Chapter 136: Chapter 134

Luna was taken aback for a moment, but quickly composed herself. She wasn’t afraid at all and raised a chair, ready to smash it.

Ariel cowered, hugging her head and looking terrified.

"Darling!" Mitch quickly grabbed the chair from Luna, pulling her into his arms "Don’t get physical, what if you hurt our baby? Remember what the doctor said, stability is good for the baby"

Luna’s eyes burned with fury "Mitch! If you continue to defend her in front of me, I swear I’ll divorce you!"

"No way!" Mitch answered firmly, glancing at Ariel crouched on the floor, his gaze no longer sympathetic but wary and disgusted.

Not only was Luna surprised by his response, Ariel also couldn’t help but look up at him.

Ever since Damon introduced her to his social circle, her innocent and naive image had won over many, except for Damon’s family.

Then, another person appeared at the door.

I turned my head to see Damon standing coldly, looking at the chaotic scene in the ward, his tone irritable. "What happened?"

"I’m fine, Luna just misunderstood me, so she came to ask me some questions." Ariel got up, clutching her injured forehead

Her eyes were full of grievance, looking straight at Damon.

Mitch’s eyes widened in anger. Ariel’s words were essentially complaining to Damon about Luna, weren’t they?

"Ariel, I think my wife didn’t misunderstand you" Mitch couldn’t help but retort.

Ariel looked visibly shocked, seemingly unable to understand why Mitch, who had always protected her, was suddenly cold towards her.

Damon’s deep, frosty gaze moved from Ariel to Luna and Mitch. It was hard to decipher his thoughts.

"Mitch... Did I do something wrong?" Ariel’s eyes welled up. "I know Luna is your wife and she’s pregnant, so I don’t want to fight with her. She wanted to hit me with a chair, I endured it, but I’m sick too!"

Mitch’s face turned ugly. He seemed to want to spit out the words he had just heard, but after seeing Damon, he held himself back.

I just glared at Damon, waiting for him to defend Ariel.

Damon came over and helped Ariel sit on the bed, his voice indifferent." If you’re not feeling well, don’t move around."

Ariel immediately looked like she was on the verge of tears, as if she was greatly wronged. "Mr. Coleman, I know many people hate me, but now even Mitch"

Damon pulled out his phone and opened a video, interrupting Ariel. "Did you post this video?"

It was a video of Ariel apologizing to me. It had gone viral, with many people thinking I had pressured Ariel into apologizing.

Why was he asking about this?

Ariel seemed taken aback, sensing something was off about Damons attitude. She carefully replied, "It was Nicole who suggested I apologize to Eliana. After all, I did hurt her. I just hoped she could forgive me, and we could make peace..."

Her explanation sounded perfect. She shifted the blame to Nicole and kept the good intentions for herself

Damon might be moved by what a kind girl she is!

"Ariel." Damon interrupted Ariel again, his expression as cold as frost. "I told you not to try to hurt her in any way. What are you trying to express with this video? That she hates you, bullies you, so you had to apologize?"

His words left me, Luna, and Mitch stunned.

Ariel just stared at him in a daze.

Soon, two lines of tears slid down Ariel’s cheeks. She was full of grievances. "Everything’s my fault, even apologizing is my fault, Mr. Coleman. If you liked Eliana, why did you show interest in me in the first place? What’s so good about me that you’d help me, get close to me? Now that I fell for you, but you’re distancing yourself from me, blaming me. What should I do?!"

She was still pretending she didn’t know about Catherine.

Damon ignored Ariel’s grievance " Tl release a statement This matter ends here. I hope you don’t bother me with such unnecessary troubles in the future. Just wait for the day you can have surgery."

"I understand. I won’t overstep my bounds again" Ariel wiped away her tears, showing a bitter smile, then looked at me, as if blaming me

I was still immersed in Damon’s cold blame towards Ariel. What were his feelings towards Ariel? Was it purely because of Catherine’s heart that he kept indulging her?

Catherine was his biggest regret in life, and I understood his inability to let go.

Now the heart that was beating inside Ariel had once loved him.

But why do I feel so desolate at this moment? I didn’t lose to a living person, but to a memory less heart

"Luna, I’m going to leave." I felt a bit suffocated and told Luna before turning around and leaving.

Luna immediately followed, with Mitch close behind.

In the elevator, Luna was puzzled. "What’s Damon’s deal? Why was he so cold to Ariel? Ariel’s already into him, shouldn’t he be sympathetic?"

I looked at Mitch, who also looked confused. "Ariel has a heart condition, he should be more concerned about her."

I doubted he knew about Ariel’s heart transplant, thus being somewhat clueless about the situation.

Now, besides me, Damon, Ariel, and Karen, no one should know the inside story. Even Joshua and Jones I had never told.

This wasn’t something I needed to reveal. They would naturally find out when the time was right.

Just as I exited the hospital, Karen walked up to me. The moment she saw me, her face subtly changed, showing a hint of repulsion and disgust.

I talked to Harry a couple of days ago, and heard that Karen quit her job to take care of Ariel when she was sick.

I gotta hand it to Karen for being so good to Ariel

"What the hell are you doing here? Here to stress Ariel out again?" Karen asked coldly.

"Eliana, who’s she? "Luna asked with a frown

"An old colleague from when I worked at abroad. Her name’s Karen", I replied

Luna has a good memory, especially for those unpleasant things I’ve mentioned before. She remembers them as if she’s a memo pad, crystal clear.

Karen’s identity, and her current relationship with Ariel, I’m sure Luna remembers it all too clearly

The next second, Luna was giving me this look of utter disdain. "Oh, so it’s Ariel’s friend. What a hypocrite!"

"Just because Ariel happens to look like her deceased sister, she acts all high and mighty, putting on this show of being all moral and righteous. If that ain’t a hypocrite then I don’t know what is."

Hearing this, Karen turned red with anger. "Watch your mouth! Don’t think I won’t lay a hand on you because you’re pregnant"

I immediately stepped in front of Luna, fixing Karen with a cold stare." If you dare lay a finger on her, I can’t promise what will happen to you, Karen. You’re in my territory now."
