Back to Love: A New Beginning
Chapter 191

Chapter 191:.

Janie shifted on her feet; she was hesitant to go inside.

She was completely different from the crazy woman she had been when she was standing on the rooftop railing. She lowered her head, giving the impression of a child who had made a terrible mistake and didn’t know how to fix it.

She hesitantly approached Felix. You could tell she was ashamed of herself.

“Felix, are you okay?” she croaked, but I could tell the concern in her eyes was genuine.

Felix snorted and tossed the last piece of apple into the garbage can next to the bed.

“I’m fine. I survived.”

Janie lowered her head and bit her lower lip. “I don’t know why things turned out like this. I would never hurt you.” Regret and pain were evident in her voice.

Felix stared at her, while Louise continued to fiddle with her phone, not even bothering to glance at it.

I pulled up a chair and sat down. Just then, my phone rang with a message. It was from Louise.

[Eve, do you think I should push her down or beat her up? Look at her innocent face. It disgusts me.]

I looked at Louise and couldn’t help but smile at her.

[I think you need to calm down. Felix knows right from wrong. He knows it’s his fault. After all, he saved you and now he ignores her].

As soon as I sent the message, two uniformed policemen entered the room, one after the other.

“Are you the couple who fell off the roof?” one of them asked. “We’ve checked the accident scene and collected statements from some witnesses. We believe it was a planned assault. We’d like to record your statement.”

Hearing this, Janie began to tremble.

She must have pushed Louise off the building out of spite, without thinking of the dire consequences.

Louise did not answer. She seemed to be lost in thought. Janie looked at Felix, panic and fear evident in her eyes, as she silently begged him for mercy.

Felix looked down. I could tell he was hesitant. After all, no one wanted to complicate the situation.

The policeman opened the notebook and clicked his pen.

“We can start now. I want you to give a detailed account of what happened.”

Felix glanced at it and swallowed saliva. He didn’t dare open his mouth, let alone tell what had happened.

Just then, Louise’s lips curved into a smile.

“Well, we were playing with some friends.” She sounded calm and collected. “But I went a little crazy and accidentally fell off the building. People who didn’t know what was going on thought I had tried to kill myself, so they called the police. I’m sorry. We’ll be careful from now on and won’t repeat the mistake.”

We were all shocked to hear that. Janie’s face had paled; she looked visibly shocked.

She hadn’t expected the woman she had tried to kill to save her.

The policeman frowned and examined Louise’s face. They couldn’t believe her.

“Really? This is a safe space. Don’t hesitate to tell the truth. We’ll make sure justice is done.”

“Yes. This is the truth, Sir.” Louise nodded thoughtfully. “If someone intends to harm me, I would not hesitate to inform them.”

The police asked a few more questions, recorded the statement and left.

Janie stood still and continued to stare at Louise in disbelief. After a long silence, she sighed, shaking her head. “Why?” Louise smiled at her.

“Come here.”

Janie hugged herself and walked over. Without warning, Louise sat up and slapped her. Janie covered her face and looked at her stunned.

“You slapped me in the bar the other day, so I slapped you back.” Louise scowled at her. Janie nodded without argument. After all, Louise had done her a big favor.

Felix remained silent and let Louise vent.

“I slapped you back, but now my leg is hurt because of you. Do you want to know what it feels like to have a broken leg?” she asked, cocking her head to one side.

Janie looked at her in horror. Even though Louise was sitting on the bed with the broken leg, her anger seemed to scare everyone.

I remembered how Janie had pushed Louise off the roof like a madwoman. It wasn’t like her. She wasn’t brave enough to risk everything.

“When the cops came, you were so scared you almost wet your pants, weren’t you?” Louise snorted. “That’s strange because you weren’t afraid of dying.Why are you terrified of going to jail?”
