Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 316

If one were to guess what kind of situation Eve would hate the most, the current circumstances would

most probably be it—after being chased out of the Chase Family, not only did Myra not plunge down

the social ladder. Instead, she joined the Hart Family, which had a much better social standing than the

Chase Family. Besides, both Sebastian and Lisa seemed especially fond of Myra too.

Eve wasn’t really fond of Myra, so she did not feel any loss with Myra’s departure from the Chase

Family. She had no intentions of having Myra rejoin the Chase Family either, but it just felt like a gaping

hole. Why is somebody whom I have cast aside like an old shoe regarded like a treasure by the Hart

Family? It almost feels like Myra has deliberately joined the Hart Family to taunt me. It also feels like a

slap in my face.

Eve’s expression stiffened the moment she saw the three of them. She was just about to turn to leave,

but she figured it would look especially petty. She did not want others to assume that she was afraid of

the Hart Family and Myra. Hence, Eve maintained a stiff expression while walking past them.

However, just as she did so, she felt a sudden intense grief and resentment in her heart.

Myra seemed calm and unfazed when she walked past Eve; it was almost as though she did not

recognize Eve. I used to be her mother-in-law, but Myra isn’t even bothered about the Chase Family or

my dignity. She did not even greet me; instead, she is focused on chatting intimately with the two

seniors from the Hart Family. This feels like a hard slap on my face. I can almost feel the burning

sensation across my cheek!

“Oh, I was just wondering who it was! You didn’t even bother to greet me after leaving your previous in-

laws. Those who do not know you might even assume that you are a heartless person! They would

most probably think that you have forgotten about us commoners after you have succeeded in climbing

the social ladder!” Before Eve realized what she was doing, she had already blurted out the sarcastic

and jealous remark. She stood rooted to the spot not too far behind from Myra and the two seniors from

the Hart Family.

Myra, Sebastian and Lisa heard Eve’s comment. Myra’s heart sank when she heard that, but before

she could say a word, Lisa squeezed her hand while she petted it reassuringly. It felt like Lisa was

assuring her that everything would be fine. On the other side, he turned to speak to Myra calmly. “Myra,

from now on, you should be in less contact with petty, unsavory people and families. You might end up

receiving unpleasant comments once they have used you for their own benefit.”

Myra was astounded, but she immediately smiled. “Yes.”

Eve’s body stiffened when she heard that. She knew exactly who Sebastian was referring to when he

mentioned about ‘petty, unsavory people and families’, but she had something else in her mind too.

True enough, Myra must have framed the Chase Family in front of the elderlies of the Hart Family!

Apart from resenting Myra even more, Eve was determined to stop Sean from pursuing her again.

After the three of them bumped into Eve, they lost their mood for the leisurely stroll and decided to

head home.

Henry was downstairs after he completed his assignment when it so happened that Myra had just

returned home. Hence, he went into the kitchen to bring out a bowl of fruit salad since he wanted to

enjoy it with her.

It was a short while later that Serena summoned him to bed.

Soon, Myra received a phone call from Tony, explaining that he had finished working overtime. Hence,

he should be arriving home by 10:00 PM with the request for her to wait for his return.

However, in the middle of the phone call, she heard an interruption on Tony’s end—it was Gemma’s

voice.

Myra had fully trusted Tony, so she did not overthink when he hung up on her call. She was more

focused on setting aside a portion of the meal to reheat it for him when he returned home.

She entered the kitchen to fuss around. However, after reheating one of the dishes, she figured that

she had done it too early. It will be stone cold by the time he returns if I were to reheat everything now.

In the end, she left the dishes in the wok. However, when she was walking out of the kitchen, she felt a

stabbing pain in her heart and suddenly felt dizzy before she hurriedly leaned against the doorframe.

It so happened that the housekeeper, who was cleaning the living room, had witnessed that. She was

shocked and rushed toward Myra to help support her. “Miss Stark, are you alright?”

Myra wasn’t sure what was happening, but she felt an inexplicable pressure against her chest. Then,

she nodded her head at the housekeeper. “I am fine. My chest just feels tight out of the blue. I should

feel better after resting a while upstairs.”

The housekeeper couldn’t take any chance since Myra wanted to head upstairs. Hence, she carefully

helped Myra up the steps.

However, before they could set foot on the steps, the phone in the living room started to ring at a

piercing tone. Before the two could even answer the phone, it stopped ringing after a couple of times.

Suddenly, the telephone started to ring for dear life in one of the rooms at the Hart Residence.

After a while, the door to Sebastian’s study opened with a loud bang and he walked out of there. It was

at that moment when he ran into Myra and the housekeeper.

He wore a grim expression while scowling in his heart. When he saw Myra’s confused expression, he

frowned deeply. “Tony has been involved in a car crash. He is in the hospital now,” he growled in a

deep voice.

…

There was a series of urgent footsteps along the corridor approaching from afar, whereas the other end

of the operating theater was eerily quiet.

Myra’s heart had been racing along the way. Sebastian’s announcement of Tony being involved in a car

crash continued to replay itself in her mind, making her fearful and worried. How did he get into a car

crash? He was just fine on the phone call with me a while ago.

She tightly clenched her fists and her face was as pale as a white sheet.

Lisa, who was beside her, continued to reassure her. “Tony had always been a naughty one ever since

he was a child. He had experienced similar incidents before and each time, he would emerge

unscathed. Myra, you do not have to worry because he will be fine this time too.”

It was rare for Lisa to speak so warmly and gently, but Myra just couldn’t pay attention to her words

now. It seems that Tony’s car crashed into a big truck and he lost consciousness on the spot…

Myra felt a sudden stabbing pain from her palms. When she extended her hands in a daze to have a

check, she realized with a start that her fingernails had somehow dug deep into her palms and

unknowingly left two gashes on it.

Lisa sighed quietly when she saw how lost and desperate Myra seemed. However, her gaze seemed to

reflect a sense of relief and calmness.

Soon, the light of the operation theater was switched off before the hospital nurse pushed somebody

out. The Hart Family and Myra rushed forward to check on Tony, but he was still unconscious. He was

currently pale, yet still exceptionally handsome despite his sickly appearance. His long eyebrows were Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

knitted tightly together whereas his lips were pressed together into a stubborn line. His hair was slightly

messy, but his cold, distant aura had not diminished at all.

Everybody seemed relieved when they noticed that he appeared to be asleep without much damage

done. Sebastian asked the doctor at the side hastily, “Excuse me, doctor. How is my grandson?”

The doctor obviously knew Sebastian’s status, so he replied with a respectful tone while reassuring the

latter, “Young Master Tony is fine now. The injury on his left hand is more severe, but it has been

stitched. The bones in his right hand are broken too. On the other hand, he has suffered from a slight

concussion, but he should make a full recovery after resting for some time.”

“Thank God. Thank God…” Lisa finally let out a sigh of relief because she had been worried sick for the

longest time since everyone had assumed the worst earlier.

However, Myra’s eyes were rimmed red at that point. She didn’t dare to hold Tony’s hand after listening

to the doctor’s explanation. She was afraid that she could hurt his injured hand that the doctor just

operated on. Hence, she stood by his side while staring unwaveringly at Tony lying on the gurney.

Judging from Tony’s driving skills and meticulousness, how could he possibly be involved in such a car

crash? Besides, it is not too far away from Hart Group. He must have just left the underground car

park. How did he get into such a car crash and sustain such serious injuries?

Everyone who was present all went to Tony’s hospital room. Soon, Leo dropped by to reiterate the

entire incident to inform them.
