Scarlett's POV:

As I lay on the bed, recalling everything that had happened, I felt my heart ache.

I felt like a fool for hurting myself for a man.

Just then, Spencer and Vivian walked into the ward, looking anxious.

But their appearance made me really happy.

Charles had ordered Richard to guard the ward so that I would not try to escape. I felt like a bird that was trapped in a cage.

Sitting up from the bed, I greeted them with a smile.

"Scarlett, how are you doing? It's only been a while since I last saw you, but you look so pale!" Vivian was really anxious as she held my hand.

"Don't worry. I'm feeling much better now," I replied with a faint smile, hiding the truth.

Although I did everything I could to make her not worry, she seemed to have figured it out.

"Scarlett, you should take care of yourself." With a worried expression, she patted me on the shoulder to comfort me.

Feeling the bitterness in my heart, I could not help but shake my head and cry.

I was the only one who knew that as long as I continued to stay with Charles, I would never be happy.

Vivian reached out and wiped my tears away with a pitiful look.

"You have suffered a lot! Would you like me to call some friends to teach Charles a lesson? I swear that he would get beaten to a pulp!" Vivian clenched her fist in anger as she said those words.

Although Spencer remained silent, it was obvious that he was acquiescing in her suggestion.

When I saw how they were all riled up to avenge me, I could not help but chuckle.

"Charles has gone too far! How could he treat you so badly? Scarlett, don't feel sad because of him. He doesn't deserve your love." Seeing how worried I was, Vivian thought that I was still not able to let go of Charles, and that was the reason she was trying to comfort me.
