Chapter 130

Falling from that height, a fracture was lucky. But Chloe was the crown jewel of the Bennett family and the future Mrs. Hale. Both families were frantic. Miranda had already contacted orthopedic specialists from abroad to treat

her.

“I’m not going.” Mia moved her legs, which were still weak and shaky. “I’m not close with Ms. Bennett. There’s no reason for me to be there.”

Besides, she knew Chloe was the last person who would want to see her.

‘I’ll drive you home then.” Jaxon pulled out his car keys. “Can you walk? Want me to carry you?”

‘No thanks. I can manage on my own.”

Her face was still deathly pale, and her voice carried a slight tremor.

‘I’m not letting you go like this,” Jaxon insisted. “Relax, everyone’s gone. No one’s going to see me dropping you

off.”

To the guests, Mia was a nobody. To Ethan, she was just a subordinate, nowhere near as important as Chloe.

They had both fallen at the same time. But not a single soul had spared a glance for her.

Mia was used to it, yet she couldn’t stop the pang of disappointment in her heart.

I’m sorry, Mr. Rivers. I just want to be alone.”

She turned and left. Her legs were still like jelly, and every step felt like she was walking

axon watched her leave, shaking his head. He felt a wave of pity for Ethan’s blindness.

Suddenly, his eyes caught something black in the corner of the stairs.

He walked over and picked it up. It was a broken high heel.

Looking closer, he noticed the break wasn’t clean-there were traces of glue on it.

His brow furrowed instantly. He turned and hurried toward the Security Department to pull the surveillance footage.

At the hospital, Chloe was still undergoing examinations.

Miranda, Sandra, and the others were in deep discussion with the doctors.

Ethan stood by the window, a lit cigarette between his lips. His eyes were dark, and his entire face was set in a grim, rigid line.

His phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out to answer.

It was Lila. She asked, “How is Mia?”

From where Lila and the others had been sitting, they had only seen a blur of motion. They’d seen Mia stumble.

At the thought of Mia being pregnant, Grandma Hale’s blood pressure had spiked from the shock. Lila had been forced to take her home immediately to get her medication settled.

“She’s perfectly fine,” Ethan snapped, the words practically spat through his teeth.

The image of Jaxon holding Mia was burned into his mind.

“Good. That’s a relief.” Lila exhaled, terrified something had happened to Mia. “Is Chloe okay?”

“Hairline fracture.” Ethan bit down on his cigarette, his voice cold and muffled.

“Oh,” Lila said. “Well, that’s fine then. Grandma’s blood pressure is under control now, so don’t worry about us. Just take care of Chloe.”

*Click. Lila hung up.

Ethan pocketed his phone and crushed the cigarette out. The glow died in his dark eyes, leaving them clouded with frustration.

‘Chloe is so afraid of pain, and a fracture… she was so worried about us that she held back her tears the whole

time.”

Sandra Bennett’s tears fell freely. “Miranda, look at this child. She’s so selfless!”

Miranda looked pained as well. “Chloe has always been a good girl. Don’t worry, I’ve already called the specialists. I won’t let her have any permanent damage from this.”

How can I not worry?” Sandra asked pointedly. “Ever since she started dating Ethan, has she had a single good day? First she was bullied online, and now this…”

She might as well have said it outright: Mia Carter had caused this.
