"This isn't something that can be explained over the phone. I'll seek an opportunity to meet with his family in

Hazel fully trusted her husband's judgment. She hung up the phone and tried to calm herself, vowing not to get
angry with Lily again.
Lily emerged from her room by evening. She was dressed in fresh clothes and ready to head to the hospital.

It gave her hope. She would feel invigorated during every hospital visit no matter how exhausted she felt coming

"Lily, chere! | made dinner." Hazel stepped out of the kitchen in an apron, "Wash your hands. Dinner is
almost ready."
Her cooking skills were mediocre. Smight even call them terrible: However, Lily would always finish
whatever she cooked. Yet, it felt overly ingratiating that Hazel had cooked her dinner despite their earlier
argument today.
Lily had no appetite. "I'm not hungry. You can eat without me."
"You can't skip meals! Your body won't hold up!" Hazel blocked her path. "It's late now Where are you going?
"I'm going to the hospital to see Hayden Lily looked at her expressionlessly. "I can take care of myself. You should
visit him more often if you have the time. He's doing much better now. Dr. Blackwood suggested spending more

would be left in tears during each visit.
She immediately removed her apron. "How about we pack the food and eat with Hayden at the hospital?"
"Sure." Lily watched as Hazel hurried back to the kitchen to pack the dishes into containers before they left the
house together.
They would take a cab whenever they went out together.
Winter nights arrived earlier than usual in Jadeford. The entire city was illuminated with neon lights before
6:00p.m.
The car's interior glowed with the reflections of the city's lights that cast taint shadows on Lily's pale tace. Her
expression was blank
She spent the entire afternoon in her room and couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was a jumbled mess.
She had been in a chaotic and empty state lately with only one clear thought.
She had to cut ties swiftly and decisively with Xavier. She could sever all inappropriate thoughts and finally move
on once their divorce was finalized.
Lily and Hazel arrived at Silverstone Hospital as the caregiver was about to leave to buy dinner for Hayden. The
caregiver decided to head downstairs and eat alone when she saw they had brought food.

The caregiver had been diligent in her work, Hayden looked well and clean. He was clearly
The caregiver tidied up and smiled as she said, "Thank you, I'm from the south and not used to the local flavors.
I'll grab something I'm more accustomed to." Lily stopped insisting after hearing that. She walked the caregiver

Rowan typically would cover at 8:00pm after finishing his work at the lab.
However, today was different. Xavier dragged him out at 6:00p.m. under the pretense of having dinner together
Rowan quickly realized that he had something on his mind. Rowan had chosen the dining spot. It was a food stall
on the roadside where Xavier hadn't been before.
