Chapter 146 Intricate Bonds: Secrets and Rivalries Among Friends

"I didn't find it very exciting!" I glared at Greta, as she kept talking nonsense.

Tristan's future true love is also Emilia. He just hasn't fallen for Emilia yet, but it's only a matter of time. I shouldn't have thought that Tristan fell in love with me. That would be too narcissistic.

Besides, I wasn't Emilia. I couldn't bear to let two men who grew up together break off their relationship because of me.

I couldn't tell Greta and the others about Tristan's future competition with Frederic for Emilia's affection. I could only verbally correct their fantasies.

After chatting for a long time in the ward, the four of us were locked in. Cecelia received a call from the company and had to rush back to work.

I let Greta and Janessa go back as well, without having to accompany me.

"I had to accompany you!" Janessa blamed herself and refused to leave.

"Celia had to go to work, while Jan and I had nothing to do. We decided to take turns." Greta picked up her bag and tossed her hair casually. "I haven't told your parents about your injury yet. It's up to you whether you want to tell them or not. I have something to take care of today. I need to teach a young guy a lesson. I'll come back tomorrow."

After speaking, Greta quickly left.

Janessa was very confused. "What young guy? Who Greta was talking about?"

"Are you silly? Her little boyfriend!" I laughed.

"Oh, I forgot about her ability in this aspect!" Janessa slapped her forehead.

There was someone with me and time passed quickly. I called my mom and told her that Ashlee's situation had been resolved. But I didn't mention that I had been injured and hospitalized.

My mother's heart was a little weak and she was still in the hospital. I didn't want to upset her with this matter.

Until the sky outside the window darkened, I didn't see Frederic come to see me.

Janessa said that after Frederic had taken me to the hospital, he went to deal with Leonel and their affairs.

I recalled the scene of him rushing into the warehouse to save me, my heart beating faster. But as soon as I thought of Emilia appearing behind him, my heart calmed down again.

I think that night, he was having a party with Emilia and their group of best friends, including Tristan.

Moreover, Emilia clearly heard my cries for help but pretended not to know. She wanted to mislead Frederic and the others to search elsewhere. This is enough to be etched in my memory.

A person who appears harmless and even naive, once they commit evil, can be even more terrifying.

After dinner, Janessa reluctantly went home after my repeated persuasion. I told her it was enough to come and accompany me during the day. I only sleep at night, so Janessa doesn't need to stay here.

After she left, I played with my phone for a while and unknowingly became sleepy again.

In a daze, I seemed to feel someone sitting down beside my bed. I wanted to open my eyes and take a look, but I was too sleepy to do so and ended up falling asleep again.

In the middle of the night, I woke up because of thirst. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Frederic sitting by my bed, looking at me.

"My goodness!" I was startled and my breath stopped for a moment.

"How did you wake up?" Frederic smiled unexpectedly, and there was a gentleness in his voice that I was not familiar with.

"I was thirsty," I answered truthfully.

He got up, took the cup from the bedside, and poured me a glass of warm water. "Drink it," he said.
