My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 604

Seraphina studied the trembling girl. "Would you mind telling me exactly what happened?"

"I'm not here to judge you. I just want the truth."

Skylar bit her lip, still warring with her hesitation.

But then her father's piercing, disappointed voice echoed through her mind.

"It was Martha," she finally choked out. "She was part of the first group to make it downstairs with Melody."

"As soon as she got out, reporters swarmed her, begging for a statement. She just told them that someone had helped us."

"When they asked who it was, Martha suddenly spotted Melody in the crowd. She got so worked up, she pointed straight at her and tried to say she..."

"But then Martha passed out before she could finish."

"We hadn't eaten anything all day. We were actually heading to my restaurant to grab a shift meal when the fire started."

Seraphina pieced the entire puzzle together in an instant.

Martha had actually been pointing at Melody to expose her cowardice, but the exhaustion and severe low blood sugar had caused her to collapse mid-sentence.

That single, chaotic misunderstanding had spectacularly misdirected the media, crowning Melody as the fearless savior.

Tiffany clenched her fists, practically vibrating with rage, but she bit her tongue.

"If you knew the truth," she finally snapped, unable to hold back, "why did you stay silent? Why let her steal the credit?"

"Because..." Skylar looked down, devastated.

Seraphina pulled her friend back by the arm. "Tiff, let it go. Stop interrogating her."

Skylar stared at the gentle woman, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.

"I'm so sorry," the young girl whispered. "When I saw the mob coming after you online, I tried to post the truth from my own accounts to defend you. But the trolls just called me a liar."

"And then Melody found me. She knew about my dad's surgery, and she offered to pay for everything, right through to his full recovery."
