After dropping Leyla off at the hospital, Brayden tossed and turned until late before returning home. The moment he opened the door, it was pitch black, and the man tiptoed into Dolly’s room.
“Hiss.” Brayden closed the door gently, afraid of disturbing the woman in bed.
“Come back.” Suddenly, Dolly whispered.
“Oh, come back.” He felt a little embarrassed.
I wonder if she has messed up her mind? The sudden sound of Leyla’s voice on the phone just now was not something he would have expected beforehand.
“Working late?” The woman asked in a soft voice, without a ripple in her tone.
She wanted the man in front of her to tell her the truth of the matter himself, but it seemed difficult. And Brayden had indeed been dragging his feet.
“Yeah, it’s late, why are you still awake?”
“No, couldn’t sleep.”
She had obviously called Kirkland Group, and the receptionist on duty said he was long gone.
“What’s wrong? Not feeling well?” Brayden gathered the woman tightly into his arms and gently kissed her forehead.
But for some reason, Dolly didn’t feel anything at all.
The man is next to him, but he feels as if he is far away from him.
“Nothing, probably too much sleep during the day.” The woman replied slowly.
The eyes looking out the window were so lonely, helpless and lost, even though they were still in Brayden’s arms at the moment.
“Have you heard from Leyla lately?” Dolly suddenly asked, without a glimmer of light in her eyes.
Brayden froze for a moment, then regained the expression on his face, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
“She, I don’t know, hasn’t been in touch in a while.” The man replied in a low voice.
The woman sneered. It was obvious that they were together just now, and now they were denying it, if nothing really happened between the two, why would he hide it?
Is it true that one should really let go?
The woman’s eyes instantly reddened, and her heart was depressed for a while.
Dolly looked out the window at the lonely crescent moon, as if she was thinking about something, and Brayden closed his eyes, as if he was running away from something, until dawn.
The sun was shining early through the window, but the woman didn’t feel warm at all.
“I’m going to work.” Brayden shouted, took out his briefcase and walked straight out the door.
The woman looked at the man’s departing back, and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.
“Dolly, what’s wrong?” Mrs. Knight rushed over and asked.
Dolly looked at Mrs. Knight, shook her head and said nothing.
In this world, what else would be the most difficult and troublesome thing but love? Even a seemingly harmonious and warm marriage can actually be riddled with problems.
Mrs. Knight sighed and walked to the garden.
She was half a witness to the relationship between Dolly and Brayden, and she naturally hoped that the two would grow old together for the rest of their lives, but it looked as if something was going to happen in the middle.
“Mom, what’s wrong with you lately? It feels like you’re not happy, huh?” Franklin hugged Dolly tightly in front of him with a look of reluctance.
“No ah, maybe mommy is a little tired lately, good boy, go to school, don’t be late.” The woman gently stroked the child’s hair.
After dropping the child off at school, Dolly didn’t go home, nor did she go to the garden. She wanted to be alone, to think over whether to end the relationship or to continue.
Perhaps, the possibility of continuing should be very small, right?
The woman’s eyes dimmed.
“Yah, Dolly, when did you come back?”
“Yeah, it’s been a long time, I’ve missed you to death.” Suddenly, several women appeared in front of her.
It turned out to be colleagues from the supermarket.
“Why don’t you guys go to work? Slacking off again?” Dolly adjusted her mind and joked with them.
“What laziness, we are going to see the supervisor today, do you want to join us?”
Yeah, hasn’t she been lying in the hospital?
“Let’s go, I’ll go too.” Dolly replied painfully.
Perhaps it’s really a long time since we saw each other, several women were talking and laughing on the way, very happy.
“Hey, Dolly, how are you and your Mr. Kirkland doing? He is a rich and handsome man, you are too lucky!”
“Yes, look at you, have been missing for so long, people Brayden still have not given up …”
Dolly, at this time, could only smile awkwardly.
Perhaps, it won’t take much time, they should have to break up, right?
“Okay, let’s go see the supervisor, how to pull on me again, I tell you ah, if you say me again, in a few days I will apply to the store manager, go back to work, every day annoy you.”
“That’s good, we’d like you to annoy us every day. …”
Several women laughed out loud.
The hospital, filled with the smell of medicine everywhere, the corridors are overcrowded. Doctors and nurses hardly have a moment to rest, either into the ward or into the operating room. The weather was not so good lately, and there were many sick people.
“Doctor, how is she doing? Has she recovered well lately?” Dolly looked at the supervisor in the ward and asked worriedly.
The doctor didn’t say anything, just sighed and shook his head and left straight away.
In this case, it was already clear that the chances of reopening the eyes and talking were almost nil.
This is the fate of many people, one second may live like a princess the next second may be down and out like a beggar. The supervisor is indeed annoying at times, but she is not to the extent that she is hated by people.
“So poor, I do not know who the director has offended, but ended up in this situation today.”
“Yes, obviously still a very young and beautiful girl, and now she’s lying in a hospital bed, a vegetable.”
The women discussed in the ward, their eyes netted with sadness.
No, she had to find out!
Dolly looked at the supervisor in the hospital bed and clenched her fist in her hand.
She had to get justice for the supervisor!
It was probably that Leyla again! A ruthless woman with a heart of gold, how much resentment does she have to have to disregard even one life!
“Dolly, let’s go.” A woman leaned over and whispered in Dolly’s ear.
“Huh? Should we go now?” Dolly asked softly.
“Her mother will be here in a while, let’s not disturb them, it’s not easy for the old man, he cries every time he sees us, so we used to sneak over.”
Who wouldn’t feel sorry for their children?
The parents don’t even know how to do the most basic grievance when their daughter is in this state. Because they don’t even know what really happened to their daughter before!
“Let’s go let’s go …” Dolly was pulled out of the ward.
