After Mike left, I went to Sean’s ward.
He lived in a super VIP ward of the hospital. One ward was more than 100 square meters.
When I went in, I saw Sean lying in bed. Luke was reporting to him.
I was waiting outside in silence.
After a while, Luke came out. When he saw me, his eyes were strange.
I went in and went to Sean’s bedside. I could see the white gauze in his sick suit. He was putting on a drip.
“I’m sorry.”
I sat down.
“I’m glad you’re OK.”
Sean’s hand reached out and held mine.
Although the knife didn’t hurt his internal organs, he shed a lot of blood. The hospital said Sean would need to be in the hospital for at least a week before returning home to rest.
I asked the coffee shop for a week off and then took care of Sean.
There were two reasons. One was that he was injured because of me.
Another reason was that this time I was going to put Molly in jail and let her go through everything I’ve been through.
At that time, I just hoped Sean didn’t blame me.
Although he was very kind to me, I always felt a little uneasy.
During this time I contacted Mike. He told me something. To my surprise, Gina was actually calling her daughter that day.
Her daughter was born before she went to prison. Although the father didn’t want the child, Gina raised her.
Gina confessed because she wanted to take care of her child.
Gina was sent to prison under Molly’s arrangement. She was short of money to support her daughter, so Molly found her and promised to give her money. Gina agreed for her child.
Molly gave Gina a a bigger temptation this time, which was to help her change her identity so that she could go to other places to start a new life.
This was a great temptation for Gina.
Now Molly was in their secret surveillance, and they could arrest her when the evidence was clear.
I thanked officer Mike again and again.
But I didn’t tell anyone.
The day Sean came home, I got a call from the last renovation company. They informed me that I could go to work next Monday.
I thanked them again and again.
I told Sean about it when I got home.
Sean didn’t comment more, though he thought I was tired.
That night I was afraid that I would hurt his wound and didn’t want to sleep in the master bedroom with him. But Sean disagreed and forced me to sleep with him.
That night I was in his arms and I asked him,”Sean, if you choose between Molly and me, who do you choose?”
“…”
He was silent.
He didn’t answer.
But I was more sad.
I didn’t look at him with my eyes down. I went on, “if you can only choose one and you have to, who do you choose?”
He was still silent.
He stroked my short hair with his hand. After a while he said, “let’s go to bed.”
Sure enough, he couldn’t answer.
He couldn’t leave Molly.
He said he couldn’t leave Molly in his life.
I didn’t know what I was stupid or persistent about.
I closed my eyes and curled up in his arms. I couldn’t sleep.
The next day, Mike contacted me again.
He told me that the police had basically found all the evidence. Although there was no evidence that I was wronged last time, Molly’s case of finding someone to commit violence against me in prison had been proved.
Gina confessed in order to reduce the penalty. And some C. O. had confessed.
Molly’s case was proven.
They would arrest her in three days.
I thanked him again and again and hung up.
Sean went to work. I went to the mall and bought a beautiful white dress. This dress was very nice and well cut.
Although it was a little expensive, I bought it.
I cooked at home at night. I made steak and bought red wine and some lilies.
I wanted Sean to think I was good so he couldn’t live without me. Maybe he wouldn’t blame me when he knew I did those things.
But that night I sat in my chair and waited for a long time.
In the second half of the night, I finally couldn’t help calling him.
The waiting tone on the other side of the phone was ringing.
Finally someone answered the phone.
“Hello.”
I recognized the voice immediately. It was Molly.
My hand holding the mobile phone trembled a little. After a long time, I said, “why do you answer my husband’s phone?”
“He’s taking a bath.”
Molly said without hesitation.
I knew very well that Sean was injured and couldn’t take a bath. His injury did not allow him to do it.
I took the phone and sneered, “Molly, do you think I will doubt my husband? My husband has long said he won’t sleep with you because his wife is me.”
I used lies to cover up this failed marriage.
But Molly was still pissed off by me. She said angrily, “June, you are saved this time. Don’t be complacent. Next time I will let you die!”
Her words made me very sure that Mike didn’t tell her anything.
Sean didn’t seem to pay attention because he was busy.
It seemed that she could really pay for her behavior this time.
I hung up without saying more.
Although I knew Molly would be arrested soon, I was very uncomfortable.
After all, she answered the phone. This proved that Sean was with her.
The next afternoon Mike called to tell me that the police had arrested her.
They caught Molly in her studio. Molly was arguing in front of the police. But in front of the evidence, she had to bow to the law.
Molly was in custody and couldn’t be released on bail because it was serious.
I went to jail twice. It was her turn this time.
The day after she was arrested, I went to see her.
When Molly saw me standing outside, she rushed up angrily and shouted something. I couldn’t hear her because she didn’t take the microphone.
Soon she was held by the police.
I picked up the receiver and said to Molly, “I was innocent, but you deserve it.”
Molly broke away from the police and picked up the phone and scolded me, “June, you bitch! Bitch!”
Later the police took her under control and I left without saying more.
I thought it would be the last time I saw Molly.
Sean still didn’t come that night.
I went back to my own home.
The next day was Monday. I went to work and my colleagues treated me well.
On the first day of work, I just got familiar with the environment. I left when it was time to leave.
As soon as I got to the door, my cell phone rang. It was Inez.
