Chapter 7


    Moira hopped next to Aiken, who had already seen Alfie and ire, and the smile on his face was


    immediately gone.


    Moira dragged his sleeve, "Dad, I want to go home."


    Aiken looked down at his daughter, his eyes welling up. "Okay. Let''s go home."


    Alfie wanted to chase after Moira, but ire had been apologizing nonstop. He had no choice but to


    stay andfort her.


    "I''m sorry, Alfie. I messed up again," said ire.


    Her words made Alfie feel more annoyed by Moira. "It''s not about you. She was mean to you," he


    said.


    ''It''s not like ire chose depression. And Moira is responsible for her current state.'' thought Alfie.


    He got this serious look when he was thinking about the past.


    He stopped talking about Moira in case it irritated ire again. "You must be exhausted from your


    early flight. Let me take you back to your hotel so you can rest," he said gently to ire.


    ire discreetly looked at Alfie and nodded. "Okay."However, a smug smile ticked up on her face,


    and Alfie didn''t see. Her weakness and docility were gone.


    *****


    Moira was discharged from the hospital today, which was good, but running into Alfie and ire


    ruined the day.


    After sending Moira home, Aiken returned to thepany to attend a meeting. He had been absent


    from work for a month to look after Moira.


    Juliet helped run the tub for Moira. Moira hadn''t taken a proper bath for a month. Also, she could


    use a bath to wash off the bad luck she got from ire.


    When ire called, Moira had just fallen asleep not long ago.

    She hadn''t fully recovered, and the doctor told her to rest.


    The cell phone vibrated loudly on the side. Moira thought it was her assistant calling, frowned, and


    sat up from the bed to pick up the phone.


    She couldn''t help but sneer when she saw the unfamiliar number. She knew ire would call after


    the p.


    Moira answered it. "What do you want to say this time?"


    ire pretended to be surprised. "Oh, how do you know it''s me? Well, I want to remind you that


    tomorrow is the third anniversary of your rtionship. I remember you wanted to get your marriage


    license with Alfie tomorrow, right?"


    ire couldn''t help butugh. Moira could feel how pleased she was with herself, even on the


    phone.


    Moira would be lying if she said she was not mad. Shey in the hospital for more than a month. In


    the beginning, the ribs and fractured calf hurt so much that she could not sleep at night. She would


    bite the pillow and endure the pain, hiding it from Aiken and Juliet.


    Those long, miserable nights allowed her to see the reality. And now, she did feel mad, but that was


    it, nothing else.


    Moira would have been hysterical if it were a month ago, but now, she was incredibly calm and even


    laughed at ire on the phone. "Excuse me, but I think you have some misunderstandings about


    me. I don''t take trash, and there are other men in the world, in case you didn''t notice. I have thrown


    him away like garbage. Keep him since you are so into recycling."


    With that, she hung up.


    ire had nowhere to vent her anger because she didn''t hear Moira scream as usual. She felt the


    left side of her face burning in pain.


    "Damn you!" ire yelled and called Alfie. She wanted to know when Moira would break down.
