Too Good for You The Ex-Wife You Lost novel Chapter 192

Back then, Anne was determined to join the rally race. As her mentor, Noelle needed to look out for her. No one could predict when accidents might happen in such a dangerous event. To keep Anne safe, Noelle protected her from attacks by other cars. However, during that race, Noelle injured her wrist.

Even though she went through countless rounds of therapy, her wrist still ached whenever it touched cold water or on damp, rainy days. After that car crash six years ago, she thought her hand was ruined forever. Luckily, fate showed her some mercy.

"From now on, don't say that thing again." Noelle did not want to bring up the past.

"Back then, I protected her not only because she was my student, but because she was part of our Solar Squad. As captain, it was both my duty and my right to keep everyone safe.

"As for six years ago, no matter what happened, I missed the meeting. That was my fault. Even if I had my reasons, I still broke the promise," she added. She turned to Hunter. "If we keep holding on to the past, we'll never move forward. Don't you agree?"

Hunter could see that Anne's coldness had cut deeply into her heart. But this was something between them, and he had no place to interfere. All he could do was quietly ache for her.

"I just want you to be happy," he said softly. "If anyone makes you unhappy, no matter who it is, I won't let them off easily." No exceptions, not even for someone who was once Noelle's student.

Noelle gave him a soft smile. She rose on her toes, pressed a light kiss to his forehead, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Hunter."

Even now, walking this path alone, she was not really by herself. She still had him by her side. That was enough. She felt content, even blessed.

…

The next day, light rain fell over Emberfield during the qualifying round, just as Anne predicted. Rainy weather made the track slick, testing both drivers and machines. The tuning data from yesterday had to be adjusted all over again.

When Noelle arrived at the venue, everyone was already there. People cast glances, subtle yet deliberate, at her wrist as if concerned about it.

Cassandra walked up to Noelle, feigning concern. "Ms. Quinn, is your hand all right today? If it hurts, I can ask the medical team to get you some ointment."
