Hugo stared intently at Scarlett, waiting for her to speak.
The longer she stayed silent, the more worried he became.
“Have you fallen for him?” Hugo asked, his eyes darkening.
Scarlett met his gaze. “Hugo, that’s my personal business.”
“Not answering means you’re admitting it?” Hugo pressed, his expression sour.
His heart raced as he struggled to suppress his irritation.
“Think whatever you want,” Scarlett replied, not wanting to engage further, and stood to leave.
But Hugo grabbed her wrist, “Scarlett…”
The sharp pain in her wrist made Scarlett wince immediately.
Noticing something was wrong, Hugo looked at her with concern. “What happened to your arm?”
Before Scarlett could respond, he rolled up her coat sleeve.
Her smooth, fair wrist revealed a bluish mark.
Hugo frowned deeply, “What happened here?”
Scarlett pulled her hand back from his grasp. “I’m fine.”
Hugo didn’t believe her for a second

Herplexion, her earlier reaction, and the marks on her wrist all suggested something was wrong.
“If you don’t tell me, I’ll take you to the hospital for a check–up,” he said, making a move to lead her away.
Scarlett didn’t have much energy left and <b>was </b>too tired to argue, but she knew Hugo’s stubborn nature wouldn’t let him

Thinking quickly, she blurted out, “It’s really nothing, just twisted my wrist during a fight with Tim the other day.”
Her words were a mix of truth and lies, and Hugo looked at her with suspicion. “Really?”
Scarlett nodded, her eyes sincere. “Really.”
“If you were hurt, why didn’t you mention it before?” Hugo asked, his words sounded like a scolding, but his tone was full
of concern.
Scarlett found his concern oddly unsettling.
“It’s not a big deal,” she said, gently rubbing her wrist before tucking it into her jacket pocket.
She looked up at Hugo, who was watching her intently.
The atmosphere was a bit tense.
Scarlett spoke up, “I’m a bit tired. I’m going to head back and rest.”
“I’ll give you a ride.”
“No, it’s fine. I’ll just call a cab,” Scarlett instinctively declined.
“You can ept a ride from Yale, but not from me?” Hugo asked, his expression growing darker.
Scarlett was at a loss for words. How was she supposed to respond to thatparison?
Seeing her silence, Hugo said, “Let’s go,” and headed outside.
Scarlett watched him, feeling resigned, and followed.
By the car.
Just as Hugo was about to get in, Scarlett spoke up, “You’re injured. Let me drive.”
Hugo paused.

His eyes swept over her as he quietly replied, “No need, it’s just a minor injury.” With that, he stepped into the car.
Scarlett watched him and got in as well.
Meanwhile, as their car drove away, Tiana appeared behind them.

Watching the car disappear, her gaze grew more determined…
Scarlett, everything <i>you </i>took from me today, I will make sure you repay a hundredfold someday!
Inside the car.

Hugo was driving with one hand, eyes fixed on the road ahead, his face tense and clearly not in a good mood.
Scarlett nced at his injury, recalling the night he had stabbed himself repeatedly…
“Running around like this isn’t good for your wound. It could even tear open,” she said.
Hearing this, Hugo turned to look at her. “Oh really, do you care?”
“It’s your body,” Scarlett emphasized.
Hugo’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Yeah, it’s my body, so it’s none of your business.”
His sarcastic tone was unsettling, making Scarlett frown. “Hugo, I’m not trying to meddle, but you got hurt saving me. I
think it’s only fair to show some concern.”
Hugo kept his face stern and said nothing.
“You saved me, and I’m grateful. I owe you one, and if you ever need it, I’ll repay you,” Scarlett said, turning her gaze
outside, deciding to remain silent.
Just then, the car screeched to a sudden halt.
Hugo turned to her, looking quite upset. “Scarlett, I didn’t save you so you’d feel grateful or owe me anything. Do you
understand?”
Scarlett looked at him, her eyes clouded. “I understand.”
“No, you don’t, Scarlett. You have no heart; <i>you </i>don’t understand!” Hugo said, exasperated.
“Hugo, aside from gratitude and owing you, there’s nothing else I can offer you right now,” Scarlett said calmly.
Hugo paused for a moment.
As an adult, he understood the meaning behind her words.
She was rejecting him.
Because of Yale.

Suddenly, the car fell silent.
Hugo looked at her and suddenly smiled.
“I overestimated myself.”
His deep, hoarse voice was filled with restraint.
He didn’t say anything more, just started the car and continued driving.
Scarlett didn’t know what he meant by that, nor did she ask.
Once spoken, words are like spilled water; Scarlett had no intention of exining.
The car continued down the road in silence until it stopped in front of Scarlett’s building.

She unbuckled her seatbelt and nced at him. “Thanks for driving me home. The kids are at school, so I won’t invite you
up,” she said, opening the door to leave.
Just then, Hugo reached out and grabbed her arm.
His dark eyes held a restrained intensity. “Scarlett, if it were Yale who did all this today, would you still be saying the same
thing?”
Her eyes dimmed slightly. “You’re <i>not </i>him, so naturally, what I say to you is different.”
“So, have you really fallen for him?” Hugo asked.
Scarlett wasn’t sure why he thought that, but just as she was about to speak, Hugo continued, “You won’t be happy with
him. You’ll get hurt,” he said, his voice hoarse.
Scarlett narrowed her eyes, suddenly not in the mood to exin.
“And being with you, would I be happy and not get hurt?” she countered.
Hugo was stunned.
“Hugo, love or not, at least there’s respect. You never even gave me the basic respect before, so why talk about hurt now?”

Seeing Hugo fall silent, Scarlett smiled. “After all these years, I no longer rely on others for my happiness. Everything I
want, I already have.”
With that, she pulled away from his grip, got out of the car, shut the door, and turned to head upstairs.
