Chapter 3051

"How do you feel? Does it hurt anywhere?" Dustin asked worriedly while running his fingers through her hair. Abelyn shook her head without saying a word.

Then, she slowly raised her head and asked out of the blue, "Dustin, do you think I'm a bad person too?"

Dustin gazed at the woman he loved and hesitated for a moment.

Truth be told, she wasn't a bad person.

She merely misunderstood Joan, and if that incident never happened, perhaps all of this wouldn't have existed either.

He believed that this woman was pure and kind in nature, but was merely blinded by her feelings sometimes.

"That's enough. Don't overthink it anymore and just replace a time to explain everything to Joan. Don't worry. I'll stand by you no matter what."

Dustin patted her shoulder reassuringly.

If this was truly Abelyn's mistake, he wouldn't speak in her favor or make excuses for her. But after all, she only did all those things because she misunderstood Joan.

Hence, he believed that she deserved forgiveness.

"Abelyn."

Suddenly, Joan's voice sounded not far away.

Abelyn instantly started quaking in her boots.

What is she doing here?Is she here to laugh at me?Or to reprimand me? Nervous, she clutched Dustin's arm tightly.

Dustin held her hand gently, hoping to offer her some sense of security.

"Are you okay?" Joan inquired with concern as she made her way in.

"Hey, Joan.Don't worry. She's fine"

Dustin answered on Abelyn's behalf.

Upon seeing that Abelyn was completely unharmed, Joan finally heaved a sigh of relief. She was very compelled to ask the woman she regarded as a sister why she had set her up. However, she withheld her question on second thought.

Forget it. I'll sit down and have a proper chat with her some other time.

Larry, Caspian, and the others returned soon after.

Suddenly, the living room was crowded and buzzing with activity.

Abelyn was immensely moved when she saw all these familiar faces.

She thought that once they found out she had set Joan up, they wouldn't want anything to do with her again, but it seemed like they genuinely cared about her.

Abelyn sniffled, remorse filling her.

Blowing out a soft breath, a trace of regret flashed across her eyes.

I must've lost my mind.

How could I have done something so horrible? Nancy was staring straight at her from the side, feeling puzzled.

She was dying to confront Abelyn about her motive for doing something so cruel to Joan, but upon seeing the happy looks on everyone's faces, she couldn't bring herself to ruin the mood.

No.

I have to replace out the truth.

Otherwise, not just Joan, but even I won't be able to fall asleep at night.

"Abelyn, come here!"

She waved at the woman not far away.

Upon hearing her name being called, she looked over and informed Dustin before making her way over.

"Abelyn, don't blame me for being petty or selfish. I'm not taking Joan's side or anything.I just want to know the truth."

Never one to mince her words, Nancy cut straight to the chase.

"Why did you do something so cruel to Joan back then?"

Abelyn instantly tensed up upon hearing her question.

She never expected that Nancy would still be thinking about this matter.

It seems like she really cares about Joan.

She turned to look at Joan who was standing some distance away, her eyes gleaming with relief.

"Actually, I didn't really mean to set her up. Back then, I was influenced by someone else; Abelyn explained unhurriedly.Gauging her solemn and earnest expression, Nancy decided to take her word for it. Besides, what she said was indeed the absolute truth.
