Chapter 336:
But Yelena stayed cool under pressure. Her balance was impeccable, and she quickly regained her footing, avoiding a deadly fall.
With swift reflexes, she grasped a nearby rock, steadying herself just in time to prevent disaster.
That was a close call.
Had it been anyone else, they’d likely be lying shattered on the rocks below.
But not Yelena—she reacted in a heartbeat.
Bella, who had been watching from a distance, was momentarily frozen. Damn it! How did Yelena manage to stay upright?
She had just spotted the perfect moment to shove Yelena over the edge of the cliff. But Bella hadn’t anticipated Yelena’s lightning-fast reaction, as she regained her balance in the blink of an eye.
So, Yelena was unharmed.
Bella pressed her lips together, a flicker of reluctance flashing in her eyes.
Yelena couldn’t help but recall how Bella had bumped into her earlier. Her eyes narrowed as she shot a pointed look at Bella.
Her intense gaze made Bella squirm with guilt.
Embarrassed, Bella lowered her head and spoke up, her voice a little too sweet. “Yelena, are you okay? What just happened p>
Yelena shrugged off Bella’s arm, the last hint of support gone. With a cold edge to her voice, she replied, “I’m fine. Unless you were hoping I wasn’t p>
“Of course not! I’m just relieved you’re okay. I was so scared when you almost lost your balance. But I guess it’s all because of Mom’s prayers, right?” Bella stammered, feigning sincerity.

Yelena couldn’t help but smile, though it was more of a smirk, filled with irony. “Yeah, maybe.” With that, she turned and walked off.
Bella, watching Yelena leave, panicked. Her ankle was still throbbing, and now Yelena was walking away without a care. What was she supposed to do?
She called after Yelena, urgency creeping into her voice, “Wait up! My foot still hurts p>
Yelena stopped and glanced back, her eyes cold. “Ever hear the story of the farmer and the snake? Well, I’m not the farmer, so don’t expect me to help a venomous snake p>
Bella’s face flushed crimson, embarrassment washing over her as she realized Yelena wasn’t just talking about the story.
Damn it!
With no choice but to limp down the mountain alone, Bella’s frustration simmered beneath the pain.
By the time she got home, the heels of her feet were raw and bleeding from the strain.
She had no one to blame but herself. But still, Bella couldn’t bring herself to complain.
The last thing she wanted was for Yelena to spill the truth about her failed attempt to push her off the cliff. So, Bella bit her tongue, silently enduring the pain as she seethed.
After her surgery, Katelyn made an impressive recovery and was eager to leave the hospital.
However, rather than heading back to the Herrera family home, she opted to rest at the Harris family residence instead.
Moss, caught up in his busy life and claiming he didn’t have time to look after her, fully supported her decision. Katelyn understood his intentions and, while she had once been upset with his neglect, there was no longer any anger in her heart.
Donovan had reminded her multiple times during her stay in the hospital not to hold onto resentment. Her illness, he explained, was fueled by constant frustration.
This whole ordeal felt like a fresh start for Katelyn—a rebirth—and she was determined to embrace her new life with open arms.
With an open spirit, she let go of the past and headed to the Harris family home.
