Chapter 790
Chapter 790:
Turning angrily, Monica saw Yelena and said, “What are you doing? Are you trying to make it worse p>
Yelena, caught off guard by Monica’s hostility, was momentarily speechless. Frustrated, she replied, “Just because you’re suspicious doesn’t mean everyone is out to get you. I was checking to see if you’re okay. Your injuries aren’t serious p>
Monica scowled at her but seemed slightly calmer. “You’re not a doctor,” she retorted. “I can’t rely on your opinion p>
Shifting her focus back to Austin, Monica spoke with a woeful expression. “Austin, my wheelchair just spun out of control. I didn’t mean for this to happen p>
“I know,” Austin replied reassuringly.
Since Monica was trying so hard to impress Austin, she would never intentionally cause harm to Maggie. Hearing his words, Monica finally began to feel more at ease. Looking earnestly at him, she added, “Austin, it hurts a lot. Can you stay with me until the doctor gets here p>
Monica secretly hoped Yelena would take the opportunity to explore the island, leaving her alone with Austin. But Maggie wasn’t about to let that happen. She quickly interjected, “Monica, I’ll stay with you. I need a check-up too, so we can keep each other company p>
Monica gave a curt nod, though her eyes briefly flashed with irritation.
Monica was reluctant about the arrangement but had no choice as Maggie wheeled her back onto the cruise ship. Helplessly, she watched as Austin and Yelena disembarked together.
As they walked away, Maggie, clearly pleased, turned to Monica and said, “Look at them, Monica. Don’t Austin and Yelena seem like they’re made for each other p>

From her wheelchair, Monica’s displeasure was obvious, though she chose not to voice it. She understood Maggie’s intentions—these comments were deliberately made for her to hear. Still, Monica dismissed Maggie’s apparent approval of Yelena. In her mind, until Austin and Yelena were officially married, there was still an opportunity for her to win him over. Even if they did marry, Monica reasoned, high divorce rates these days meant their union might not be permanent.
Feigning indifference, Monica pretended not to hear Maggie’s remarks. Unfazed, Maggie resolved to continue making such comments until Monica finally accepted the reality.
After Yelena and Austin reached the island by shuttle, Austin’s phone buzzed with a call from John. Glancing briefly at Yelena, Austin answered the call, his tone firm. “I’m busy right now p>
Surprised, John asked, “Got Yelena with you? Is that why you jumped straight to saying you’re busy p>
Austin replied curtly, “You guessed right p>
John teased, “You’re ditching me for romance, aren’t you p>
“Cut it out,” Austin replied. “If it’s not important, I’m hanging up p>
John quickly interjected, “Wait! I found something incredible. You should bring Yelena; she’ll love it p>
Austin paused, silently questioning how John could be so familiar with Yelena’s interests. Oblivious to Austin’s thoughts, John enthusiastically described the event.
