Chapter: 1127
Rhoda's eyes were red and swollen from crying. “After marrying Derek, life became a struggle for my poor daughter. Even during pregnancy, she couldn't find peace and faced constant torment from her mother-in -law."
Rhoda felt powerless when her daughter confided in her about her grievances a few days ago, and now she could only express her own frustrations.
Nancy's eyes filled with tears as she blamed herself, “It's all my fault. If I hadn't walked Madeline out, she might not have fallen.
Joanna and I were right there, yet we didn't catch her."
Sharon was familiar with Nancy and knew she was adopted into the Scott family, where Kayla liked her very much. When Nancy took the blame, she quickly reassured, "Miss Chase, this isn't your fault.
Don't blame yourself. Your time in Glophia was short. Joanna and Norah are so resentful towards Madeline that Joanna doesn't need a reason to push her."
Joanna bit her lip, unable to find words to defend herself, and silently hoped for Madeline's well-being.
Everyone believed Joanna pushed Madeline based on what Sharon and Nancy said. The main reason was that Joanna didn't defend herself against Sharon at all.
Bryson had already stepped up before Sharon started cursing, yet she opted to tune out everyone due to her anger.
Seeing Bryson's cold expression now, Sharon finally started to feel a little scared.
Nevertheless, she dismissed her fear, convinced in her heart that Joanna had sought revenge on Madeline.
Thankfully, Madeline was alright and only needed rest.
Relieved by the news, those waiting outside the operating room were glad to avoid hearing anything worse.
Sharon gave Joanna an angry look and said, "I'll deal with you once Madeline is awake."
Then, they all proceeded to Madeline's ward to visit her.
Nancy rose to her feet and said with regret, "It's all my fault.
Thankfully, Madeline is okay. I need to head home now. My brother is waiting. Goodbye, Joanna."
Jaxson approached Joanna with a detached expression.
“If you're not to blame, defend yourself. I'm outta here."
His tone was cold, yet it brought her comfort.
Tears filled Joanna's eyes as she watched him leave.
One by one, everyone left, leaving only Bryson by her side.
"Bryson, I didn't push Madeline."
She choked back her sobs and declared with conviction.
