Waiting just outside was Caleb. The moment we stepped out, our eyes locked onto him.

Marley’s face Lit up with joy, her cheeks turning a shade of crimson as soon as she saw him.
I couldn’t help but feel a sense of surprise. The way Marley was behaving now was a far cry from her confrontational attitude back in the ward.
Caleb, on the other hand, paid no attention to Marley and instead kept his gaze fixed on me.

I had no desire to engage with him, so I averted my eyes, deliberately avoiding his stare.
Suddenly, Marley’s voice took on a flirtatious tone. “Caleb, could you please help me with the wheelchair? Debra seems incapable of doing such a simple task.”
I rolled my eyes internally at her audacity. I released my grip on the wheelchair and walked ahead, leaving it to Caleb.
Along the way, Marley rambled on about their past, reminiscing about their sweet memories as if we were the only two people in existence.
The anger inside me burned, and I clenched the fabric of my clothes tightly, my hands stinging from the pressure.
After suffering for a while, we finally reached the venue for the conference.
It was a sizable gathering, with media personnel and the families of those affected in attendance.
Riley, positioned on a raised platform with a large screen behind her, bowed deeply and expressed her apologies.
“I’m truly sorry. This is entirely my fault. I failed to arrange timely inspections of the bamboo shed, which caused you all so much trouble. I offer you a formal apology.”
Prior to the conference, Riley had made extensive compensation arrangements. With the exception of a young boy who had suffered a broken leg, the injuries sustained by others were relatively minor.
People accepted her apology with no lingering resentment.
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Cooper. We all make mistakes sometimes. We understand how busy you’ve been with the welcoming ceremony.”
The residents of the town held a fondness for Riley and spoke up in her defense.
“Mrs. Cooper, we believe it was nothing more than an unfortunate accident.”
Her face contorting, Marley instructed the servant to push her onto the platform.

With a frown and tear-filled eyes, she wore a pitiful expression that tugged at the heartstrings of those around her.
At that moment, everyone Looked at her.
Marley sobbed, her voice choked with emotion.
“Everyone, I was seriously injured in this accident. I’ve lost the ability to walk because of it.”
She wiped her tears sadly, then composed herself, feigning strength. “I don’t want compensation, but a mere few words won’t suffice as an apology. At the very least, someone should sincerely apologize on behalf of Riley. Isn’t that only fair?”
Her gaze darted to me.
