Chapter 1334:
In a low voice, he said something to the agent. The agent glanced at Margo’s disheveled state, sighed helplessly, and followed Rory out.
“I’ll wait for you downstairs,” Rory said, concern evident.
Annabel nodded and looked back at Margo’s strained expression.
Margo stared at the closed door, her lips curling into a bitter, sorrowful smile. “How gentle p>
Annabel sat down beside her. She checked the time on her phone, then asked, “Are you talking about Dunn p>
Margo ignored her, eyes fixed on the wine bottle on the coffee table.
“Have you seen him? How is he doing?” Annabel pressed, since all she knew about Dunn’s accident was what she’d skimmed in the news. Margo’s condition sent a storm of uneasy guesses through her mind.
“I… I did see him. He’s still in a coma,” Margo stammered, her voice barely above a whisper.

“What are you saying?” Disbelief seeped into Annabel’s tone as the implications of Margo’s confession dawned on her.
She patted Margo’s back gently, trying to steady her. “Tell me—what happened between you two p>
A vague sense of unease rose in Annabel’s chest, as if something worse was about to surface.
“I lied to him, Annabel p>
Margo’s face was carved from pain.
“I never had any feelings for him p>
“Then why did you accept him? You were together for quite a while, Margo. I need a clear explanation.” Annabel’s voice sharpened with incredulity. She had always believed Margo and Dunn cared for each other.
“Yes… why did I accept him when my heart wasn’t in it p>
Margo buried her face, her narrow shoulders shaking, fragile and undone.
“Annabel, Rory has always understood me. Always—since a long time ago p>
Surprise flickered through Annabel’s eyes, and at the same time, the missing pieces slid into place. She knew Margo well enough now to understand why she had reacted the way she did to Dunn’s confession.
