Whispers of betrayal (Selena and Ryan) novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55

“Anastasia, Anastasia.

“Wake

1. it’s time to eat something, or your stomach won’t hold up.”

When Anastasia woke up, it was already the next day’s afternoon.

Jason was sitting by the bedside, looking serious.

“Awake?” Jason got up and poured Anastasia a cup of warm water. “Rinse your mouth, and don’t move around.”

Anastasia moved slightly and felt a sharp pain in her chest.

“I called the police.” Jason’s face did not look good, and there was a wound on the corner of his mouth.

Clearly, he had gotten into a fight with someone.

“So many years have passed, and you’re still so impulsive. Anastasia looked at the injury on Jason’s face and spoke hoarsely. “Fighting comes with consequences. Whether you win and end up at the police station or lose and end up in the hospital, it’s never pleasant.”

“So, you lost the fight?” Jason’s voice was low as he held the water cup to Anastasia’s lips for her to drink and rinse her

mouth.

It was then that Anastasia noticed that her right forearm and shoulder were tightly bandaged.

“Your collarbone is broken, and your right arm has a fracture,” Jason said in a deep voice.

“I… I fell by myself,” Anastasia avoided his gaze.

She did fall on her own.

“Anastasia, protecting an abuser will only turn the pain you suffer into a joke.” Jason’s face looked grim, and his tone was not friendly.

Anastasia was momentarily stunned. “An abuser? Did he misunderstand Alastor as an abuser?”

“The police checked Alastor’s time of leaving the house and the time you got injured. You can demand an injury assessment and file for divorce,” Jason could not understand why Anastasia insisted on something.

“I told you. I fell by myself. Did you really call the police?” Anastasia looked at Jason in shock, trying to sit up with her left arm, but the pain in her collarbone was intense.

“You’re still trying to protect him” Jason was angry. “He has been taken away by the police.”

“Jason, stop assuming things. I’m telling you, I fell by myself!” Anastasia gritted her teeth, enduring the pain as she sat up and reached for her phone. “I’ll go and clear things up with the police.”

“Anastasia, you’re so disappointing Jason watched Anastasia, who was getting up in a hurry, his voice hoarse.

Anastasia was in a terrible state, and the doctor told Jason that if he had not brought her to the hospital in time, she could have had heart failure and died.
