells' selfishness a long time ago.

Her gaze turned icy as she looked at Wyatt. "I signed the papers because the doctors advised it, and I don't see how that makes it my fault. If you have a problem with it, sue the doctors from back then."

"Noelle, are you seriously saying I'm blaming you unfairly?" Wyatt's voice was heavy with resentment. "Even Carl said amputation wasn't the best option. But you didn't insist on making the doctors try harder—you just went along with it."

For years, he had been consumed by this regret. If Noelle had not agreed to the amputation, he would not have ended up like this.

Xenia's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as she spoke in a sickeningly sweet tone. "Noelle, I never said anything all these years, but now I have to speak the truth. Back then, you were the one who suggested the amputation to the doctors."

Noelle stepped forward and grabbed Xenia by the jaw. "So you're making up nonsense, too, huh?"
