Miley’s newfound bravery faltered.
She peered through the door’s glass panel. There lay Neville, unconscious, with Susie holding his hand at his bedside.
It was like waking from a dream. Miley’s eyes left the scene, her mouth twitching slightly. She made the difficult decision to walk away.
Neville was engaged to Susie now.
Their own story had ended. Even if she discovered why he broke up with her, what future could they possibly have?
Dazed, Miley turned to leave but then saw Neville’s parents in the corridor.
Before she could prepare herself, Amya’s angry words struck her.
“You’re a curse. Haven’t you caused Neville enough trouble? Why are you still here? Do you want to keep hurting my son?”
Hurley’s expression grew stern, his voice harsh. “I once thought you were sensible. Clearly, I was mistaken. Your actions have brought shame to the Pierce family!”
Unfairly chastised and facing Neville’s parents, Miley felt upset but chose not to argue.
She replied evenly, “I just wanted to see Neville and thank him for saving my life. I apologize for any inconvenience.”
As she turned to leave, Amya persisted, blocking her path with a piercing gaze. “You fooled us with your seemingly sensible demeanor.
You’re nothing but opportunistic. I thought you’d leave after the breakup with Neville. But here you are, causing a scene on his engagement day. What kind of upbringing leads someone to act so maliciously?”
Miley intended to exit quietly, but Amya’s harsh words escalated.

Unable to bear it any longer, she finally spoke up. “Neville and I genuinely loved each other. He left due to some secret pain. A misunderstandings lie between us, and I won’t abandon our relationship until it’s cleared.”
Then, unexpectedly, another woman’s voice chimed in from behind.
“You mentioned a misunderstanding with Neville. I’d like to know what that is.”
Miley, hearing the voice, turned to see Susie at the door, her smile flawless.
Susie had overheard the commotion and recognized Amya’s voice. She stepped out just in time to catch Miley’s words.
Amya’s demeanor changed noticeably upon seeing Susie.
Brushing past Miley, she approached Susie with concern. “Susie, have you been here all night? Do you need a break?”
Susie replied calmly, “I’m fine. I want to talk to Neville once he’s awake.”
Her eyes flicked towards Miley, but Miley’s expression remained unchanged.
Sensing an opportunity to mend the engagement, Amya quickly turned her focus back to Miley, her voice harsh.
