While I stood there in a daze, clutching the food order record, Ruth Frost and the Knapp family finished their meal.Marvin Knapp's mother, Olga Hoffman, walked toward the exit with her arm linked through Marvin's."Ruth is always so thoughtful," she said approvingly. "Even when it comes to a simple meal, she pays attention to every little detail."She knows your father, Earl Knapp, doesn't eat onions, that I love garlic, and that you've hated cilantro since you were little. We can rest easy knowing you've found a girlfriend like Ruth."Marvin blushed awkwardly.Ruth smiled and said, "It's the least I can do. You're Marvin's parents, which makes you mine too. How could I not treat you well? Mr. and Mrs. Knapp, is there anything else you'd like to eat? I'll prepare it for you tomorrow."With just a few words, she made it clear how much she valued them. Her eyes practically sparkled as she looked at Mr. and Mrs. Knapp.I stood at the front desk, staring at Ruth in a daze as my eye

"You're right, Marvin. It was shameful of me to get my girlfriend pregnant before we were married. But she had a miscarriage three months ago, right after we got engaged."The doctor told her to rest so she wouldn't risk losing the baby, but she insisted on going out of state for work. She ended up overexerting herself, and we lost the baby. The doctor said it was a boy who had already begun to take shape," I said wistfully.At that point, I glanced at Ruth. Her head was lowered, making it impossible to read her expression, but her fists were clenched tightly.I turned back to Marvin and continued, "Marvin, what were you and Ruth doing three months ago?"Marvin jutted his chin proudly. "Three months ago, Ruth took me on an outdoor adventure for my birthday. No matter how exhausted she was, she insisted on staying by my side. She said nothing in the world was more important than making me happy on my special day."His voice was bright and clear, but every word struck me like a sled

"Ruth, tell me, who's really the homewrecker here?" I demanded, emphasizing every word.Marvin's face went pale for a moment.Ruth couldn't bring herself to look at me. "Cedric, now isn't the time for this."I laughed, though it felt as if someone had just carved a chunk out of my chest."Now isn't the time? They insulted my parents for not raising me properly, called Mom a terrible person, and even tried to beat them up—and you're telling me now isn't the time?"Marvin wrung his hands nervously and tugged at Ruth's arm, his eyes red. "Ruth, don't let Cedric pressure you. I know you're a big softie, but we grew up together, and you made me a promise."Then he turned to me, deliberately putting on a wounded expression."Cedric, I know you're upset right now, but you can't force someone to love you. Ruth and I genuinely love each other. Why do you insist on coming between us?"I almost laughed in disbelief at his audacity. "I'm talking to Ruth. What does any of this have to do wi

It wasn't she was afraid or a sense of injustice.My heart ached so badly that I could barely breathe.I turned to the nurse and said, "Please call the police. They barged into the hospital room, verbally abused my parents, and physically assaulted them. My dad hurt his lower back too. We want their injuries documented."Mrs. Knapp immediately panicked. "The police? You're calling the police over something this minor? I didn't know the truth. You people had me all confused!"I let out a cold laugh. "Does not knowing the truth give you the right to hit people? To curse my mom and call her trash? To injure my dad? Now that you know the truth, shouldn't you get down on your knees and apologize?"Mrs. Knapp's expression stiffened. "Why you!"Mr. Knapp's face turned dark and stormy. "Cedric, don't push it. We're not people you can push around."I stared them dead in the eyes and said emphatically, "My parents aren't people you can push around either. You're going to pay for what you

"You knew," I continued. "That's why you put on that little performance at the hospital. That's why you humiliated me in front of everyone. And that's why you let your parents insult mine."Marvin suddenly stopped crying. When he looked up at me, there was a vicious glint in his eyes."Yes, I knew. So what? I'm the one Ruth has always loved. So what if you stuck by her through the hard times? Once she had money, I was the one she wanted to bring home to meet her parents."She remembers what my parents like to eat, and that I don't eat cilantro. Isn't that enough to tell you everything?"His words were like knives, but they could no longer cut me.I nodded. "It tells me she's shameless, and you're just as disgusting."Marvin's expression changed, and he raised his hand to slap me. I grabbed his wrist and slapped him across the face with my free hand.A sharp crack rang out.He clutched his cheek and stared at me in disbelief. "How dare you hit me?"I shoved him, releasing his w
