Chapter 174 Being Hit

All of a sudden, Linda ran out of the room, which made Joan heartbroken. Besides, that man, Austin,
refused her. She felt it was time to leave her to calm down, or else there would be some fight between
them.

So she decided not to chase out now. She looked at Austin coldly. "What the hell is going on with you?
She confessed to you because she thinks highly of you. Moreover, she likes you all the time. Can't you
really accept her? Even if you can't accept it, you can't say it so directly."

"The most important thing is, have you ever thought about the feelings of girls? It took her a lot to figure
out how to express her love to you. But you just refused. Do you really have the heart that a man
should have?"

Austin's heart ached when he saw Linda run out of the room, but he thought he would blame himself if
he didn't figure it out. More importantly, there were so many misunderstandings among them, and he
couldn't forget what happened at that time.

He apologized to Joan. "I'm very sorry for this matter, and for my own difficulties, I can't drag down her
because of myself."

Darren naturally knew about his choice and did go along with Austin on this matter. "Joan, there are
many things that are totally different from what you think. Most importantly, there are too many things
that you can't understand. So I hope that we can talk about these things later. Most importantly, we
have to find your sister as soon as possible. I'm afraid that she'll take things too hard."

Hearing that, Joan furrowed her eyebrows tightly. "If something bad really happened to her, you would
have to be fully responsible for it. Even if everything is like what you said and you have your own
difficulties, have you ever thought that you refused her without hesitation even a reason when a woman
expressed her love in such a way? Don't you feel embarrassed or guilty?"



"I am indeed very guilty, but about this matter, I don't have other explanations. Even if you ask me a lot
now, I can't make it clear."

What had happened in the past had been a great pain in his heart, so he would never say it so
casually.

Otherwise, he would have accepted Linda before.

Darren didn't want to talk about it in front of his friends. Moreover, he didn't get the permission of him. If
he told them about it, he would get into trouble. Besides, even if he could tell them about it and let them
know each other, he couldn't say something sad about them in front.

So he pulled Joan over and whispered in her ear. "I'll explain it to you. You'd better find your best friend
as soon as possible. And I'm afraid that she will do something silly. So we must find her as soon as
possible."

Joan knew her best friend very well, and she believed that Linda wasn't that stupid girl, so she couldn't
help telling him. "Of course she will. But you don't have to worry too much about it. She is just in a bad
mood. But if we go to see her now, she will think that we will laugh at her. So, about this matter, let's
talk about it later!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Austin again. "Austin, in fact, I always know that we can't
force others to do something they don't want to do, but I hope you can give me an answer? Have ever
you fallen in love with her? Don't ever try to fool me with other words. I just want to know if you really
love her, even though only a little. "

Although Austin was a little hesitant, he only got one or two seconds to make his decision. "I do have
feelings on her. But there are some things that I really can't forget. That's why I don't want to hurt her
and myself."



"Oh, my God. Since you like Linda, why did you refuse her? Besides, although you have a lot of things
that you can't forget, you can't refuse her heart like this. Otherwise, even if you regret in the end, you
won't be able to get her back."

His words totally drove Joan crazy. Since he liked her so much, why did he have to give up all of a
sudden? Besides, isn't it too stupid about this?

Austin didn't think there was anything wrong with Joan's scolding him. He knew it was all his fault, so
he said modestly. "In fact, I've been thinking about what you said all the time. But I have not overcome
the devil in my heart all the time. As for this, I'm so sorry for her."

"Joan, you don't need to ask more about that. Besides, everyone has his own privacy. If you bring this
up to him, do you know what he is thinking? I know that Linda is your good friend, but he is also my
good friend. Besides, I have said that I will explain it to you. As long as you listen to me, I will tell you
everything I know. So you don't badger him anymore, okay? "

It was rare for Darren to lose his temper since she was pregnant. So this time, it could be regarded as
a real blow to him.

He had told Joan that he would explain it, so he didn't want Joan to go on asking about it. After all, that
had been always sad for Austin.

But he didn't expect that the woman didn't listen to him at all. And she asked again and again, which
only made him a little angry.

Joan didn't expect that Darren would get angry at her. She furrowed her brows, and although she was
not happy about it, she knew that she was too excited, but she would never admit it. She quickly turned
around, ready to leave.



Since Linda opened the door and ran out, the door was not closed, so she walked to the other side
without hesitation.

It seemed that she didn't want to waste time talking to these two fake people anymore. Darren knew
that he had been rude to her just now. So he patted on Austin's shoulder and chased them.

Austin stood there, thinking about whether he had made the right decision.

But he also knew that even if he regretted, there was no room for manoeuvre.

Linda walked on street alone. She had thought that Austin would catch up with her if she cried out. But
he didn't show up and she felt more heartbroken as she didn't see him.

When the passers-by on the road saw the weeping girl, they felt a little empathy for her, but no one
went up to ask her. Many people chose to watch a drama, and she had to deal with many things by
herself.

Linda didn't know how long she had been walked. She rubbed her eyes gently, hoping that she could
dry her tears.

She was hoping that she would not shed tears because of this. Unconsciously, she arrived at the park
where she had once played with Joan.

She remembered that once something bad happened to her, she would come here to try to relieve
herself. Now, she was finally back here. She had been hurt by her love for so long that she didn't know
how long it would take for her to recover.

With this in mind, she sat on the swing in a daze.

Joan walked ahead. As Joan was pregnant, it was hard for her to walk.



Darren can't help but worrying. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed her hand. "Don't lose your
temper again. Tell me, where is she? I'll drive you there, or we can take a taxi together. "

"It's none of your business. Why didn't you care about me before when you were so cruel to me?"

Joan was still mad at him for what he had done to her. It never occurred to her that he would even yell
at her for that.

Darren naturally knew the reason of her anger, but sighed "You don't understand. You can't imagine
what Austin went through. So it's normal that he reject."

"Are men all looking for excuses for their own acts like this?" Joan couldn't help but laugh at him. He
had told her clearly that he had a little feelings for Linda, so why did he act so heartless?

"You must have misunderstood Austin. Do you know that his girlfriend was hurt by his so-called
monitor? He hated himself for not being able to protect his girlfriend. Whenever he thought of it, he felt
hurt in his heart. So, he always thought that he was unable to protect Linda well. After all, she was just
a helpless girl, so deep in his heart, he never cared about her. He refused. "

Darren could only tell Joan about it, or else it would be a disaster for them.

Joan was stunned. She couldn't believe it, but she believed what she had heard was true. "Let's go to
the Beautiful Park," she urged.

On their way to the park, Joan and Darren talked a lot. She finally knew what had happened about
Austin. When they arrived at the park, they found that Linda was walking out of mind. Joan called out,
but no one heard her. All of a sudden, a car came and hit Linda.
