Chapter 80: Chapter 79

I still felt a little groggy, but my mind was clear. Seeing Sofia beating herself up, I comforted her, "This ain’t on you. The one to blame is Ian. I don’t regret telling you about his infidelity. He doesn’t deserve you." Sofia cried more bitterly. Luna and Clara walked in with a fruit basket. Seeing me, they hurried over, "Eliana, are you feeling okay? Still got a headache?" "Are you hungry? I can grab you something to eat." "Are you cold? I can crank up the AC. Can’t have you catching a cold." I shook my head slightly, "Not hungry, not cold, just a bit dizzy." Luna looked at me with concern, "Poor Eliana. You’ve been having a rough couple of months. This is the second time you’ve hit your head. Hope you don’t end up getting dumber." I chuckled, "Even if I do, you guys can take turns looking after me." I got the rundown of what had happened from them. Ian, out of spite, had gotten Steve to get close to me.

After hearing my cries for help, he tracked me down with his phone and came to my rescue. Wiping away her tears, Sofia said angrily, "I can’t believe how vile and selfish Ian is, blaming his mistakes on others. His parents came to me for help. How brazen!" Luna looked at me, disgust in her eyes, "People like him belong in jail. Sofia, you dodged a bullet seeing his true colors before it was too late." Sofia nodded, "Yeah." While we were chatting, Jones walked in. He gave Steve a good scolding, making up for his previous actions against me in the game. I greeted him politely, "Hey, Dr. Jones."

"Feeling dizzy?" Instead of answering, Jones asked, "Have you thrown up since you woke up? Do you remember what happened before you passed out?"
