Chapter 138 I Used to Trust You
Imogen stood still, thinking of the news she saw just now, and asked, “Didn’t you go to the hospital? Why didn’t you take care of it over there?”
“Who said I went to the hospital?”
“The news said that the two injured victims had been sent to the hospital for treatment.”
“I didn’t go to the hospital.”
Seeing Imogen not moving, Troy repeated, “Imogen, come and help me.”
Imogen looked at the stab wounds on his shoulders and arms. Aside from those, there were several bruises on his body.
Her eyes flickered slightly. Even though she didn’t want to admit it, there was indeed still a bit of concern in her heart..
“I think you’d better go to the hospital to take care of it.” she coldly said after being silent for a while.
“No. There are too many people in the hospital. Who knows if I will run into a reporter?”
He didn’t like exposing his private life under the flashlights.
And he also didn’t want Imogen to know that Sarah was injured because of him.
“Should I ask Mr. Jordan to come in, then?”
“He’s not here. He’s off to deal with another work.”
“Then your other secretary…”
“It would be fine if you didn’t want to. I’ll do it myself.”
Troy lowered his eyes, laughing at himself. Then he opened the medicine box in front of him and. searched for ointment and gauze.
He smeared the ointment on the wound haphazardly. Due to his clumsy movement, the wrapped crookedly.

He had looped the gauze a few rounds with great difficulty when he realized that he had forgotten.

to
He pulled it a few times, but instead of coming apart, it got tighter the more he pulled, and the area around the wound became red.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of the door opening and closing.
He looked up, and Imogen was no longer standing before him.
Troy stiffened, leaned weakly on the back of the sofa, and stopped putting up the act.
She really didn’t care about him at all now.
Was injuring himself useless to gain her sympathy now?
Troy closed his eyes bitterly, pinched the edge of the gauze, and yanked. The excess gauze was easily torn off, then he threw it on the table.
“You’ve managed to tear it off?” Imogen reappeared at the office door with scissors in her hand.
Troy raised his eyes and looked at her in surprise. He pursed his lips and lowered his gaze again. “Yeah. You can go back to work now. I can do it myself.”
Imogen frowned. “I’m here to give you the scissors.”
She stepped forward and put the scissors beside the medicine box. “Then I’ll go back to work first. Don’t forget to ask the secretary to bring some clothes.”
After all, she couldn’t resist reminding him after seeing that his pants were still wet.
Seeing Imogen turn around to leave, Troy felt a suffocating feeling in his chest, making him almost couldn’t breathe. “Wait!”
Imogen stopped, then turned around to look at him. “Is there anything else?”
Troy stood up slowly and gazed intensely at Imogen. “Imogen, will you feel sad for me being hurt? Even a little is fine…”
Imogen also looked at him. Their eyes met, and she smiled. “Troy, it’s pointless to argue about this
now.”
He was with Sarah not long ago, and Sarah was lying in the hospital right now because she had taken the knife for him. But why did he come here to ask her whether she would be sad like nothing happened?
What was he thinking right now?
“Why?” Troy took a step closer.
“If you had time to dwell on this, you might as well treat the wound quickly, then change your clothes and go to the hospital to see Sarah.”
Troy’s expression changed as realization dawned on him. If Imogen could replace out that the injured person was him from the news, she would obviously know that the other one injured was Sarah. He immediately explained, “I had lunch with Mr. Jones today. He left first, and then I met those people. I don’t know why Sarah was there either, and she was even stabbed…”
“Do you mean that it was all a coincidence?”
“Yes.” Troy nodded seriously without any hesitation while looking into Imogen’s eyes. “You could ask Mr. Jones if you didn’t believe me. I really didn’t know…”
“You don’t have to explain this to me.”
In fact, Imogen didn’t mind if Troy wanted to see Sarah. He could just go, and there was no need for him to hide anything from her or bother himself to make it look like a coincidence. She didn’t
care at all.
Besides, wasn’t it more touching that Sarah took the knife to save him while putting her life at risk?
Now, as long as Troy agreed to divorce, she could grant their wish immediately.
