Chapter 1043
Am I fated to be a backup plan forever? Why am I always one step too late to snag a good man? As if it's not
embarrassing enough to seduce a married man, the guy's wife even caught me in the act. If I wake up now, she's
going to kill me. I better pretend I'm still unconscious. However, Suella was not cut out for acting. Her eyes were
still rolling around behind her eyelids, but someone who had blacked out wouldn't have that kind of reaction.
A smirk curled Ariel's lips. She knew Suella was acting, but she said nothing about it. Instead, she asked, "What's
with you and her?"
"Nothing. I don't know her." Danny raised his hand and swore, "I almost got run over. She warned me about it, and
the car ran her feet over instead, so I took her back. I swear I'm loyal to you, honey. My heart can contain no one
else but you." Ever since Rylantha set him up, Danny guarded his chastity closely. It was why he stayed away from
Suella from the moment he saw her.
Suella was incensed. What?! Do you think you're the victim here? You should feel proud you can have a scandal
with me!
"I trust you." Ariel smirked. "Even if you were to cheat on me, you'd pick someone with better looks or curves."
Danny froze and shrugged in confusion while Suella was infuriated. Is she implying I'm ugly and not hot? Suella
gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. Her nails were already digging into her flesh. Damn this woman!
Before she could calm down, Ariel said devilishly, "I think she's hurt inside. Perhaps a concussion. We should
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtarrange a craniotomy for her in case her situation worsens."
Hearing her words, Danny finally realized she was merely kidding. He held his laughter in and went along with his
wife. "But that's dangerous. She might end up crippled from the waist down. Or even worse, she might live her
whole life in a coma."
Suella froze, holding her breath. What the hell? All I did was help him out. How did I end up in a situation like this?
This isn't what I expected!
"What can we do?" Ariel continued, "It's all in fate's hands now. Dr. Lorwhal is here, so we might as well turn a room
into a makeshift operating room and get on with it."
"No!" Suella leaped away angrily and snapped, "I'm a living person. You can't just decide my fate. This resort is in
the middle of nowhere. What if something were to happen to me? I saved your husband's life, and this is how you
treat me? How disgusting!"
Ariel crossed her arms, not feeling angry at all. She stared at Suella like she saw a joke. "Oh, you're talking fine.
Guess you're not dizzy anymore, huh?"
Angered and humiliated, Suella wanted to hide in a hole. Goddammit! What have I done? Now, they know I was
pretending to be unconscious all along.
Since Suella was Alicia's friend, Danny thought this should be enough lessons for her. "Here, have some water." He
handed a bottle of water over.
Suella tried to take the water, but someone was faster.
"Sorry." Ariel stuffed the bottle back into Danny's hand and whipped out her bag to get some money. She said, "The
water's custom-made for me. It might not be suitable for you. If you're that thirsty, take this money and buy
something to drink for yourself." She handed Suella some notes, staring daggers at her. Nobody can try to steal my
man.
Suella's face was as red as blood. She knew what Ariel was trying to say, and she was embarrassed that Ariel found
out about her intentions. If she took the money, she would be humiliated, but if she didn't, she would look like a fool.
In the end, she hobbled away in shame without taking the money.
Danny had conflicting emotions about this. "Miss Taggert is Alicia's friend. I think that was a bit too much."
"You feel sorry for her?" Ariel said coolly as she tucked her money away.
"Of course not!" the man exclaimed before raising his hand again. "If I were to fall for another woman, I… I'll cut
my d*ck off!"
"Then, who's going to d*ck me down?" She tossed the wallet to him and took two bottles of water. "Wait for me in
the room."
"Where are you going? I will come with you." Danny wanted to tag along.
"Ladies' matter. Stay out of it." With that, she entered the reception hall without saying another word.
…
Alicia was unpacking their stuff in Room 302 when Suella came hobbling in. She looked awful—it was as if she was
about to explode. "What happened?" asked Alicia. "And what's with your feet?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I—" Suella wanted to complain, but then she was reminded of what Ariel had said earlier. Ultimately, she
swallowed back her words. "It's nothing." She waved Alicia down impatiently. "Just sprained them. That's all."
"Is it serious? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"No. Just stay out of it."
Worried about Suella, Alicia kept asking for details, but Suella got into the bathroom and locked her out. Just then,
someone rang the doorbell, so Alicia answered the door.
She was met with a smiling Ariel. "Miss Whitney? Are you here for me?" Oh, Danny did say he would treat me to
something. She's probably here for that, I guess.
"Yes." Ariel smiled. "The resort's just opened, and normally, the water's quality would be… bad. I hope you've
prepared your own water in advance, but if you haven't, here's a little gift. You know how important water is to
women." She handed the water bottles to Alicia.
"Thank you." Alicia took the water. "You really planned this out."
"Of course. So, where's Miss Taggert?" Ariel craned her neck to look inside the room.
"Oh, she's in the bathroom. Do you need something from her?" asked Alicia.
"Nothing. Danny told me she fainted all of a sudden. While he was taking her to the reception hall, she seemed
dizzy and could barely hold herself up. Not until she met me, of course. I thought I should see her. Falling
unconscious out of the blue can be serious. If I can heal her, I will gladly do so."
Alicia was smart enough to catch on to the hidden message in Ariel's words, especially when she linked everything
to Suella asking her about Danny.
