Faintly, I heard someone on the phone in the next room. I got into the wheelchair and moved toward the door, where I saw Kendrick standing outside Nikki's room, listening intently.
Inside, Nikki's angry voice came through the slightly ajar door, "Damn it, I'm so unlucky! I was trying to push that wretch Maya off the balcony, but she dodged and I ended up falling into the bushes and getting covered in dirt!"
She continued, "Ha, I'm perfectly fine. Saying I broke my legs was just to fool that idiot Kendrick. Guess what? He actually broke Maya's legs for me! Hahaha, what a lunatic!"
I watched as Kendrick's face darkened instantly.
Nikki's smug voice continued, "Oh, you should've seen it at the bar. Kendrick drank until he vomited blood just to protect me!"
"Seriously, I can't believe how far he would go for me. Do you think I should reward him with something?"
"Forget it! Of course, I'll still marry Elliot. What is Kendrick to me? He's not even as good as my dog!"
I saw Kendrick's fists clench tightly, the sound of his knuckles cracking. His chest heaved violently like an enraged lion on the brink of devouring someone.
