Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 125

I got out of bed when I saw Sabrina brought food for me. I snacked on a grape as I rubbed my eyes. “Don’t even mention it. My eyes were only swollen because they got defiled by the sight of a pair of cheaters.”

Lyle and Crystal are the most disgusting and cruel people I have ever met. In the past, even if I disliked him, I would still treat him with civility because of Grandma.

But this time, I hate him to my very core. If I could, I would never want to see him again. And if I do see him, I would want nothing more than to give him a slap or two to vent my frustration.

“I’m guessing you’re talking about Lyle and Crystal, am I right?” Sabrina leaned in nearer and whispered, “Don’t tell me you still have expectations for Lyle? If so, even I will look down on you. You have a much handsome and better guy in all regards compared to Lyle by your side now. And if you’re still hung up on him, we are through. If your current guy isn’t your boyfriend, I would’ve hit on him.”

“I’m not dumb.” I shrugged as I stuffed myself with fruits while thinking about what I should wear to the cruise party tomorrow.

“You are dumb. That’s why you fell for that idiot, Lyle. Christopher is so much better than him. Do you know that?” Sabrina pointed to somewhere far. “Your happiness is right around the corner. If you don’t catch it, don’t come crying to me when you lost your chance.”

I followed the direction where her fingers were pointed at and saw Christopher with a group of outstanding men passing by the lake. Even so, he was the most dazzling among the group. Many girls

were hitting on him as well. He was, without a doubt, the center of attention everywhere he goes.

After all, in every young girl’s heart, their first crush would always be a man with a dangerous smirk.

“Even though we should advise ways for a marriage to last and not end, now that things had turned out this way, there’s no need for you to hold on to this marriage anymore. You would only end up getting hurt more should they try to do something terrible to you in the future.”

“Sabby, I know what you’re worried about. You’ve said so yourself, now that things had turned out this way, I would much rather find a tree and hang myself than settle for peace.”

I hit Sabrina gently with my fist. Worried about my injury, she chided, “Hey, be careful! You just recovered from a burn. It might scar.”

“No way!” I instantly became nervous at her comment. I couldn’t care less about my looks or if I might get a scar if I don’t have a loved one. But now that I have a man that I love, there’s no way I wouldn’t care about it. “Should we drive to the hospital for a quick check-up, then? Maybe do some skin grafting?” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Sabrina cackled, “Look at you being so nervous. What a rare sight indeed. Let’s go, then.”

After we got into the car, I noticed that we were not heading for the hospital but toward a luxury shopping district. Curious, I asked, “Where are we going? Aren’t we going to the hospital?”

“Look at you being all nervous over a minor injury. You’re really different now that you’re in love. You actually care about your appearance now. Relax, there wouldn’t be any scarring if you received

immediate treatment for a minor injury such as this. Besides, the doctor hired by the Lane family isn’t some quack, you know.”

Sabrina suddenly stopped her car at the side of the road. I was left puzzled. “Then what are we doing here?”

“There’s a cruise party in the afternoon. Crystal will steal your limelight if you attend it dressed like this. So of course we have to shop for a new outfit. You need to doll yourself up in the most beautiful outfit.”

I raised my right arm which was thickly bound in bandages, then waved the heavily-taped left hand. Even being covered by diamonds from head to toe can’t save me from all these bandages.

“Come on.” Sabrina pushed me into a boutique that sells evening gowns.

Once we had bought a gown, we immediately headed back. When I entered my room, I was surprised to find a package waiting for me. The package was wrapped in a way that it looked messy and ugly. What’s this? I didn’t order anything online. Also, the address is wrong.

What I found laying inside the hideous package after tearing it open was an exquisite-looking pink evening gown. It was gorgeous. There was even a matching set of ruby pendants next to it as well.

“Looks like I got worried for nothing. You have someone who spoils you now, unlike me.” Sabrina choked out a few fake sobs as she spoke.
