Aileen walks on the street lifelessly.
A drizzle falls from the sky, and drops onto her head without a care.
She can only leave, she can only walk back.
Miya is devastated by what has happened at the airport today, the thing which makes her the angriest
is the horrible attitude of Alex. Does the man really want to divorce?
She gets frustrated at the thought of this. But even finding Alex now is a very difficult thing to do.
She calls him, and no one picks up. She goes to his office looking for him, and he is no where to be
found. She does not know where he has gone to.
The rain is especially heavy today, accompanying the sound of thunder, it makes people even more
frustrated.
Just when Miya is getting ready to go to bed, she hears movement coming from the living room, she
cannot help herself but go downstairs.
It must be Alex coming back. She must use this opportunity to explain to him about everything.
But when Miya reaches the living room, she sees an entirely drenched Aileen, her hair is in disarray,
like a ghost crawling out of a pool.
“Aileen… how did you end up like this?”
After a moment of reaction, Miya finally comes to her senses, and she walks towards Aileen, “What’s
going on? What happened to you?”
“Butler, bring the towels, quick.” Miya calls out frantically.
After a short while, the butler brings the towels, Miya immediately covers Aileen’s body with it. She
busies herself by rubbing Aileen’s still dripping wet hair.
“Sister in law…” Aileen finally cannot hold back and breaks down in tears.
Miya can feel the pain coming off Aileen, maybe she really is in some deep woe.
But who might bully Aileen? And make her this sad?
Instantly, a picture comes into her mind. It must be Richard. She has seen his means at work before.
Aileen is usually sad because of that man.
“Don’t cry, I’m here for you in everything.” Miya sees Aileen’s devastating expression crying, and she
cannot bear it, she can only sweep her back lightly with her hand.
Miya brings Aileen into the bathroom, and urges her to take a bath, and change out of those wet
clothes. Finally, she passes her a hot cup of ginger tea.
“Did Richard do something to you?”
After a moment of hesitation, Miya finally asks this.
Her hands are holding the cup of tea, Aileen looks to the front in distraught. After a long pause, she
finally comes to her senses, and slowly nods her head.
It is indeed because of him!
Miya tightens her fist a little hatefully, “It’s not worth it to be sad over that kind of scum. There are still
many good men in this world.”
Listening to Miya’s effort in consoling herself, Aileen feels even more complicated.
She is sad now not because of losing Richard, but because of…
But she cannot say these words out loud. Because if she says them, Aaron may lose his life.
That man Richard can really do anything.
“I hate him.” Aileen holds back her tears not letting them fall out, as she looks to the front gritting her
teeth, saying.
Miya also sees the hatred from Aileen’s eyes.
“Tell me, what really happened?” Miya caresses her head, her tone caring.
“I…” Aileen wants badly to tell her everything that has happened, but she holds back her words in the
end.
“Tell me, I’ll try to help you.”
Miya’s care becomes stronger and stronger.
“Richard broke up with me. So I will have nothing more to do with him here after.’ Aileen says, and
wipes the tears off her face with her hand.
“A man like Richard is not worth you giving the rest of your life to him. Leaving him is also a sort of
closure to you.” Miya continues to console Aileen.
Aileen hears her words, and cries even harder. She cannot allow her sister in law to be so caring of
herself anymore, or else, she… may really cannot bring herself to do it. Then she will really be unable
to complete this mission. And Aaron may really have to die horribly in that dark basement.
No!
She will never allow this day to happen!
Aileen shakes her head in desperation.
Miya sees Aileen’s crazed look, and is even more worried, “Aileen, I know that you like him a lot deep
inside, but he’s not worth it!”
Hearing Miya’s preach that is full of effort, Aileen’s heart becomes even softer.
“I don’t like him anymore. I’m over him.” She always knows that she likes someone else, and it is
Aaron, she has thought that she hated him, but she does not expect to break down when she sees that
something has happened to him!
“It’s good that you can think it through.” Miya can finally heave a sigh of relief, she is so scared that the
silly girl in front of her will take things too hard.
“Where’s my brother?” Aileen thinks, she has already been back for this long, why does she not see
him at all? Rather it is his wife who cares more about herself.
Miya cannot hold back but sighs, “I would also like to know where in heavens has he went?”
Ever since leaving the airport, she has lost his whereabouts. He is always distant to her nowadays. So
she too feels depressed. But she knows that all of this is caused by Richard. He wants to break them
apart. She will never let him have his way!
But, when will Alex come back to being normal? When will the both of them go back to being close like
before.
Just when Miya is deep in thought, Aileen wants to open her mouth to say something, but she feels
nauseous. She immediately vomits.
Miya is shocked, “Aileen, how are you feeling? I’ll get someone to send you to the hospital now.’
Aileen too feels shocked, her mind is a little blurry. She lets Miya to call for the driver to send her to the
hospital.
Miya asks the doctor frantically, “Doctor, what happened to her? Is she sick?”
The doctor originally looks serious, but after feeling Aileen’s pulse, he heaves a sigh of relief, “Both of
you do not have to worry, this miss is not sick.”
“Not sick? Then why has she vomited? She only got caught in the rain on her way back…” Miya is
behaving like a hen with one chick now.
Aileen is touched by Miya being like this.
She is the one who has vomited, why is she more nervous than herself?
“She’s just pregnant.” The doctor explains.
