Only you in my love novel Chapter 789

As soon as they stepped out of the ward, Bryant led Valerie to the end of one corridor where no one would bother them.

He asked her coldly, "Did you push her down the stairs?"

Fearing that someone might overhear their conversation, he made sure to leave Michelle's name out.

It would have been safer to discuss this at home, but Bryant couldn't wait to hear the truth from his cousin's lips.

He used to think that, no matter how badly she acted, Valerie was not capable of killing someone. Now, he wasn't so sure.

Valerie looked away to stare at the wall but said nothing.

She was eerily calm for someone being interrogated.

After a pause, she answered casually, "Yes, but so what?"

Bryant's eyes widened in shock. It took about half a minute for the truth to sink in.

Wrestling his expression into a poker face, he said, "You shouldn't have done that, Valerie."

"Well, I did, and there's no turning back." She finally locked gazes with Bryant, but her smile was insincere as she sneered.

"If I could rewind time, I wouldn't have pushed her. Lucky Michelle. She survived after such a fall without any brain damage or memory loss. Meanwhile, I have to get engaged to another man."

Valerie was not satisfied, but she knew when she had to admit defeat.

"Leon and Nina are both watching over Michelle. How lucky! Since she's so lucky, what does it matter if I pushed her?"

Based on her reaction, Bryant knew that she had given up on Leon. He sighed and told her, "From now on, keep the truth to yourself."

"I know." Valerie nodded gloomily.

Bryant felt his mood soften as he looked at her. He added, "It's good that you know when to quit. This way, you can protect yourself. If you continue to bother them, I fear that you won't be able live peacefully for the rest of your life."

"Yeah," Valerie agreed coldly and left.

When the two of them walked out of main entrance of the hospital, they passed James and his wife, Emma.

Bryant's and James' gazes locked, and they nodded at each other in greeting.

Emma, however, observed the absent-minded Valerie. She kept staring at her until she couldn't see her anymore.

"What are you looking at?" James frowned. "Bryant already has kids!"

Emma looked up to smile at her jealous husband and pretended not to understand what he meant.

"Are you blaming me for not having a baby?"

"No, no." Successfully distracted, James put an arm around his wife and directed her inside the hospital. "I don't want children for the time being. We're still young so we should focus on our careers while we can."

"I see." Emma grinned.

Because they were both focused on their respective careers, neither of them had any plans to have a baby. Moreover, the Shi family was occupied with two boys at the moment. Don was the naughty one, often getting Van into trouble. The two of them made people worry and kept everyone busy.

James and Emma had just found out about Michelle's situation that evening so they rushed over to visit.

It was Michelle who spilled the beans in their group chat.

Emma had asked about her business trip, but Michelle had been enjoying the past three days with her boyfriend that she got a little complacent. She had let it slip that she was in the hospital because of an accident which resulted into an injury that required stitches.

She had failed to hide the truth from them.

But Michelle made James and Emma promise to keep it from her parents.

When the couple arrived at the ward, the door was ajar. James pushed it open, and they saw three other people in the room.

They recognized Amy and Leon, but the two were accompanied by a girl in her twenties.

James thought that the stranger looked familiar so he asked her, "Have we met before?"

Emma turned to look at him.
