Time-Limited Love: A Contract Expired, Not Renewed novel Chapter 164

Noelle’s face drained of color in an instant.

“I already said it was the nurse’s fault! What does any of this have to do with me? Why should I be the one to apologize?”

Apologize—publicly, in front of everyone online?

She glanced at Zinnia, who looked utterly unmoved, completely immune to her pleas. Noelle’s eyes went watery as she turned to Landon with a wounded pout.

“Landon, are you really going to just let her keep badgering me like this?”

Landon’s hand rested lazily on the back of Zinnia’s chair, drumming his fingers in a slow, indifferent rhythm. He didn’t say a word; his whole posture was relaxed, almost careless. No one could guess what he was thinking.

Especially Noelle—her face went completely white, as if all the blood had drained out.

“Noelle, is that what your brother’s life is worth to you? A million dollars?”
