MasukKelsey gave Jason's parents a polite smile after Ruby introduced her."It's nice to meet you," she said softly.Mrs. Peterson nodded, though her attention quickly returned to Jason."Thank you for helping us," she said. "Ruby told us what happened."Kelsey glanced at Jason, still lying unconscious on the bed. Her expression cracked with sadness."Please don't thank me. Jason is a friend," she said softly before returning her gaze to Mrs. Peterson. "Has he shown any sign of waking up?"Mrs. Peterson shook her head. "Not yet."Ruby lowered her eyes. "He hasn't moved since I came back."Kelsey looked at her sympathetically, "He will wake up.""I hope so," Ruby whispered.She walked toward Jason's bed, sat beside him, and gently held his hand.For several seconds, nobody spoke.Then Mary looked toward Kelsey. Her posture seemed reluctant, but eventually, she walked over to her."I am Mary Gomez, Jason's sister-in-law," she said calmly. "Thank you for helping us get that woman arrested."K
Back in the hospital... After Ruby walked back toward Jason's room, the anger she had felt while facing Gwen was beginning to fade, replaced by the worry that had been sitting heavily in her chest since she arrived at the hospital. Gwen had been taken away by the police. The truth about the accident had finally come out. But none of that changed the fact that Jason was still lying unconscious in a hospital bed. Ruby quickened her steps. She reached his room and pushed the door open. The moment she stepped inside, she stopped. Ruby's eyes widened slightly. Jason's father was standing on the other side of the bed, his face tense with worry. His mother was holding Jason's hand with both of hers, her eyes fixed on his pale face. Ruby's heart tightened. They had arrived. She had been wondering why they hadn't come all this time. Now she realized that they must have arrived while she was outside dealing with Gwen. For a moment, she simply stood at the door. Seeing Jas
Venus's eyes moved across the dimly lit room, searching for the person who had spoken.At first, she saw no one.Then her gaze stopped at the far end of the room.A man was sitting casually on a chair near the curtain.Venus froze.She hadn't noticed him when she entered the room with James. The room was dim, and the chair was partly hidden behind the curtain. Now that she knew someone was there, she couldn't understand how she had missed him.Her heart suddenly began to pound. He had been here the entire time. That meant he had heard everything.Their entire conversation.Every word.Venus's face immediately tightened.The man looked completely relaxed, as though he hadn't just witnessed something deeply embarrassing. There was even a faint smile on his lips."You look like you're still trying to process what he said to you," he said.His voice was sympathetic, but Venus could hear the amusement underneath it.Her expression darkened. "You were listening to us?"The man raised a brow
It had been two days since the incident at the restaurant.Venus still couldn't forget that evening. She had tried to convince herself that everything was fine, but deep down, she knew it wasn't.She still remembered her conversation with Kelsey in the restroom that day. When she finally left the restroom, she had hurried out of the restaurant before Ramon could see her. One of James' bodyguards had handed her the bag she had left behind.She had gone home that night with a heavy heart.The next day passed.James didn't call.The day after that came and went too, but there was still nothing from him.Venus had called him several times, but his number remained unreachable.The silence slowly began to eat at her.She kept wondering if something had happened to him. Even if he was busy, couldn't he have found a way to contact her?He knew she would be worried.He knew she would be waiting.She tossed restlessly on her bed that afternoon, staring at her phone.‘Why isn't he calling me?’ s
Kelsey watched as the police officers escorted Gwen down the hallway.Gwen had been arrested, but even then, she refused to show the slightest sign of fear.She kept her head high and walked as though she was leaving the hospital on her own terms.When one of the officers reached for her arm, she immediately pulled away. “I told you not to touch me.”The officer frowned. “Miss Storm, please cooperate.”“Touch me again, and I will make sure you lose your job.”Her voice was filled with pride.A few minutes earlier, Gwen had tried to create a scene, arguing that she shouldn't be arrested over something she considered a small issue.“I told you this was just an accident,” she had snapped. “You are seriously arresting me over this?”The police officers had simply reminded her that the CCTV footage had proven she was responsible for the accident and that the matter had to be investigated properly.But Gwen hadn't shown any remorse.Instead, she turned her head toward Ruby.“This isn't over
Gwen's lips slowly curved into a small smile. “Long time, Ramon.” Her voice was calm, almost as though they had simply run into each other after being apart for a few days. Then she glanced at Kelsey and gave her a cocky stare. The hallway suddenly became silent. Everyone seemed to have the same thought. So she really knew Ramon. Even Kelsey was caught off guard. Her expression became complicated as she looked at Ramon. He was still standing there, staring at Gwen as if he couldn't believe the woman in front of him was real. Who was she to him? Kelsey studied his face carefully. She had never seen him look this shocked before. She was about to give him a small tug to bring him back to reality when Gwen spoke again. “I told your wife about us,” she said, glancing at Kelsey. “But it seems she loves making trouble.” Gwen gave a small shrug. “But it's okay. I won't take it to heart.” Those words finally snapped Ramon out of his shock. His expression slowly ret
Kelsey had almost reached their table when Ramon came rushing back into the shop like a storm.He brushed past her without even looking at her and immediately knelt in front of Kendrick.“Kendrick, look at me,” Ramon said worriedly while checking his condition.The little boy was still struggling t
It took Kelsey only one day after regaining her memories to realize that what she had lived in for five years was never a marriage. It was suffering. “I want a divorce.” The words fell calmly from her lips, yet the entire room froze. Ramon Holloway looked up slowly, his sharp eyes landing
The next morning… Kelsey slowly opened her eyes. A sharp pain shot through her head, making her shut them again immediately. Her brows tightened as she let out a soft groan. Everything felt heavy… her body, her thoughts… even her breathing. She was still lost when the door suddenly opened.
Kelsey stepped out of her room after changing into the dress. The soft fabric brushed gently against her skin as she carefully held the side of the gown, afraid she might accidentally step on it. For a moment, she stood quietly outside her door. It had been a very long time since she dressed up
