Chapter 3
Moira''s hand trembled, and the phone slipped from her grasp,nding on the ground with a loud
pop.
Juliet woke up with a start and subconsciously looked to Moira. Seeing Moira wake up, Juliet was
excited. "Thank god! Moira, how do you feel now?"

"Jul." Moira looked at Juliet, her voice trembling.
Juliet remembered something had fallen and leaned down to see Moira''s phone on the ground.
As she picked it up, she saw the news feed on the lit-up screen and the picture of Alfie holding
ire underneath.
Juliet quivered out of anger. She didn''t know if Moira had seen the news, so she hid her anger and
acted normal in case Moira hadn''t seen it and would feel worse. "I''ll ask the doctor toe to take a
look at you!"
Moira''s eyes swept over the cell phone that Juliet put back on the bedside table. She said nothing,
closed her eyes, and gently answered, "Thanks, Jul."
Juliet was still wearing the bridesmaid dress from yesterday. She had been staying by Moira''s side
sincest night and didn''t even have the time to change her clothes.
Moira did not want her best friend to worry about her anymore. Besides, it was time for her toe
to reality.
So what if she and Alfie were childhood sweethearts for twelve years? With ire around, she
would always be Alfie''s second choice. She used to tell herself It was okay as long as Alfie loved
her. But now, the tearing pain all over her body was telling her it was not okay. It never was.
If Alfie loved her, how could he leave her behind for ire again and again? She had had enough.
Moira had a tight grip on the sheets and gritted her teeth, which made the wounds on her body hurt
more and more. The pain sobered her up. She was done for it!
Juliet soon came back with the doctor. Aiken brought back breakfast, and when he saw Moira finally
wake up, he felt his nerves loosening up after being tense all night.
After the doctor finished examining Moira, Aiken fainted just as he walked out of the ward. Moira
heard a noise outside and called out subconsciously, her face turning pale with panic. Juliet pacified
her and hurried out.
Moiray on the hospital bed, looking at the ceiling. She had never hated herself so much.
Bary Covington and Liden Dittman had juste out of the elevator when they saw Aiken,
assisted by nurses and doctors, heading toward the lounge.
Linden hesitated. "Mr. Covington, that seems to be Mr. Jimenez."
Bary''s eyes flickered as he raised his hand, signaling for Linden to take a look at the situation.
Linden hurriedly turned over and followed Aiken.
Bary continued to walk deeper into the hallway. Soon, he was outside Moira''s ward. He took a
deep breath and walked in.
Hearing the footsteps, Moira slowly opened her eyes, only to meet Bary in his gaze. She didn''t
expect him to be here, so she asked, "Mr. Covington? Why are you here?"
"Ms. Jimenez, I was the one who hit you yesterday. How can I make it up to you?" he answered
tly. His voice was low and distant.
Moira was stunned. She felt partially responsible for the car identst night because she was
careless while chasing Alfie.
Moira looked down at the gauze on her body without saying anything.
Suddenly, her cell phone buzzed, and the screen lit up. She turned her head sideways and tried to
reach for the phone with difficulty, but she identally tore the wound. The pain made her face pale
in an instant.
Bary looked held the cell phone, cing it in front of her.
Moira saw the message from ire before she took over her phone. That message gave her an
absurd idea.
She didn''t take the phone from Bary''s hand. Instead, she looked straight at him and said, "Let''s
get married."
She knew she was being ridiculous, but everyoneughed at her, and she wanted to give them a
hard p!
Gritting her teeth, she repeated. "You, marry me."
