Chapter 229 I Can Bear It

It wasn't long before everyone knew about the altercation Devin and Rory had over Becky. Therewas no way to cover up a fight at such a large event.

The Ramos family hosted the event, so they sent someone to check on Devin at the hospital afterhe'd gone unconscious.

Becky felt terrible about her parents making the trip to the hospital. She was worried about theiradvanced age, so she decided to go instead.

Jessie went with her to visit Devin. She glimpsed over at Becky several times during the ride, butshe decided to say nothing.

It was confusing to Jessie how all of it transpired. Devin had said that he wanted to talk to Becky.How Rory was involved and how it led to a fight was a mystery to her.

The details were not that important. The real surprise to Jessie was that Rory managed to punchDevin out.

For decades, Stevie's birthday party had gone off without a hitch. It was shocking that somethinglike this should happen at such an event. Jessie knew Becky must be in real turmoil.

Despite her initial decision to stay quiet, Jessie decided to ask a question when they pulled upoutside of the hospital. "Becky, why were they fighting?"

Becky looked over at her friend. "I don't know."

"How could you not know? You were there!"

Jessie was sure that Becky didn't want to tell her what happened. This thought annoyed her.

"Devin was talking to me when suddenly Rory dragged him away and punched him," Becky said.

"I could never have imagined that Rory would do something like that for you out of jealousy!" Jessiesaid to Becky.

Becky gave Jessie a direct look. "Do you want to help me or are you just here to enjoy the drama?"

Jessie tried to comfort her friend. "I'm here to help, of course!"

If she was honest, however, she enjoyed the drama as well!

Jessie smiled and remained quiet. She knew she could not mention her enjoyment to Becky.

She knew how she felt wasn't correct, but everyone liked juicy gossip.

Despite Jessie's words, Becky knew her friend was enjoying all the chaos. As they talked, theymade their way to Devin's ward.

Devin was already awake when they arrived. The doctor let them know he was going to be fine. Hewas riddled with visible but minor bruises.

The injuries on the corner of Devin's mouth were cleaned up already. There was still a bruise on hischeek where Rory had punched him.

As soon as Devin saw Becky walking into his ward, he put down his phone.

"I'm sorry."

Jessie was the first to respond. She smiled sarcastically. "Wow. You are something, Devin. Youwere at Becky's father's birthday party! I can't believe you and Rory would start fighting there. To

make matters worse, you lost! Don't take it the wrong way but I'm very ashamed of you."

Becky enjoyed hearing Jessie's catty comments and didn't stop her. Smiling faintly, she felt asthough she were watching the latest drama.

Devin ignored Jessie's words. His eyes stayed steady on Becky as he asked,

"You haven't yet given me an answer to my question."

Jessie turned to Becky and asked at once, "What is Devin talking about?"

It was then that Becky remembered what Devin asked her at the party over thirty minutes ago. Shecould still fee! how close Devin had been. She could still feel the hotness of his breath.

"Nothing," Becky said to Jessie and then turned to Devin. "I believe you."

Her mother had told her that Carlee was Devin's cousin's wife.

Becky continued, "Since you seem like you're okay, I'll leave now."

"Wait!"

Devin stopped Becky when she tried to turn around to leave.

Becky looked back at him, frowning. "Is there something else?"

Her mood was still sour after all the drama that had occurred at the party.

"Could you go buy me something to eat in the cafeteria downstairs? I'm hungry." There was apause. "If it's too much trouble, I guess I can deal with the hunger."

Jessie was listening to Devin's words. She couldn't believe how shameless he was and felt she hadto respond.

"Then I guess you'll just have to deal with it!"

Not wanting to hear any more, Jessie pulled Becky out of Devin's ward immediately.
