Female Novel
Chapter 1690 I'm Just Here To Help
Byron finally let go after Rosalie swallowed every drop of the antidote.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief as well.
Rosalie's pain seemed to have eased after taking the antidote, but her brows were still slightlyfurrowed.
Mary's tone became much more relaxed. "The antidote has worked."
With that said, she looked up at the experts who were standing on the other side. "Thank you for yourhard work. Get some rest, everyone. I’ll be here."
The experts were indeed physically spent over the past few days. Upon Mary’s announcement, theynodded at her and turned to leave.
There were only three of them left in the ward.
The earlier situation was chaotic. So, Chloe stood at the door, never daring to enter.
Now that Rosalie's condition had stabilized and everyone had left, she slowly stepped forward, stoodstill by the bed, and looked curiously at the person on the bed.
The woman on the bed had a delicate face. Even though she was pale and, in a coma, her featureswere easy on the eyes, serene like a spring breeze.
Chloe, who had just met Rosalie for the first time, felt distressed as she witnessed what happened toher earlier.
Chloe was even more shocked to see Byron mouth-feed the antidote to her medicine disregarding hissafety.
Byron could deeply love someone to such an extent.
At that time, she fully understood why Wendy Fuller failed to obtain Byron’s heart after waiting for sixyears.
In the face of such deep love, even she had no chance at all.
Chloe looked at Rosalie, who was still unconscious, and then at Byron who could not hide his anxiety.She felt a sense of closure.
Initially, her family, the Lincolns, had also planned to ally with the Lawrence family through marriage.
However, she had dispelled all those thoughts now.
The only thing she could do was retreat as a close friend and lend a helping hand when he needed it.
"The antidote may not take effect so quickly," Mary explained softly.
With that, she turned to look at Chloe. "I didn't have time earlier. However, now I want to ask. What'sthe situation between you two?"
Mary could not believe that Byron would marry another woman so easily, judging from what he did toher best friend just now.
‘On top of that, Chloe did not seem to mind when Byron mouth-fed Rosalie's antidote just now.
‘Even if she responded, she was just slightly surprised.
‘However, if they were not married, why would Xander give them the antidote?’
Mary was doubtful.
Chloe met her gaze and explained gently. "Don't worry, I'm not your enemy. I'm just here to help."
Mary was even more puzzled by her explanation.
She turned to look at Byron but caught sight of the corner of a red document peeking out of Chloe'sbag.
"What is this...?" Her heart tightened, and her eyes fixated on Chloe's bag.
Chloe followed her gaze. When she saw the corner of the marriage certificate, she felt both annoyedwith herself and apologetic toward Mary.
She glanced at Byron for his consent.
When Byron nodded, she took out the marriage certificate and explained it to Mary. "This is..."
Mary interrupted her in disbelief. "Marriage certificate?"
She looked at the person in front of her and then at Byron. "Did you both...get married?"novelbin
Then, she muttered to herself bitterly. "No wonder. No wonder Xander handed over the antidote..."
