HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 1088

The scoreboard showed a five-point difference, then seven.

Eli began gripping the support item in her hand more tightly.

“Don’t panic,” Chris said calmly. “There’s still a lot of time.”

Eli nodded.

The whistle sounded again, and the next quarter began.

This time, both teams immediately played at a high tempo.

Josh received the ball and ran the Miller offense. He got past one Raven player, then tried to break through the opening between two other players.

“Josh!” Chris’s shout could be heard from the stands.

Josh kept moving.

However, when he tried to change direction to get past Raven’s defense, one of the opposing players moved too close.

Their bodies collided. Josh lost his balance. In an instant, his body crashed hard onto the floor.

“JOSH!”

The atmosphere in the sports hall, which had previously been filled with cheers, suddenly changed. The ball rolled away, but Josh did not immediately get up.

One of his hands could be seen supporting his body, while his other hand was in a position that made it difficult for him to move.

The referee’s whistle immediately sounded several times. The game was temporarily stopped.

“Josh!” Eli shouted in panic.

Without thinking, she immediately ran down from the stands toward the edge of the court.

“Eli!” Naomi called, but Eli did not stop.

She ran even faster.

Her heart was pounding so hard that it almost made her breathless. Just a few seconds ago, Josh had still been standing and playing as usual. Now, he was sprawled on the floor and had yet to get up.

When Eli reached the edge of the court, she saw Josh surrounded by his teammates and the medical team.

“Josh!”

Josh slowly lifted his face. Their gazes met.

The woman was still standing at the edge of the court with a pale face. Her hand tightly gripped the support item she had been carrying since earlier, while all her attention was focused only on Josh. Even after the game had been stopped, Eli seemed unable to think about anything other than the young man’s condition.

David stared at her for a few moments.

What exactly makes Josh so special to you, Eli?

They were both captains and were trying to lead their respective teams to victory. Then why was it that whenever something happened to Josh, Eli’s face always showed such great concern?

David slowly clenched his hand.

So annoying.

He did not understand why he felt bothered just because he saw Eli so worried about Josh. He should only have to think about the game. He should not care about who Eli was worried about.

However, the reality was different.

Since earlier, his eyes kept returning to Eli.

And the more he saw the woman standing there for Josh, the stronger his dislike for the young man became.

“David?” Natalie called. “Why... what’s wrong?”
