Nora followed Oca to the porch, watched him changing his shoes.
Then Oca went to open the door, but he did not open it completely.
Because he saw Hazel was driving into the yard of the house.
Nora, who was about to sit on a chair to change shoes, heard Oca, "Hazel is coming. Go upstairs and
hide yourself. I will try to take her out of here, and you just play it by ear."
"..." Once Nora heard that Hazel was coming, she felt like her brain was exploding and stopped
working.
"Hurry up, if you don't want her to find you here." Oca urged her in a calm tone.
You could see that Oca was really very rational and calm. If it wasn't for their love making last night,
Nora could never imagine a man as calm as Oca could be enthusiastic as a volcanic eruption.
Nora picked up her high heels and went upstairs through the living room.
Oca hurried to the dining room to pack the tableware to the kitchen, lest it be discovered by Hazel.
When Oca came out from the kitchen, Hazel had pushed open the door and stood at the porch.
"The door was opened, so I just walked in." Hazel put the bag in her hand on the shoe cabinet and she
was going to change her shoes.
Oca went over and said, "Why did you come here today?"
"I don't think you have anyone here to make breakfast for you. So I had made you breakfast myself
today, and I had brought it here so you can taste it. Hazel had a look inside the shoe cabinet and asked
him, "Where are that pair of pink woman's slippers?"
Hazel chose that pair of pink slippers by herself when she went to the supermarket with Oca, so that
she could wear it when she came here.
There were only two pairs of women's slippers here, except for the pink one, the other was a green pair
prepared for the part-time maid. She remembered it clearly.
"Maybe the part-time maid had washed it." Oca replied and brought her a pair of disposable slippers.
"You can wear it for the time being."
Hazel didn't say anything about it. She wore the slippers and brought the bag to the dining room.
"Could you get some bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen?"
Oca was still standing there while he said, "I have already had breakfast. I cooked it myself today."
Taking the breakfast in her hands, Hazel paused for a second when she heard him and there was a
sense of depression in her eyes, "I should have told you in advance. I'll call you first next time. "
"Well, I'll take it to the office and eat it when I'm hungry." Oca stretched out his hand and took the bag in
his hand. "Shall we go together?"
"I want to stay here and help you clean up your house today." Hazel said and had a looked around the
house.
"You don't need to do the housework by yourself, and the maid will take care of it." Oca did not expect
that she would come up with such an idea. "If you are free today, how about going to the office together
with me?"
"I'm afraid that I would interfere with your work if I went there." Hazel said considerately.
"No one can distract me while I'm working." Oca said. He was right about it, and he had already proved
it to Hazel before.
Oca would be the most restrained and calm one during work, and no matter what happened, he could
deal with it with equanimity.
"Let's go." Oca said.
Finally, Hazel left with Oca.
Nora on upstairs heard the sound of the car engine starting.
She came to the balcony cautiously, and from the corner of the French windows she saw two cars
drawing away one by one.
At this point, Nora sighed with great relief.
After a while, her phone rang and it showed an unknown number. She picked up the phone and took a
deep breath for two seconds before answering the call, "Hello?"
"This is Oca, Hazel has gone. You can leave now, and be careful when you leave." Oca reminded her.
"I see." Nora answered. What happened just now was a close call.
If Hazel had met them when they got out together form the house, then there would have had no way
they could explain it to her.
Once what had happened between them was found out by Hazel, she was willing to take the
consequences by her own. However, it was likely to bring Oca into trouble.
If Hazel got hurt and their relationship ruined by it, she would be inexcusable.
Hazel was kind to her, and she could see that Hazel was deeply in love with Oca and she couldn't take
her eyes off him.
She had done something so terribly wrong and she had to hide it form Hazel ... She really felt so sorry
about it.
She felt so conflicted and distressed. What should she do? Should her just tell Hazel the truth?
Then Hazel would be the suffering one, right?
Just kept her mouth shut and regarded it as a white lie. It was best for Hazel. Nora was feeling better
when she thought that it could minimize the damage to Hazel.
When Nora turned to leave, passing by the soft big bed, she noticed that a stain of blood of which the
color went dark was on the light blue sheet.
She stared at the dark red blood and she realized that last night, it was her first time to have sex with a
man.
She once thought that she would lose her virginity on the day she married Oscar, but what happened
later was unexpected.
She had never had sex with Alan, although they had married for five years. When she just made up her
mind to live like all the other couples with Alan, what had happened last night caught her completely off
guard, knocked her off course and turned her world upside down.
She was under great pressure now and it felt like she was going to break down.
However, she couldn't break down now. She had to find out who had set her up!
Nora left Oca's house and then took a taxi.
Sitting on the car, she was thinking that she hadn't had any drinks except when she at the class
reunion last night.
So she must have been drugged during the reunion party. However, she had been drinking with so
many people that she couldn't tell who had drugged her.
Nora remembered that the man who wanted to revenge her last night was Nathan, and he appeared
suddenly when she was drugged, which suggested that he must be have something to do with the
person who had drugged her.
As long as she followed this clue, she would found it out.
For those who bore malice to her and hurt her so badly, she wouldn't spare any of them!
She didn't go home at once, but called Rose, "Rose, where are you?"
"I am in the hospital, Doris can't leave the hospital now and I have to stay here to take care of her."
Rose answered and she had just finished breakfast with Doris.
"Then I'll meet you in the hospital. I have something important to tell you." Rose was the only one she
could trust and rely on now.
"OK, I'll wait for you." Rose said.
After a while, Nora came to the hospital according to the address sent by Rose.
She had brought some fruits and toys to Doris. Doris was very happy when she saw those toys, "Thank
you, Aunt Nora."
Then, it was time for Doris to take an intravenous drip. Rose waited until Doris was infused with it and
asked the nurse to take care of her. Then she went to the coffee shop in the hospital with Nora.
"What happened? You look bad." Rose knew that there must be something serious once she saw Nora.
"I was being set up yesterday." Nora was honest to Rose. "Nathan, who chased me when I was in
college, was likely to collude with someone at the reunion party to drug me last night, and he nearly
raped me."
