Chapter 89 The Injury Is Caused by Him
Joshua turned his head to look.
Anaya’s head hit the wall, and there were traces of blood oozing from her forehead, which was a
stark contrast to her fair skin.
Anaya frowned. But she did not say a word, complain, or get angry.
Joshua’s eyes were stung by the bright red blood.
He was the one who pushed her away.
But he didn’t do it on purpose.
Joshua clenched his fists. Strong self-blame and all kinds of indescribable emotions filled his entire chest. He felt uncomfortable.
He wanted to go over and apologize, but Lexie put her arms around his waist tightly and buried her head in his arms. She seemed to be scared. “Joshua, thank you. I was really scared by that person who suddenly grabbed me just now.”
Joshua was agitated, and he casually comforted Lexie with a few words and was about to go to Anaya’s side.
Without waiting for him to go over, the police rushed over and took all the people involved in the
matter.
When they arrived at the police station, the police took Anaya to a room alone and bandaged the wound on her head, while Joshua and Lexie were arranged to make a statement next door.
Joshua and Lexie didn’t know much about the whole thing. They just helped Anaya when she was
in danger, and the statement was quickly finished.
When they reached the door next door, the female police officer had just finished wrapping the wound on Anaya‘s forehead.
The female police officer put away the gauze and medical alcohol and said, “This group of hooligans actually hit a girl and left wounds in such an obvious place. What if you are disfigured?”
Anaya rubbed her leg and casually said, “They didn’t do this to me.”
Outside the door, Joshua’s action of pushing the door stopped, and he felt guilty
Although Joshua didn’t do it on purpose, he was the one who caused Anaya injured on the
forehead.
“If it weren’t them, then who did it?” the female police officer asked.
Aniaya did not answer. “May I ask if you are going to start taking the statement now?”
“I’ll take you there,” the female police officer said.
The female police officer pushed open the door and saw Joshua and Lexie at the door. “It just so happens that you guys are here too. Let’s go to Darren together. We need to check the accordance of your statement.”
Joshua looked past the female police officer and looked at Anaya. He wanted to say something
but hesitated. In the end, he didn’t say anything and nodded silently.
Darren and those hooligans were injured more seriously than Anaya and Joshua. When the police asked, they said that Joshua took the initiative to find trouble with them.
Joshua called someone, and Darren was taken away for a while, and when he came back, his mental state did not seem very good, and he confessed everything.
Joshua’s people were very efficient, and soon, Anaya received the news that she could leave.
The wound on Anaya’s leg still hurt a little, and she limped out.
Joshua reached out to help her, but she dodged.
Joshua’s hand froze in mid-air, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Joshua thought, although I made you injure your forehead, if I had not helped you just now, you would have been injured even more seriously.
What right do you have to get angry at me?
Thinking of this, Joshua retracted his hand, and his tone became a little stiff. “I saved you, but why
are you angry with me?”
“Mr. Maltz, why do you say that I am angry with you?” Anaya’s fair and clean face was weak and
calm
“If you are not angry, why are you avoiding my hand?”
1 also treated you like this when I was not angry.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Joshua did not find any words to refute her.
This was because Anaya had indeed kept her distance from him ever since they divorced.
Joshua changed the subject. What happened tonight? Why did Darren want to attack you?”
“This
This matter was related to Aracely’s reputation, so Anaya didn’t tell him about it and iust
is a private affair.”
Joshua’s eyes flashed with gloom, and his tone became even worse. “What is it that you can’t tell
me? You implicated me and Lexie!”
After Joshua finished speaking, he realized that his attitude was not good and fell silent.
Anaya looked up at him and said, “I implicated you and Lexie this time. I will compensate you for spiritual damage.”
If it were at an ordinary time, Anaya would have been angry with Joshua if he had spoken to her in
this tone.
But Joshua helped her tonight, so she had no right to be angry with him.
It was also because of this that she forgave that he pushed her.
When Joshua pushed her away and ran to Lexie, Anaya felt uncomfortable.
However, she quickly let go of it.
She knew that the feeling of unhappiness was not jealousy, but because being pushed away and abandoned by someone was uncomfortable.
In fact, she also understood Joshua. After all, from the past to now, Lexie had always been the
most important person in his heart.
He had done his best to help her tonight.
Joshua realized that Anaya had misunderstood what he meant. He frowned and wanted to explain,
“That’s not what I meant…”
Anaya interrupted him, “Thank you for helping me tonight. I’ll ask Tim to send you compensation and gifts another day. Goodbye.”
With that, she continued to limp out.
Joshua looked at her back and felt depressed.
He took a step forward, wanting to catch up with her.
He thought, I should send her home.
“Joshua! I’m a little scared. Can you send me home?” Lexie came out of the room and held his hand.
Joshua withdrew his leg and said after a long time, “Alright.”
He comforted Lexie and then turned to look at Anaya, but he could no longer see her.
When Joshua and Anaya were married, no matter how annoying he was, Anaya always greeted him
with a smile.
After the divorce, he could only see her leaving figure.
For a moment, Joshua had the urge to put down Lexie and chase Anaya back.
But soon, he dismissed the idea and fell into self-blame.
Joshua thought, Lexie is the person who gave me a second chance at life. How can I put Anaya in
a more important position than Lexie?
Even if it is only for an instant thought, I shouldn‘t have it.
It must be because I accidentally pushed Anaya and caused her to be injured. I felt guilty, so I have this thought
Joshua tried his best to convince himself to stop thinking nonsense. He turned to Lexie and said,
“Let’s go. I’ll send you home.”
Anaya walked to the side of the road and took out her phone to call a taxi but found that her phone had shut off automatically.
She did not have any cash on her, so she couldn’t hail a taxi.
Anaya did not stay where she was and walked forward.
This place was not too far from the apartment she rented, and it would take more than twenty
minutes to arrive
Although the wound on her leg would still hurt, Anaya still could endure it.
She would rather walk home than go back to the police station to borrow money from Joshua.
It was late at night, and there were fewer cars on the road, and Anaya was the only one walking
slowly on the sidewalk that was planted with sycamore trees.
After walking for an unknown period, a skinny man walked towards Anaya,
Anaya glanced at him, then continued walking on the floor tiles that had some cracks on them.
As the man brushed past Anaya, he suddenly snatched the phone in her hand and pushed her into
the green belt.
Anaya’s leg was already in pain, and with this twist, she was in so much pain that she broke out in cold sweat.
She thought, today is an unlucky day.
One after another bad things happened to me.
She wanted to chase her phone back, but she felt powerless and could not stand up no matter
what.
She sat there in a daze for a while, then suddenly grabbed a handful of grass beside her, pulled it up, and threw it out as if she was venting her anger.
“Ms. Dutt.”
Hearing this voice, Anaya was stunned.
