Fanny could sense from Christopher’s guilty expression that something was amiss.

Despite this, she remained understanding and put on a brave front. “It’s alright, Christopher. I’m just glad you’re here. Don’t worry, I’ll manage. I can handle this on my own.”
While speaking, Fanny suddenly bowed her head, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
However, she didn’t want Christopher to witness her vulnerability, so she purposely turned away. “I’m sorry, Christopher. I need to use the restroom.”
As she moved to leave the bed, Christopher reached out and stopped her. “Fanny, I apologize. It’s my fault. I’ve been extremely busy lately. The company landed a major project, and I need to excel for our future.”
Fanny nestled into Christopher’s embrace. “I understand.”
Christopher felt powerless.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to visit or that he ignored Fanny’s messages and calls.
Rumors had circulated that Fanny had hired someone to harm her father, and when Teresa found out, she strictly prohibited him from seeing her. Initially, he had planned to visit and clarify things regardless.
However, his father, Michael, intervened.
He intended to wait until the situation calmed down before visiting, but it only worsened.
It wasn’t until James personally came to visit that Michael, albeit reluctantly, relented.
After sharing a tender embrace, Fanny and Christopher slowly parted.
With tears in her eyes, Fanny looked up at Christopher and asked, “Christopher, do believe I would do such a thing?”

gossip. I fear that once I leave the hospital and my injuries heal, the rumors about me will only escalate.”
Christopher gently wiped away Fanny’s tears, “That won’t happen. The truth will prevail, and if there was any truth to the rumors, the police would have taken action by now, right?”
Fanny paled.
The reason she hadn’t been arrested was simply due to a lack of evidence at the moment.
However, the investigation would undoubtedly continue.
Despite her meticulous planning, what if something went awry?
Therefore, she and the Kins Family had agreed to keep the matter discreet. With the police inundated with cases daily, this wasn’t a top priority. As time passed and evidence grew scarce, the issue would fade away.
Yet, with the rumors circulating and heightened scrutiny, the police might allocate more resources to the case.
Fanny sighed. “Gossip has a way of inciting emotions. Remember the actress who portrayed a villain in a popular TV series? She was so convincing that she was pelted with eggs at the
market.”
Reflecting on this, Fanny felt a sense of unease. “If this continues to spread, some individuals unaware of the truth may believe the accusations. Look at Bri… Look at her. Didn’t she harm me?”
After a moment of contemplation, he inquired, “Fanny, how did this situation escalate? Do you know who is maligning you behind your back?”

If that’s the case, does it mean that Linda really has something in her hands?
He had always trusted Fanny’s integrity.
