When Alex saw the way the both of them held hands, the smile on E’s face and the excitement on Greg’s face, he became jealous.


    That is it, they are both in love. Why should he think too much that E might be feeling the same way for him like he was feeling for her.


    From the transparent ss, Alex stood and watched them both. She wanted to see him, was what Rosa said.


    Fine, she was going to announce her love for Greg to her and possibly request for their divorce as soon as possible.


    The incident that happened to his father shed through his memory. His father died from the hands of his mother’s secret crush.


    He would not let that happen to him. He would let her go and then think of what he would do with his life.


    He walked into the ward and his Expression turned cold. He red at E and then Greg before his eyes rested on their intertwined fingers.


    E smiled and was happy when she saw that it was Alex who walked in. But when she looked up at him, it appeared he was unhappy to see her.


    She followed his line of sight and saw him ring at her intertwined fingers with Greg. Before she could think of separating her fingers from that of Greg, thetter already did and stood up.


    “Do you have to disrespect me this much?”Alex demanded, now ring at E angrily.


    E was worried. Her smiles disappeared and she nced from Alex to Greg and back to Alex again.


    “I know that you love Greg and not me. He loves you too, that I also know. But you shouldn’t have disrespected me this much as to get so intimate and romantic with him.


    You are my wife and I expect you to keep your disy of emotions and love private until we get divorced. Why the open disy of emotions…”Alex used.


    E became helpless. What is Alex talking about? She hadn’t done anything wrong. In fact Greg was telling her how lucky she was to have Alex. He told her that Alex really loved her.


    “No Alex, it’s not what you think..”Greg was defensive of E when Alex interrupted him.


    “I haven’t invited you to poke your nose where it doesn’t belong. E is my wife and are you going to defend her against me?” Alex snapped at him.


    Greg was lost. What is wrong with Alex now? He hadn’t said anything wrong. He didn’t try to take away his right as a husband. He only wants to rify things.


    Turning to E, he continued “you prefer to be with him than being with me, right? I will give you that freedom that you seek.


    I just want you to be happy, nothing more. When you are fine, and the doctor deres that you can be discharged, I will  let you sign the papers to your freedom again” Alex dered.


    He was already in a bad mood. Meeting an unpleasant scene here in the hospital, worsened his mood. He just wants to be alone.


    He nced at Greg again and turned, walked out of the hospital ward. He looked devastated but he held his shoulder high and his head raised.


    No matter what happened, he was still the Alex Foster he used to be.


    Greg was dazed. Alex’s eyes purely portrayed loneliness and pain. He looked like a broken man and the wrong notion he thought about them both was really going to affect his mood.


    He carefully turned to nce at E and saw her tear filled eyes. She was still in the process of recovering and already experiencing this?


    He needed to mend the broken wall. He will do just that and it has to be that day.


    Just then, Rosa returned. She went to get Rubby from school and came directly to the hospital so that the young dude could say hi to E.


    When she walked in, the atmosphere was tense. E’s eyes were teary and Greg stood aside, staring at her.


    “What happened?” Rosa asked no one in particr. None of the two answered her until she turned to nce at Greg.


    “It was all my fault. I held E out of excitement that she’s fine. And Alex walked in to see us both holding hands and the rest is history”Greg exined casually.


    Rosa doesn’t know what to say next. Greg is a good guy, he even med himself for everything that happened. He is a nice guy and she can tell.


    But Alex, he is amazing as well. He loves E and he had shown it to them all that he cared about her.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    For the rest of that day, Alex didn’te and E again. He was feeling bad already and the least he could have was being alone.


    A lot has happened that day. Jackie has given the final nailing to his evidence. Nics confirmed it with his own words and next, totally lost his mind.


    He had a cross with E and he knew he overreacted. He should have at least listened and know what they discussed rather than jumping into conclusion.


    But his mind was too muddled up and he could only think of the worst. Partly because he was yet to recover from what he heard about the reason for his father’s death.


    He would stay away from her until he’s able to ovee his pains and put it behind.


    That night, Alex went to bed drunk. He drank to find peace, to make him forget his misery.


    When Rosa arrived home that evening, she met Ruby in the sitting room. She squinted. He should be asleep already.


    Her day was hectic enough and what she needed was a soak in the bath and a peaceful night’s rest.


    But seeing Ruby seated, she knew he was waiting for her. This little son of hers was five years old but he talks and behaves like a ten year old.


    “Rubby, why are you not sleeping already?” Rosa asked, sinking into the sofa.


    Since Alex didn’te to check on E that evening, Sarah offered to spend the night with E in the hospital while Rosa and Greg went to Alex’s Mansion.


    The only people left at home were the servant, Ruby and the security. Perhaps loneliness must have made Rubby awake.


    “Take me to Uncle Greg” Rubby demanded. He saw Greg in the hospital a while ago and he admired him.


    Rosa was dazed. She just got dropped off by Greg a few minutes ago. She should have told him toe over and say Hi to Rubby.


    “Tomorrow, I promise to take you to him,” Rosa promised. She and Greg had be friends now. They talked about everything except themselves.


    “No, I want to see him today,”Rubby insisted. He frowned and folded his arms across his chest.


    “Greg would be tired now, just as I am. So, let’s leave it till tomorrow morning and


    I will tell Greg you areing over to see you. Tomorrow is a weekend right?”Rosa coaxed but Rubby refused.


    He imed to have something to tell Greg and he needed to say it that night. Unable to persuade him otherwise, Rosa sumbed.
