Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 881 - Bab 890

"I'm not trying to make a scene. I'm saying this as her best friend," Alice continued. "May had just woken up, and you guys actually told her the truth right away. How could she possibly handle that? "Plus, until recently, all of you were on Sharon's side! May doesn't exactly have a good impression of you all." She was being indirect. In truth, Macie loathed the Hales."What she needs most right now is companionship and comfort, and I'm the best person for that!" she added. "All I want is to go upstairs and take a quick look at her. If she's awake, I'll keep her company. If she's still unconscious, I'll leave right away." Elias fell silent for a couple of seconds before ultimately agreeing to let Alice come up. Mitch led her to the elevator. While following after him, Alice grumbled, "Seriously, what were you all thinking? May just came to and hasn't recovered yet, and you just had to dump the truth on her. "Now, look at what you've done… She regained consciousness only to end

One of the things Sharon had taken from Macie was the couple who had wanted to adopt her in middle school.The orphanage director had recommended her to them. However, on the very day they visited the orphanage, she was accused of stealing. Macie had defended herself as best as she could, and even the director had spoken up for her. Sharon, however, had deliberately rummaged through Macie's bag, sending a handful of other kids' hairpins and toys tumbling out. Macie could still remember Sharon's sanctimonious tone and the way she had looked down on her and lectured her. "Macie, I'm your best friend, so I don't want to see you go down the wrong path. Please don't hate me for exposing you. I'm only doing this for your own good!"Macie, who had only been ten years old, could only deny it over and over. However, to the visiting couple, it only looked like she was refusing to admit the truth. Soon, all the other children in the orphanage ganged up on her. In the end, she could only c

"Let him up," Edmund said. Considering Sean's status and all the times he had helped Macie, he felt that they had no reason to stop him. Mitch nodded and went downstairs to personally welcome Sean.Mira, who was always prudent, asked, "Elias, did Sean ever mention that he's close friends with Macie?" She deliberately used the phrase "close friend" because Sean had shown up both in the morning and at night. Considering the time of day, Sean, as CEO of Hart Group, should have been tied up with work and wouldn't normally leave the office so early."He only mentioned that they were friends," Elias answered.Mira nodded, thinking that it would certainly explain why Sean cared so much about Macie."However, he's only been back in the country for a little more than a month. Alice is the one who is actually close to Macie," Elias added.Mira studied him, sensing that there was more behind his words. As expected, he continued, "I don't think he sees Macie as just a friend. I asked him

Looking at the middle-aged woman before her, Alice sighed inwardly without saying a single word. She didn't think that Mira was wrong. The Hales had sided with Sharon all this time because they truly believed she was their daughter. They had protected her and allowed her to hurt Macie time and again, thinking they were acting out of parental love.However, now they wanted Alice to put in a good word for them… Macie was her best friend, and she was still struggling to pull herself together. Alice didn't know how she could possibly take the Hales' side."I'll see what I can do," Alice said at last. Mira thanked her over and over. Alice then thought of something and looked up at Elias. "What about Sharon? Is she behind bars?"Elias shook his head. "We've only apprehended her accomplice, Raymond, the orphanage director. Their operation failed last night. Sharon caught wind of it and fled in the middle of the night. We still haven't caught her."Alice froze for a moment before clenc

The dining room was quiet. Alice ate in silence until she received a message from Julian, asking how Macie was doing. She replied, and after reading her response, he breathed a sigh of relief. Macie was safe, and that was what mattered. As for her issues with the Hales, those could be settled later. Still, he wanted to see her in person, but the Hales wouldn't let him go upstairs.He asked Alice for help, and she promised to bring him along the next day. Julian thanked her sincerely, and they agreed on a time. …The next morning, before leaving for the hospital, Alice called Mitch to ask if Macie had woken up. If she hadn't, she intended to drop by later. "Ms. Smith is awake. Please come as soon as you can, Ms. Hart," Mitch answered.After hearing that, she thought something was wrong and hurriedly inquired, "What's wrong? Did her condition worsen?"Sean, who was beside her, turned toward her when he heard that."Ms. Smith is fine. Don't worry," Mitch assured her. "The docto
