My Great Escape Led Me to You novel Chapter 115

The hospital corridor was bathed in harsh, sterile white light that glared off the polished tiles, filling the air with the acrid scent of alcohol and something colder, more clinical.

When Emily Blair’s knees hit the unforgiving floor, the pain shot up her legs and left her with a single, absurd thought:

Were these tiles always this hard?

Before her, Andrew Lane’s shadow loomed—tall, unyielding—and his voice cut through the hallway, sharp and merciless.

“If you refuse to admit your fault, then you’ll kneel here until Isabella wakes up.”

The words struck Emily like a slap, stinging more than any blow. She tried to push herself up, but the estate’s housekeepers, summoned from the Lane family mansion, forced her back down, pressing her shoulders to the icy floor.

Every passing glance from nurses, doctors, and visitors felt like knives against her skin, slicing her dignity to shreds. Still, with her voice hoarse and her pride raw, Emily stubbornly lifted her head and met Andrew’s gaze.

“Did you even bother to investigate?”

“What’s there to investigate?”

Diana Harris and Kyle Lane finally arrived, Diana’s tone gentle but her words icy as she approached.

“Alice Anderson has already explained everything. It’s all quite clear. There’s no need for you to struggle anymore.”

She slipped her arm through her son’s, her smile sweet and cold as frost.

“And your goal’s been achieved, hasn’t it? Tonight, Andrew and Isabella were supposed to announce their engagement. Thanks to you, that’s ruined. Now they’ll just get engaged quietly, no need for any announcement. Does that satisfy you, Emily?”

Emily let out a bitter laugh. “You don’t even bother checking the facts, just blame me outright? Is that the Lane family’s usual style?”

Diana’s smile turned brittle. “And if it is, what are you going to do about it? Do you really think you can fight us?”
