A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 849

He could promise to take her side all he wanted right now. But when push came to shove, the moment he doubted her, he would say: You shouldn't have done that. He would say: She's not that kind of person, you're being too sensitive.

In the end, it would always be Tanya's fault. She would always be the villain in his eyes.

Seeing the quiet resignation in her eyes made Darian's head pound.

Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at the screen, saw his mother's name, and immediately hit decline, his irritation spiking.

It rang again immediately.

He looked at Tanya.

"You'd better answer it," she said dryly. "Otherwise she'll just take it out on me, and I really don't feel like going to prison today." Rowena had explicitly threatened to hold her legally accountable for hurting Yulisa, fully aware that Tanya was carrying her grandchild. The woman was utterly ruthless.

Unable to withstand Tanya's piercing gaze, Darian stepped aside and answered. "What is it now?"

"Are you coming to the hospital to see the absolute mess your girlfriend made?"

Darian's head whipped back toward Tanya. She was calmly continuing to pack her bags, fully intending to leave.

His temples throbbed violently. "What happened?"

"Yulisa's wound is infected!"

"That woman completely ruined Yulisa's face, and you're still protecting her?" Rowena screamed through the speaker.

"It was a shallow cut! How could it be infected?" Darian demanded.

"How could it? It's infected, which means it's going to leave a scar! Do you have any idea what scarring a girl's face means, Darian? Get to the hospital right now!"

"I'm not going," he snapped, his temper flaring. "What am I supposed to do there? I'm not a doctor. I can't heal her."
