He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 124

Intrigued by the drama, Scarlett stepped out of her room to get a look.

Down the corridor, Sylvia was practically crawling as she scrambled after Julian. But Julian never even spared her a glance, leaving her nothing but a cold, resolute view of his back.

He stepped into the elevator without looking back.

Sylvia collapsed onto the floor, wailing as if she'd suffered the greatest injustice in the world, playing the role of the ultimate victim to perfection.

The racket had drawn the attention of the other patients and their families in the VIP wing, and doors were cracking open up and down the hall.

Realizing she had an audience, Sylvia quickly registered how unhinged she looked and scrambled to her feet.

She wiped her tears, tugged her baseball cap down over her eyes, and pulled her mask up high. Confident no one could recognize her tear-stained face, she began to walk away.

But after just a few steps, her gaze locked onto a pair of eyes filled with chilling amusement.

Sylvia flinched, instinctively backing away. But then, as if something snapped in her brain, her expression twisted with malice.

A second later, she charged at Scarlett like a raging bull.

Literally—she lowered her head, intending to ram straight into her.

Startled, Scarlett swiftly dodged to the side.

Sylvia had been aiming right for Scarlett's stomach, but she wasn't nearly fast enough. She brushed past Scarlett's arm, lost her balance, and slammed headfirst into the doorframe with a resounding thud.

The impact sounded brutal. Scarlett winced instinctively, offering a silent moment of pity, before a deeply uncharitable laugh escaped her lips.

Sylvia had likely never experienced such a pathetic, humiliating moment in her entire life.

That laughter triggered Sylvia into a full-blown psychotic break. With bloodshot eyes, she lunged, grabbing a fistful of Scarlett's hair and yanking her down toward the floor with deranged strength.

“Scarlett! You're the reason my life is ruined!”

“I sent that photo to you! Why did you show it to my husband? You bitch, you just can't stand to see me happy, can you?!”

Sylvia had completely lost her mind, fueled by the manic strength of a wild animal.
