Chapter 4
When Linden and Juliet arrived at Moira''s ward, Bary had just exited the room.
Linden followed Bary and left.
The hospital expected many visitors, and the elevator was crowded with people.
It was not until they returned to the car that Linden asked Bary, "Mr. Covington, did you and Ms.
Jimenez have a deal?"
Bary, resting with his eyes closed, reopened them when he heard Linden ask. His index finger
tapped the leather of the seat. "I guess so," he answered.
"So what should I prepare?" Linden asked, thinking Moira was frank.
Then, he heard Bary saying from the back seat, "A house for my married life."
Linden felt that, most likely, he had misheard. Subconsciously, he turned back and looked at
Bary. "Mr. Covington, did you just say a house for your married life?"
He was only thirty years old, too young to be deaf.
"Yes," Bary answered with a single word and went back to his nap, his left hand gesturing for the
diver to dive.
The car slowly started, and Linden withdrew his sight and pinched his hand. Ouch! So, he was not
in a dream.
He wondered what Moira had said to Bary that made him suddenly prepare for married life. He
naturally knew the house was not for Moira and Alfie, like a wedding gift. Bary would simply ask
him to transfer a home to Moira if it were the case.
Linden was confused all the way.

Meanwhile, Juliet was also surprised by Bary''s appearance.
Bary was the president of the Sega Group. He took over thepany five years ago, even if
Aiken could not get an appointment with him. A big shot like him showed up in Moira''s ward. That
was weird.
But she looked at Moira, who was lying in the bed, and thought she was out of her mind. Moira had
met Bary no more than three times. There couldn''t be anything going on between them.
Juliet gathered her thoughts and asked, "Moira, what was Bary doing here?"
"It turned out he was the one who hit mest night, and he came to talk aboutpensation," Moira
answered.
This made sense. Juliet continued asking, "So what did you ask for? You know he''s insanely rich,
right?"
Moira was about to answer when she saw a figure rushing to the door. "Moira!" Alfie called out.
Juliet stood up and shooed him out before Moira could say anything. "Get out, you scumbag!
There''s no need to y Romeo now."
Alfie didn''t say anything, just looked at Moira. He knew Moira would make him stay.
But he was wrong this time. Moira didn''t say a word when Juliet pushed him out of the door.
Aiken saw him outside and pped him in the face angrily. "How dare youe to my daughter''s
ward after what you did to her? Get out of my face, you little shit!"
Alfie stood at the door, looking in through the ss, and could see Moira also looking at him. Her
eyes were no longer full of love for him. Instead, they became cold and emotionless.
Alfie frowned. He knew Moira was furious this time.
Moira looked away after a nce.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
