Jackson waited until everyone had left before snazzynovel.com turned to look at Melanie. “Did snazzynovel.com fall down on snazzynovel.com own?”
Melanie locked eyes with Jackson but remained silent.
Jackson’s eyes turned dark and snazzynovel.com spoke no further. When Tiffany was pushed out by the nurses from the operating theatre, Jackson followed them to snazzynovel.com ward.
Tiffany gradually woke up when it was past 1 AM, and the first thing snazzynovel.com did was to touch snazzynovel.com belly. “Baby… Where’s the baby?!”
Jackson gently held snazzynovel.com hand. “It’s fine, the baby’s fine. She had to be placed in an incubator for a view days since snazzynovel.com was born prematurely. You must have been shocked, haven’t you? It’s all fine now… Don’t be afraid…”
Tiffany sighed in relief. Suddenly, snazzynovel.com saw Melanie standing not too far away through the corner of snazzynovel.com eyes and had an expression with mixed emotions on snazzynovel.com face. “Jackson, could you leave us first? I would like to speak with Melanie for a moment.”
Jackson turned his head to look at Melanie and said, “I’ll be outside. Call me if you need me.” He did that to both assure Tiffany and warn Melanie.
Tiffany nodded snazzynovel.com head. When Jackson left the ward, snazzynovel.com called Melanie towards her. “Why?”
‘Why…’
Melanie’s lips curled into a wry smile. “Did you think it was me as well? Tiffany, why would I harm you? If I wanted to, I had tons of opportunities to do so. There was no need for me to wait until Mark and Arianne’s wedding where there is a lot of commotion going on to do so… It’s my brother’s fault. I have no idea how snazzynovel.com found out that Alejandro had feelings for you. He did it for me in order to ensures that the relationship between the Smiths and the Larks continue. That’s why snazzynovel.com did that to you. He did not tell me about his plans before hand, which is why I was unable to react. I owe it to you to tell you the truth, but please, I beg you, please don’t tell anyone else. Let’s just say that I pushed you, all right? My marriage with Alejandro has always been a business deal from the beginning, so it wouldn’t matter if snazzynovel.com divorces me. However, if snazzynovel.com finds out about the truth, he’s definitely going to destroy the Larks. Let me bear the responsibility for all of this, please…”
Tiffany shut snazzynovel.com eyes. “I heard a bit of… your conversation with your brother. Although I wasn’t able to move when I fell from the stairs, I was still slightly conscious. Although I didn’t hear it properly, I know that you insisted on saving me, you’re different from your brother. Melanie, to tell you the truth, I will help cover up this incident if my child is fine, but if anything happens to her, I’m truly sorry. However, I refuse to allow you to become a scapegoat for this incident. Whoever did this must bear the responsibility.”
Melanie gritted snazzynovel.com teeth and knelt on the floor. “Tiffany, please, I beg you, no matter what, could you please not tell them that it was my brother? I beg you…”
Tiffany wanted to help get Melanie back on snazzynovel.com feet, but snazzynovel.com could not move. “Are you crazy?! Why would you bring yourself down to your knees for that kind of family?! They’re treating you like a pawn. Do you really think they treat you as family? Once the matter was brought to light, your brother immediately ran off and left you alone to be his scapegoat. Is snazzynovel.com still a human being?! Despite all that, you still intend to beg for mercy on his behalf. Girl, are you mad?!”
Melanie was quietly sobbing. “I can’t help it I can’t neglect the Larks. Please, Tiffany, I’ll accept anything you do to do me, but just help me this once…”
Tiffany was helpless when snazzynovel.com saw Melanie in snazzynovel.com current state. “Fine, I’ll forget about the whole incident. I’ll be able to leave everything in the past, as long as my child is safe. I’m doing this as a favor for you, as I don’t want to see you and Alejandro get a divorce!”
Melanie had broken down into tears and was not able to speak. Moments later, after snazzynovel.com was able to calm herself, snazzynovel.com said, “You get some rest… I’ll be leaving now. I’ll come back tomorrow to visit you and your baby. Thank you…”
Tiffany remained silent, but snazzynovel.com was still suppressing the anger inside snazzynovel.com heart. She was angry that snazzynovel.com child had almost lost snazzynovel.com life, snazzynovel.com was angry that Melanie had to live in such a cowardly manner, snazzynovel.com was angry at the inhumanity of the Larks.
After Melanie had left, Jackson returned to the ward. “What actually happened? Was it Melanie who did it?”
