Chapter <b>12</b>
“You’re being insane, iret Like why? Why would you persevere to stay beside a <b>man </b>who doesn’t give two fucks about your health?” Penelope ground the words out <b>as </b>a tear escaped her right eye.
Although she was aware of the full story of her friend, she <b>didn’t </b>expect to get the gore information ire just shared.
Hunter left her unattended for ten <b>days</b>. Even if he came to see her today, it was only for a few minutes.
He has to he a total jerk to do that to his devoting wife
“It’s certain that man doesn’t feel shit for you. Why would you still chase after him then? Penelope literally screamed as she asked the question.
ire raised her now dry eyes. She was exhausted of crying. But her wetshes <b>made </b>her look vulnerable.
“Hunter is distracted, Penny. Otherwise he was a very good husband to me in thest two months after I asked him to give me another ch-
“Who the fuck is he to <b>give </b>you a chance, huh? That asshole should not even get an appointment to see you <b>again</b>. You’re beyond his reach, ire That freak doesn’t deserve <b>a </b>nce from you, let alone all your afforts,”
Penelope immediately sighed in remorse. She was <b>being </b>too harsh on ire who was not to be med. <b>Ever </b>since she learned the meaning of love, she dedicated her everything to Hunter as she loved him.
While ire frequently <b>visited </b>his <b>favorite </b>ces just to get a glimpse of him, Penelope apanied her. <b>She </b>was there when ire only had <b>a </b>crush on him. And then she was also there when her friend imed that she was in love.
Penelope lent her shoulder to ire to cry when Hunter shared about his girlfriend for the first time on his social media. It was Penelope who passed her tissue papers and averted her attention to other topic to change her direction of thinking. But still, ire didn’t forget him.
She held omo Hunter stubbornly until it finally happened… Finally when he sent her a marriage proposal.
Penelope closed her eyes defeatedly as she med herself for this condition of her friend. If she had tried a little harder, she could have introduced way more handsome and beguiling men to ire eight years ago when her obsession for Hunter started.
Except that she didn’t. Because she liked where her story was leading.
It was a fairytalee true.
A princess fell in love with a powerful King <b>and </b>was lucky enough to get married to him.
s, nothing that transpired further was magical. Rather it was tragic.
“ire, did <b>you </b>try to figure out why I’m back in Bloomerest all of a sudden?” Penelope asked with a raised eyebrow.
She was damn busy this month and months toe. ire thought about it and innocently stared at her friend. She must have a very solid <b>reason </b>to make <b>a </b>hasty reason.
Your father phoned me. He asked me toe back and knock some senses into your numb head” The mention of her father made <b>ire’s </b>face turn white.
“<b>Dad </b>told you that!!” Her lips trembled into <b>a </b>smile <b>as </b>she blinked her wet eyes.
Penelope grinned sadly. “Yes, ire. Your father is <b>too </b>darn worried for you that he resorted to bring me back to Bloomcrest. He thinks since <b>your </b>family is unable to make you see sense, I will do something”
“Will you be moved if I told <b>you </b>he sobbed while telling me about you? ire’s mouth hung <b>in </b><b>daze</b>.
Her father <b>was </b><b>a </b>tough man who saw life <b>from </b>various angles. With years of <b>experience</b>, he knew how to deal with difficult situations and with <b>what </b>intensity.
And yet, when <b>his </b>daughter was concerned, he became <b>nk </b>and cried. He had no other option <b>than </b>to involve her childhood best friend so she could <b>see </b>between wrong <b>and </b>right<b>, </b><b>and </b>make <b>a </b>choice for her future.
“Your family wants <b>to </b><b>see </b><b>you </b>happy and it doesn’t lie with Hunter ire, I have been with you on every step since you got <b>married </b>to him. But if I knew this is how <b>things </b>were going to turn out for you, I would have never apanied you to the clubs and restaurant to see him. Because I can see it’s leading you to the path of doom.” Penelope wailed silently.
“None of you can feel what I feel. You can’t understand my emotions. If I leave Hunter then…” ire’s <b>sudden </b>pause caused Penelope to look up.

Chapter 12
Then as she finished her sentence, Penelope was left <b>with </b>a racing heart. “I will be no better than a dead body. I will die without him.”
For the whole day after that conversation, Penelope tried to not talk <b>about </b>Hunter. He was like the trigger <b>hair </b>on venus fly trap for ire. If touched, it could make the walls of depression close around her and lead to regretful consequences.
She spoke about some random guy she met during work and how it ended to be the best one night stand of her life to elevare <b>ire’s </b>mood. Penelope had perceived that talking to ire would lead to her untimely demise.
It may not be physical. But since ire was emotionally attached to Hunter, she might lose her mental bnce and be a living dead body.
None of them wanted that. There was just one thing they could do now…. <b>Wait </b><b>and </b>see ire figure out <b>that </b>she was <b>making </b><b>a </b>mistake chasing
Hunter.
“Let me get you some food? Penelope said as it was time for ire’s <b>final </b>meal for the day,
She looked at the dusky sky <b>out </b>of the window before she up from the stool to leave.
“Wait, I wille with
you
“Hmm, <b>okay</b>.” Penelope said with a shrug.
Since ire was given fluids one after another<b>, </b>she appeared lively and energetic.
They both took the elevator to go to the <b>lobby </b>that led to the canteen in the hospital.
“I want some juicy burger. My mouth is awfully bitter from the meds the doctor gave earlier. ire told to her friend.
Penelope strictly eyed her, “Only porridge with a ss of fresh juice. You heard what the doctor said, didn’t you? If you want to be discharged by tomorrow afternoon stick to <b>the </b>diet he suggested”
“Fine. But at least get <b>me </b>a toast with butter on it.”
“We can settle for that.” Penelope replied
They <b>have </b>to <b>take </b>a left after arriving at the lobby to enter the attached cafeteria. However, just as they came to the middle of the spacious ce. ire’s legs froze and her face nched.
Penelope read her expression and followed her eyes only to witness her inws <b>consoling </b>Hunter for something. But considering how his shoulders were sagged and his face was red with trepidation. Penelope was intelligent enough to figure it that it wasn’t for ire.
Their doubt was confirmed when a doctor rushed to them and announced, “Miss Levine needs blood, Mr. Macintyre. Her blood group is rare <b>and </b>in <b>is </b>not avable in the blood bank<b>”</b>
“I will arrange it, doctor. Just don’t leave Zara alone.”
ire’s heart <b>dropped </b>watching her husband as he eyed the doctor with that demand spilling from his mouth hoarsely.
She was rooted to her spot, her eyes now watering as she didn’t know when it started. Penelope held her shoulders <b>as </b>she felt the stiffness in her body.
“You’re hungry, weren’t <b>you</b>? Let’s get some <b>food</b>” She <b>said</b>.
But there was no way ire would move. She wished she had because then she wouldn’t have to bear an eye <b>contact </b>with herwfully wedded husband who hardly spared her a two seconds long nce before turning around to leave.
