Lacy pleaded, trying to explain herself.
"But there's no record of it in my call log. Unless you deleted it, it shouldn't just disappear."
Lucy felt a surge of panic.
She opened her mouth to defend herself but found no words,
"Michael, I'm sorry. Please don't be angry. I know I was wrong. I just... I just thought Chloe was being rude by hanging up on you, so I wa trying to stand up for you!"
Michael's eyes darkened with displessure.
"Lucy, we've known each other for years, and I've always considered you a friend. But I can't keep forgiving you if you continue to make the same mistakes. If this happens again, I won't let our past friendship influence my decision."
Was he really willing to end their friendship for Chloe?
Lucy looked at him in disbelief. After everything she had done, she hadn't expected such harsh words from him.
"Michael, I'm sorry. Please, don't misunderstand me. I never intended to come behreen you and Chloe. It's all just a big misunderstanding. you believe me?"

"You should stay here and recover. I've already covered your medicall expenses. Once you're able to get up, I'll arrange for you to go back house."
His bone was icy, a stark contrast to how he usually spoke to her.
Lucy felt a chill run through herit
"Michael, what are you saying?"
"I've already bought my ticket home. I won't be staying in Mythica anymore."
Lucy's eyes widened in shock.
Did he mean to leave her here alone?
"Michael, I know you're still upset, but I have to go to the police station tomorrow to give a statement. I can't do it alone. I need you with use!"
She reached out, trying to grasp his sleeve, but he stepped back, avoiding her touch.

"I'll find a way to convince Grandpa," Chloe sighed.
He was old-fashioned and set in his ways.
Quinn stayed silent, knowing it wasn't his place to comment
But Candy was more outspoken.
"If you ask me, Admas is being stubborn. He knows there's no love between you and Michael, so why force you together? It's just torture. If he really cared about you, he'd agree to let you divorce Michael." Candy crossed her arms, her frustration clear even at 30,000 feet.
Chloe was quiet for a moment.
"Grandpa is old, and Michael's parents died young. He's been trying to hold the family together. Without his support, the rest of the Shawn family would tear it apart."

He had poured all his love for Michael's late father into Michael himself.
Sometimes, that meant overlooking others' feelings.
Maybe Chloe was destined to owe the Shawn family something.
