Chapter 251: HER BURIED PAIN

Julian rushed to Astrid’s side, helping her up from the floor as Miles stood by, his face etched with frustration and concern.

Astrid groaned, wincing in pain as Julian’s eyes widened in alarm at the sight of blood trailing down her nose.

"Blood!" Julian exclaimed as he helped her clean her nose with his handkerchief.

Then Miles quickly grabbed the nearby ice pack placed on the table beside Mattie’s and gave it to Julain who gently pressed it to Astrid’s nose. "Hey breathe in," Miles let out, and this annoyed Mattie.

They were so focused on Astroe that they didn’t notice Mattie who was glaring daggers at them.

"Don’t you see me? I need help too!" Mattie finally exclaimed, her eyes shining with resentment. Astrid nodded weakly, her eyes locked on Mattie’s angry face.

"She’s hurt too, we should check on her," Astrid murmured. Julian’s eyes narrowed.

"You are not fine yourself!" Julian snapped, "What the hell caused this fight?"

Before Mattie could respond, Astrid cut her off, her voice calm "I was just trying to bond with her," Astrid explained, her eyes locked on Julian’s angry face.

Julian’s expression darkened, his eyes flashing with anger. "Bond with her? Are you kidding me?" he exclaimed, his voice rising. "You’re not even supposed to be around her, let alone trying to bond with her."

Astrid’s face paled, her eyes widening in alarm. "I know, I am sorry," she whispered, her voice trembling as she collected the handkerchief this time the bleeding stopped already

"I just wanted to try and make things right between us."

Miles stepped forward, his face set in a firm expression. "You shouldn’t apologize, Astrid," he said, his voice firm. "Mattie’s the one who caused this, not you, we saw how she had choked you with the necklace."

Tears trailed down Mattie’s face as she exclaimed, "I know I can be scheming, but why won’t any of you listen to me? I promise I didn’t do anything!" Astrid’s expression turned cold, her eyes narrowing.

"I agree, I was the one who pulled my necklace and caused the bump on my head and shoulder," Astrid cried,

"You’re just so innocent, aren’t you, Mattie?"

Julian’s head whipped back at Astrid as she noticed the small bruise now causing a bump on her head, "This.." his voice trailed as she saw the red mark around Astrid’s neck.

"Miles, take care of Mattie, I mean ass in warning in whatever you are going to do. I will take Astrid home now."

Astrid nodded, her face pale. As she turned to leave, she caught Miles’ eye and mouthed a silent "Please, don’t get too mad at her, she needs to care more than anything now, especially now that she lost her baby." Miles nodded, his expression softening.

But Julian pulled Astrod outside, As they walked out of the hospital room.

When they reached the crowded hallway, Julian asked, "Are you happy causing yourself injury?" He asked and Astrid looked up at him.

"I am not ready for an argument," Julian’s eyes narrowed, as he just breathed out.

Astrid quickly pulled out her phone and texted her grandfather, saying she was gone and that Mattie didn’t want her near her, so she shouldn’t force their relationship. As she put her phone away, she caught Julian’s eye and smiled sweetly.

"Hey! Stop giving me that look, let’s go." she pulled Julian’s arms but he was reluctant and she related his arms instead she spread her arms.

"Then carry me," she mumbled, "There are a lot of people," Astrid creased her face

"Common." Julian didn’t listen and just walked forward, this made Astrid scoff.

"Well, I wanted to let things go, but since you’re mad at me for what I did, I am going to rile you up even more, I like seeing you annoyed," she said, her voice dripping with mischief as she walked out with Julain trailing behind her.

Suddenly they were stopped outside the hospital ambushed by a swarm of reporters and camera crews.

The flashes from the cameras were blinding, and the cacophony of questions was deafening.

Astrid turned to Julian, a sly smirk spreading across her face. Julian’s brow furrowed, and he realized too late that Astrid was about to pull another stunt.

The reporters bombarded her with questions, and immediately she got closer to them.

"Astrid, what do you think about Mattie’s current scandal?"

"Is she as brutal as the rumors claimed?" they fired at her, Astrid flipped her hair to the side, subtly revealing the bump on her head and the marks on her neck.

The camera flashes highlighted the injuries, making it seem like she was a victim of Mattie’s brutality.

"Oh, we noticed you coming in with a fruit basket, for Mattie is she the cause of this?" Julian’s fist tightened as he typed on his phone telling Larry to meet them in front of the hospital with the car.

Astrid shook her head, her expression a mask of innocence. "Mattie can’t be that evil," she announced sweetly.

"She’s just mad... and Mattie will forever be my idol. I love Mattie so much... you should all care for her instead of sensationalizing this scandal."

"Common, why are you still nice to Mattie despite everything?" Astrid’s smile never wavered.

"Mattie doesn’t deserve your hurtful words. I am pretty sure she had her reasons.

Julian not able to take it in again, moved toward her, and the press made way immediately they saw Julian.

He quickly lifted her off the ground, and the guards surrounding them

rushed to escort them to a waiting car.

He shoved her inside of the car also getting inside the car in a rush she they sped away from the hospital.

Julian rested his head on the back of the chair, his eyes closed in frustration.

Astrid, on the other hand, seemed to be basking in the aftermath of her little stunt.

She rested her head on Julian’s shoulder, a small smile playing on her lips. She felt a sense of relief wash over her whenever she was close to Julian.

As they drove in silence, Astrid opened her eyes and asked, "Why aren’t you saying anything, Julian?"

"If I say anything, you will just get mad, so why bother?"Astrid didn’t miss the tone he had responded to get with.

"Are you getting tired of me, Julian? If you are, just let me go." she let out but the silence that followed was oppressive, and Astrid felt a chill run down her spine.

She raised her head from Julian’s shoulder and sat back in her chair, her eyes fixed on the passing scenery outside the window.

Larry noticed the coldness between the couple and felt a pang of sympathy for Astrid.

Just then she opened her palm, seeing Mattie’s hair also, she had purposely riled Mattie up to get her hair also.

She sighed and put it in her purse, if he was going to continue getting mad at her she might as well do things her way.

Just then, Astrid’s phone buzzed, she sighed and checked the message, to see it from a strange number.

"Ma’am... sorry I am reaching out to you again, but I can’t keep this to myself... I saw a flash drive in Stephan’s house when cleaning up, and it has some disturbing videos."

Astrid eyes narrowed as she clicked on the first video. Her eyes widened as a scream escaped her mouth as she watched in horror.

The video showed Mattie with an injection as she injected it into her mother, the scene unfolding in a hospital ward.

Astrid’s phone fell from her hands, her eyes fixed on the screen in shock.

Julian, worried about Astrid’s sudden reaction, picked up her phone and checked the screen. His eyes widened stunned as he watched the video.

"It’s Mattie," she whispered. "She killed my mother, my instinct was never wrong, that fucking bitch killed my mother!" She wailed, the pain buried so deep into her heart tearing out.