Troy’s brows furrowed deeply, and his eyes seemed to be filled with grief. “You don’t believe me?” Imogen lowered her eyes and was silent for a while before saying, “I used to trust you a lot, but now, it doesn’t matter anymore.”
His real actions had taught her a lesson, making her understand that the person sleeping next to her couldn’t be trusted wholeheartedly either.
A sleeping companion was someone who could lie the most easily to her and was also the one who could exploit her trust the easiest to play around with her.
It was Troy himself who broke her trust in him.
Troy stiffened, and there was a stinging sensation in his voice when he spoke, “Imogen, I…”
Imogen interrupted him, “Besides, Sarah was injured because of you, so you can’t just leave her
like that in the hospital. Go and see her. I’ll go back to work.”
Then she turned and left.
Troy stretched out his hand as if to grab something.
But in the end, her sleeve still slipped out of his hands, leaving nothing behind.
Troy stood unmovingly in despair, realizing that he had tangled himself on the web of his own spinning.
The smell of disinfectant permeating her sense of smell awoke Sarah from her comatose state. There was only Ylah by her side guarding her.
“Where’s Troy?” Sarah asked weakly.
Ylah shook her head and pointed outside the door. “He didn’t come to the hospital, only sending his assistant over here.”
A trace of disappointment crossed Sarah’s face. “Did you not ask Mr. Jordan why he didn’t come?” Troy didn’t guard her in the hospital?
She had taken the knife for him!
Did Imogen stop him from coming?
“I asked, and Mr. Jordan said that Mr. Marshall is very grateful for your kindness and will help you pay for all the medical and nutritional needs expenses until you fully recover. He will also urge the police to catch the culprits as soon as possible and seek justice for you. Also, he would prepare a check for two million dollars to thank you if you needed it.”
Sarah couldn’t believe it.
She had taken the knife for him, but did he want to use that money to dismiss her?
How did he become so cruel now?!
It was all because of Imogen!!
Ylah added, “I heard Mr. Jordan asking the doctor earlier whether you could board a plane in your current condition.”
Sarah’s eyes widened. Her eyes trembled, and she looked at Ylah without blinking as if suspecting that Ylah was lying to her.
She had taken the knife for Troy and was currently lying half–dead in the hospital.
It didn’t matter if Troy didn’t visit her at the hospital, but she didn’t expect that he also wanted to send her abroad.
Ylah nodded seriously, indicating that everything she said was true.
Sarah lay powerlessly on the hospital bed.
“What should I do now?” She closed her eyes and asked weakly.
She thought she knew Troy well, which was why she seized the opportunity to set up this incident, thinking that Troy would feel guilty and make up for her like last time, yet this development turned out to be completely beyond her expectation.
Ylah sighed. “The doctor said that your current condition is unsuitable to board a plane. You should recover from your injuries first, and I will think about what to do next.”
“We have only a few days!” Sarah’s tone was unavoidably anxious.
Chapter 138 I Used to Trust You
As soon as her condition improved, Troy would send her abroad.
Hearing her impatient tone, Ylah was also slightly agitated. “What’s the use of you urging me? Besides, if Troy investigated this matter deeply…”
Ylah only uttered her sentence halfway when she caught a glimpse of Lane outside returning after answering a call, so she hurriedly shut her mouth.
Lane knocked on the door twice before asking, “Is Ms. Page awake?”
“Yes.”
“May I come inside?”
Ylah glanced at Sarah.
Sarah only closed her eyes grumpily.
Ylah had no choice but to say, “Her body is weak now, and she hasn’t recovered her energy yet. I think we’d better let her have a good rest.”
“Then I won’t go in. Ms. Page, I’m here to thank you on behalf of Mr. Marshall, so have a good
rest.”
Lane left afterward.
Ylah stayed in the ward for a while before leaving.
When Ylah arrived at the lobby of the inpatient department, she found that Lane hadn’t left yet. He was standing in front of a car as if waiting for someone.
Simultaneously, Lane also saw her, so he waved and walked toward her. “Ms. Willy, I have something to discuss with you. Do you have time?”
