"It is obvious that Peyton timed it perfectly,spreading rumors before the reunion so she'd be able to manipulate me into marrying her."
"Forget it!"He smirked,and left.
Watching him leave,I coldly laughed.It seemed I'd automatically be guilty,regardless of my actions.Even if I did nothing,I would still be tagged guilty.
Mrs Reed sighed,shaking her head,her eyelids drooped.She was sad at the turn of events.
"I'm so sorry,Mrs Reed,"I murmured.Though she couldn't hear me,I couldn't help but apologize.
She was my mother's close friend and had always treated me like her own daughter since my parents passed away.
Before the car accident,she and Mason were the only light in my life.Basically,they were the source of my joy and I was genuinely happy then.
Afterward,despite Mason's constant lies in a bid to belittle me before her and everyone else,she still believed in me.
She genuinely cared and helped me find top doctors when she learned about my condition.If she found out that I was dead,would she mourn for me?
Perhaps she'd be one of the few to shed tears for me–she and my best friend,Skylar.
