She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 120

From now on, he wouldn't extend her an ounce of kindness. He'd let her fend entirely for herself!

"Miles, is she still mad at you?

Let me go in and apologize. If I hadn't hurt myself on Mount Moriah, you would never have forced her out of the car."

Jade was teary-eyed, eagerly shouldering all the blame. This pitiful display of immense guilt instantly tugged at Miles's sympathy.

"Jade, this has nothing to do with you."

Jade dabbed at her eyes, her voice frail. "But it all goes back to my mistake. I never should have called you."

"She looks badly hurt. Did she get mugged?"

Miles froze as realization finally dawned on him.

So that's why her head was injured. She had been robbed?

No wonder she was so furious and refused to speak to him. The anger in his own chest subsided slightly.

Considering what she had been through, he decided to let her phone-dodging and ghosting act slide.

Jade motioned for Lynn to wheel her into the room. Her tone was incredibly gentle and apologetic.

"Quinn, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have made Miles pick me up. But no matter how angry you are, you shouldn't have just vanished."

"It's on me... Please don't blame Miles."

Remembering what the thug had confessed, Quinn whipped the covers off.

Her glare was like a shard of solid ice, carrying a bone-deep, homicidal hatred that only Jade could recognize.

"You must be terribly disappointed I didn't suffer the fate you paid for, Jade."

A sudden jolt of panic seized Jade's heart, but she expertly feigned utter confusion, playing the frail, innocent victim.

How can you be so incredibly blind and heartless, Miles?

Her chest heaved heavily, her eyes like ice picks. "Did you even bother investigating those men, Miles?"

"What?"

Jade dramatically pointed at Quinn's bleeding hand and shrieked in manufactured horror, "Oh my God, Quinn, your hand is bleeding!"

She then whipped her head toward Miles, shooting him a reproachful look. "Miles, when you made her get out of the car, did you forget to take back her expensive jewelry? It practically made her a walking target for thieves! Thank God she's okay... otherwise, I'd never forgive myself for the rest of my life."

Jade's frantic monologue successfully derailed Miles's train of thought, completely burying Quinn's critical question.

Jade was simply too pure-hearted and gentle for her own good. A wave of profound pity washed over Miles as he looked at her.

No one could have predicted this would happen. How could she carry all this guilt on her own shoulders?
