Chapter 5
Alfie left Moira at the altar and was shot to be intimate with ire. Moira went from being the most
envied girl to the joke in town.
People made all kinds ofments about this on the inte.
[I thought they were so in love. Childhood sweethearts for twelve years is just Moira''s wishful
thinking.]
[The most pathetic bride ever. A running broom and a car ident. It''s a double whammy!]
[This is what happens when you marry for money and benefits. They have known each other for
years. If Alfie cared a little about her, he would not run away from the wedding. I even think he was
avenging her.]

Whether online or in reality, Juliet could see people implicitly discussing Moira. She deliberately hid
Moira''s cell phone and iPad that day in case Moira saw any of them.
Moira knew what she did. She did not ask Juliet for her cell phone. She just let her read those
malicious remarks on Instagram to her.
Juliet thought she was crazy. "Are you out of your mind? Those crazy dogs would bite anybody!"
Moira, however, looked at Juliet calmly. "How am I supposed to learn the lesson if it doesn''t hurt?"
It had been twelve years, and she was finally waking up from her dream. She was afraid that she
would forget the pain if she didn''t rub some salt into the wound.
Juliet''s heart sank. She felt for Moira. "Moira, well ..."
Moira didn''t care. "Big deal. Life is not always easy. "
She had a point. So, Juliet gave her the cell phone. She couldn''t read thements to Moira.
Moira took the phone and logged in to Twitter. Right. It had been on Twitter.
Moira could feel the malice from thosements even behind the screen. She felt ufortable at
first, but the more she read, the more sober she was, as if she was not readingments about her
life.
Moira had five broken ribs, a broken leg, and bruises on her arms and back from the car ident.
After more than one month, she was allowed to go home.
Bary came to the hospital to pick her up in person on the day she was discharged. She hadn''t
seen him since she asked him to marry her.
As she got more and more sober, she realized just how much of a jerk she had been that day. So,
she was a bit embarrassed to see Bary today.
Aiken was not surprised to see Bary here. After all, he was the driver. And Juliet thought Bary
was a decent man who was also a victim in the ident.
Aiken greeted Bary and then went to check out for Moira.
Juliet went to fetch Moira''s examination reports, and Bary and Moira were soon left in the ward.

Moira''s fractured calf was still notpletely healed. She was sitting in a wheelchair.
He was tall, and she needed to lift her head to see his eyes. "Mr. Covington, the request I
mentionedst time..."
"I''ve been thinking about it," he said, crouching and picking up her slipped nket. "My answer is
yes."
Moira looked at him incredulously. "Mr. Covington, I didn''t mean..."
At this moment, Bary''s cell phone rang. "I''ll send someone to pick you up tomorrow, and we''ll go
to the city hall."
He made a direct decision and said, "There is an emergency at thepany." Then, he left.
