He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 237

**A Promise Hidden in the Quiet Rain by Adrian Hale**
**Chapter 237: Snake’s Surprise Strike**

When Oralia finally blinked her eyes open, she found herself enveloped in Chloe’s warm embrace. The world around her felt hazy, but one thing was clear: Chloe was there, and she was hurt. Oralia’s gaze fell on a thin red line near Chloe’s eye, a mark that seemed to glisten with remnants of blood. A wave of panic surged through her, tightening her throat and sending tears cascading down her cheeks.

“Y-you’re hurt,” she managed to stammer, her voice trembling with concern.

“I’m fine. What about you?” Chloe replied, her tone steady and soothing, as if she were the one providing comfort rather than receiving it.

Oralia couldn’t find the words to respond. Instead, she buried her face into the fabric of Chloe’s shirt, sobbing heavily, the sound muffled yet filled with raw emotion.

As Chloe held her, a flood of memories washed over her—years ago, when she had saved Oralia from a different kind of darkness. Back then, the girl had clung to her just like this, her small hands gripping tightly as if letting go would mean losing everything.

Maybe this time had truly frightened her. The thought gnawed at Chloe.

And what of the others? How were they faring amidst the chaos?

“Are you okay?!”

“Oralia!”

The frantic calls of the crew broke through the haze, and staff members rushed over with urgency. The set, once a scene of creativity, was now a flurry of motion as medics swiftly moved in. Someone had already dialed 911 the moment the situation spiraled out of control.

Oralia was unharmed, but Chloe bore a few scrapes on her face, hands, and elbows. Carolyn appeared unscathed, and Emily, who had bravely pulled Oralia to safety, had deeper cuts on her hands. Thankfully, the doctor was quick to bandage her wounds—nothing life-threatening, but still a reminder of the peril they had faced.

Several crew members had endured injuries during the rescue; others were simply shaken, their faces pale with shock. The medics navigated through the crowd, offering assistance wherever it was needed.

In the rest area, Oralia gently pulled Chloe toward a seat, her presence so close it was as though she were Chloe’s shadow, unwilling to leave her side even for a moment.

“Are you really okay, baby? Please, let me help you put some medicine on your hand,” Oralia urged, her eyes still shimmering with unshed tears.

“Honestly, I’m fine. Just sit down—filming has been called off for today,” Chloe reassured her, gently guiding her down beside her.

After the chaos, Edwin had rushed over, his face etched with concern. Brian quickly took charge, barking orders at the crew to investigate the cause of the pandemonium.

“Are you alright?” Carolyn approached them, her expression laced with worry.

“We’re okay,” Oralia replied curtly. Noticing Carolyn’s lack of injuries, she added politely, “What about you?”

“I’m fine. Emily has a few scrapes. The doctor’s taking care of her now,” Carolyn said, settling down nearby.

With the immediate danger behind them, everyone had gathered around a makeshift first-aid tent. Staff moved in and out, checking on their colleagues, ensuring everyone was accounted for.

Oralia offered a soft “Hmm” in response, her attention unwavering from Chloe. As long as Chloe was safe, nothing else seemed to matter in that moment.

Eugene strode into the tent, his energy palpable. After a cursory glance at Carolyn and Oralia, his gaze landed on Chloe.
