Chapter 27 : Dangerous Accusations - 2 After her wounds were treated and she received a painkiller injection , her cries of agony finally subsided . I approached her ward quietly , hesitating at the door when I heard her speaking to Connor . " Con , my arm is in a cast , I can't feed myself . Can you feed me , please ? " Her voice was coquettish , almost childlike . I stopped , uncertain whether I should enter .

Part of me wanted to turn around and leave , to avoid another confrontation with Vanessa . " I'll call a nurse for you , " Connor replied , his tone calm but gentle . " No , I want you to feed me , " Vanessa whined insistently . " Why won't you ? " I remained frozen outside the door , feeling like an intruder on their private conversation . " Be good , you're not a child anymore ," Connor said patiently but firmly . " And besides , I already have a fiancée . I'm about to get engaged to Livvy .

We should maintain some boundaries . " My heart stirred gently at his words . I hadn't expected Connor to draw such a clear line out of respect for me , especially when Vanessa was injured and vulnerable . " Even siblings have to avoid suspicion ? " Vanessa's tone abruptly sharpened , rising several octaves with undisguised resentment . " Con , so Olivia Winters is such a petty woman ? She hurt me and yet you care more about her feelings than mine ? " I turned away silently , ready to leave .

I didn't have the shamelessness to force myself into a situation where I was clearly unwanted . If Vanessa despised me so much , there was no point in staying . Just then , a nurse carrying an IV bag approached , politely asking me to step aside so she could enter the room . The movement caught Connor's attention , and both he and Vanessa turned to see me standing in the doorway . With a soft sigh , I followed the nurse inside . " What are you doing here ?

" Vanessa spat , her eyes flashing with undisguised O < 1/3 < Chapter 27 Dangerous Ac … loathing . Almost simultaneously , Connor's gentle voice sounded , " Livvy , you're here ." + Points The nurse busied herself with Vanessa's IV while I stood awkwardly near the foot of the bed . Vanessa glared at me with venom , as if stabbing me with invisible daggers . I met her gaze unflinchingly , my voice frosty and sharp when I finally spoke .

" Are you telling people I made that horse bolt and hurt you ? " ( Vanessa's POV ) I hadn't expected this . I thought Olivia would panic after the accident , maybe even plead for forgiveness . Her composed confrontation caught me slightly off guard - but only for a moment . Slipping back into my performance , I turned away from her and looked at Connor with tear - filled eyes . I made my voice tremble pitifully . " Con , I know I left a bad impression the first time we met .

So today at the stables , I wanted to get closer to Olivia , since she's my future sister - in - law . That's why I asked her to teach me to ride . " I let fresh tears spill down my cheeks , enjoying the way they enhanced my vulnerable appearance . " I didn't expect she hated me so much . When I wasn't looking , she suddenly kicked the horse hard , making it run wild . I was terrified . " I choked back a sob , making sure my voice broke at just the right moment .

" Olivia , I can understand if you dislike me , but why would you try to hurt me like that ? " Having delivered my accusation , I furtively glanced at Connor's expression , hoping to see anger directed at Olivia . But Connor only frowned slightly , his face frustratingly unreadable . " Livvy , what exactly happened this afternoon at the stables ? " he asked , his tone still gentle . Hidden under the blanket , my uninjured hand clenched into a tight fist .
