Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed



Maggie and Scott rushed over to lend a hand as well.

The ambulance arrived in no time.

After identifying the patient, the nurse and doctor did a quick check before, with the help of Owen Reynolds and Corley, moving the patient onto the stretcher and into the vehicle.noveldrama

The accompanying nurse called out, "Any family members of the patient? Hurry up and get on!"

"I am!"

"I can!"

"Me!"

The three men spoke out simultaneously.

The nurse frowned slightly, "Two is enough, the rest of you can follow by car."

She casually chose Owen Reynolds and Corley. After all, these two had been at the forefront of the action, their faces etched with genuine concern and exhaustion.

As for the one left behind...

The moment the ambulance doors closed, the nurse caught a glimpse of Murray, reeking of alcohol and carrying the stench of a hangover, his eyes seemingly ready to lash out in violence.

Better not then.

Frustrated for not being able to follow the ambulance, Murray clenched his teeth in anger.

But soon, he jumped into his sports car, revved up the engine, and followed.

He hadn't looked at Grace once through it all.

Grace stood frozen, the cold winter wind making her feel a chill deep inside.

The bystanders started to murmur among themselves—

"What's with this soap opera drama? The boyfriend ran off with another woman?"

“Is the next episode about the abandoned girlfriend making a strong comeback, slapping faces left and right?”

"You've been watching too many dramas, haven't you?"

“That's the heir to a major corporation we're talking about. I heard Grace's family isn't that well-off, think she'll let go easily?"

"So what if her boyfriend is rich and ran off with another woman? Even if he got a mistress pregnant, I'd nurse her through her pregnancy, believe it or not?"

"Just look at what Grace is wearing, and the things she's holding. You can tell Mr. Sherwood is generous with his women, only a fool would break up.'

Sybil crossed her arms and sneered at her, "Hey, your boyfriend ran off, aren't you gonna chase him?”

Grace snapped out of it, offering a faint smile, “Desperation isn't attractive. Besides, I trust Murray; he won't let me down."

With that, she smoothed her

windblown hair, her tone soft, "I'm really worried about Roseanne; she seems to be in a bad way. It reminds me, you've made me realize I should visit the hospital. After all, we're from the same college; there's no need to act like enemies

Looking back at Sybil, she added, "Speaking of which, you and Slater knew how to contact the coach, yet you chose to withhold that information when Scott and Maggie were asking for help. I've been meaning to ask, what was your

intention in not helping?"

The onlookers didn't expect to witness a "moral drama" after the "relationship drama"!

This was turning out to be an even juicier story!

Sybil panicked, "What are you talking about?! I didn't have the coach's contact info! That was all Slater! Don't pin this on me!" Slater: "?"

Wait... how did this fire get directed at me?

Grace continued, "Really? Weren't

et

you part of the big group chat? All three coaches were in that chat. I wasn't added, or else I would have definitely reached out to Ms. Lin. After all, in matters of life and death, how can one act out of selfish motives?"

"You-" Sybil ground her teeth in frustration.

"Oh my God, I can't believe Sybil would do that..."

"And she's supposed to be a prodigy! How can her heart be so dark?!"

"I heard Ms. Edna is her aunt. Ms. Edna's actions against Ms. Payne over the years were quite evident, not even bothering to hide them. Of course, she would take her aunt's side and target Roseanne!"

"It must be jealousy! Roseanne's team just published in a Nature sub-journal, and she's afraid of losing her 'prodigy' title..."

Seeing the focus of the crowd successfully diverted, Grace curled her lips in satisfaction and walked away.
