He Didn’t Look for Me Until I Was Dead (by Durrin) novel Chapter 38

Her face was twisted with rage, and she looked like she was putting all her strength into it. If that slap landed on my face-

I’m afraid my face would swell to twice its size.

That can’t happen! I still have to go to work tomorrow!

The wind from Georgia’s swinging hand had already lifted my hair. I quickly dodged, then raised my hand to catch hers, and with a forceful motion, I flung her backward.

I used all my strength as well, so she lost her balance and fell straight back onto the coffee table.

The coffee table was knocked over, making a loud crashing sound.

Reginald’s voice rang out immediately: “Whitty! What happened!”

Almost instantly, he and Calvin rushed out from the kitchen.

One was holding a knife, the other a spatula.

Georgia was lying on the floor, clutching her aching waist and wailing, “Help, Whitney hit me.”

One of us was sprawled on the ground, while the other sat perfectly fine on the sofa.

Her words did sound quite convincing.

But Reginald didn’t even spare her a glance. He looked at me and asked, “Are you okay? Are you

hurt?”

I shook my head and said, “I’m fine.”

No one went to help Georgia up. Furious and humiliated, she shouted, “Can’t you all see? She pushed me! I’m the one who’s hurt, okay? What could possibly be wrong with her?!”

I couldn’t be bothered to explain and asked, “Are you badly hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital?”

Georgia got up from the floor by herself and snorted coldly at me, “Whitney, there’s no need for you to pretend to care.”

I turned to the two men standing worriedly at the kitchen door and said, “Go make dinner, we’re fine here.”

Reginald nodded and turned back toward the kitchen.

Calvin, however, looked back a few more times, still worried, before finally leaving.

Georgia, having failed in her scheme and suffered a loss instead, finally seemed to settle down. She sat on the sofa far away from me and didn’t say another word.

For some reason, over the past few years, Georgia and I have come to look less and less alike.

As I watched TV, I couldn’t help but wonder if it was because we had different approaches to makeup and fashion.

While I was lost in thought, Georgia suddenly turned her head and happened to meet my gaze directly.

She instantly bristled, snapping, “What are you looking at?! Are you trying to hit me again?!”

Speechless, I shifted my gaze back to the TV and said indifferently, “Do you think like you, with nothing better to do all day than plot against others?”

That remark hit Georgia right where it hurt.

She immediately jumped up, pointed at me, and shouted, “Whitney, don’t get too full of yourself! Don’t forget, without your hearing aids, you’re just a deaf person!”

“What parents would ever let their son marry someone with a disability?! Just wait to grow old alone!”

Although with the help of hearing aids, my daily life is no different from anyone else’s, the fact remains that I am deaf in both ears.

It felt as if a huge stone had suddenly crashed into my heart, dragging it down.

For a moment, I didn’t know how to refute Georgia’s words and could only sit there in a daze.

At that moment, Calvin’s voice rang out: “Georgia! If you keep talking nonsense, get out!”

His voice was stern and full of effort. Hearing this, Georgia’s eyes instantly turned red.

She pouted and pointed at me, saying, “What did I say wrong? She can’t hear, she’s just a deaf person!”

Calvin stepped forward and shouted angrily, “And why can’t she hear, huh?!”

“If you hadn’t stubbornly refused to leave back then, would Whitty have lost her hearing?!”
