RedNovelChapter 738 Uncle, Aunt...
Alexa's eyes popped wide open, and for a second, she thought she must be imagining things.
After a moment, her voice quivered, "You... you're..." Selena gently helped Alexa up, brushing away the strands of hair stuck to her face, and settled her onto the couch.
"I'm family to Blaine," Selena explained.
Selena had a hunch that Alexa's misunderstanding about her and Blaine was something Blaine might have set up himself. After all, he married Alexa as part of srevenge scheme, and making life easy for her was not on his agenda. But Selena was there to clear things up, so she took it upon herself to explain.
Alexa needed a moment to let the news sink in.

Alexa just stared at her, moving from shock and disbelief to finally accepting it. Yet, instead of feeling relieved or happy about the misunderstanding being resolved, she broke down, tears streaming down like a necklace that had snapped.
Selena quickly grabbed stissues from her bag to help dry Alexa's tears. "Why are you so upset, even after finding out I'm not your husband's lover?" Wasn't Alexa trying to run away because she got the wrong idea about her and Blaine? Alexa let out a bitter smile. "Even so, there's no going back for us." "No, right from the start, there's been this deep-seated grudge between us. I'm a Hodge, and that means he'll always hold it against me." Selena let out a sigh. "The past is in the past, right? Don't let the issues of the previous generation hold you back. You're both young, with your whole lives ahead..." "You don't get it..." Alexa mumbled.
No one knew better than her just how much Blaine loathed the Hodge family.
As the heir to the Irwin family, his life should have been all smooth sailing, a life of privilege and prestige. But thanks to the Hodge family's betrayal, the Irwin family fell apart. Overnight, he lost everything and had to run with his newborn niece.
He went from being a nobleman to living in the shadows.
Every day was a battle to survive.
His only reason to keep going was revenge.
He'd dealt with all the Hodge family but kept her around as an outlet for his rage.
Years of suffering didn't just vanish because the Hodge family was no more. His whole personality was twisted by revenge, his life emotions were a thing of the pet consumed by it, and normal He always needed somewhere to vent.
And that was her.
She held onto hope that one day Blaine would believe she never betrayed him.
But he never did.
Selena showing up was the final straw that broke her.
She didn't want to live like this anymore, so she chose to run.

She wanted freedom for herself, and maybe Blaine could finally let go of his hatred.
But it was all for nothing, as Blaine found her anyway, and even...
and even.. cut off the fingers of her childhood friend who helped her get away, right in front of her.
That's what pushed her to grab the gun Blaine always had on kinahd try to end it all. Hearing this shook Selena to her core.
The screams and cries she heard on the phone suddenly made sense.
Blaine had never shown such a ruthless side to her. She had been too naive.
In times like this, words felt empty.
Selena stopped trying to talk her into anything and gently comforted Alexa. "For now, just focus on eating and getting srest. We can figure everything else out when Blaine wakes up." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
