Love Coming from the Least Expected Chapter 24

I quickly replied, saying I was fine, and I had been

discharged from the hospital.

However, my fingers lingered on the keyboard as I

hesitated to end this once and for all. In the end, I

decided not to as I could not bring myself to hit the

―send‖ button. That‘s just who I am. Because I‘ve lost so

much, I don‘t want to lose anything else anymore. I

yearn for warmth and love, even if I myself find it hard to

give love.

When I arrived at the clubhouse, I received a call from

Sabrina. She was my only best friend who wouldn‘t

hesitate to speak of her feelings. ―Hey, I know you‘re

married and living a happy life. But, it doesn‘t mean you

should be cooped up in your lovey-dovey nest all day.

You should really meet up with us sometime. It‘s not like

your love would disappear the moment you step out of

the house, right?‖ she teased.

I let out a bitter laugh and thought to myself. It‘s been

two years since we got married, and I realized I had lost

a huge part of me. No wonder Sabrina always complains.

I used to think that those were really sweet moments,

but all that‘s left was sadness. I can‘t believe my life has

become like this – a world that‘s filled with Lyle and only

him!

―I‘m sorry. I got caught up with something. But I‘ll be

available later. What‘s up?‖

―It‘s just a small gathering with our friends at 301

clubhouse. You must attend, or I won‘t be friends with

you anymore,‖ Sabrina said in a childish manner.

I agreed to come as I was at the same place. The

meeting went well, and Mary noticed that I lost weight.

Hence, she asked if I was doing okay. I smiled lightly and

told her I was discharged from the hospital a while ago.

She complained that I wasn‘t taking good care of myself

and that she would have brought the contract to the

hospital if she knew I was unwell. Furthermore, she also

asked about Lyle. However, I merely smiled at her. How

am I supposed to tell my business partner that my

husband cheated on me and was the cause of my

miscarriage? Besides, my husband was not the father to

my baby.

Once the meeting was over, I walked toward the private

room according to Sabrina‘s description and knocked. I

immediately regretted it as soon as I entered the room.

Because, in that room, were Sabrina and a bunch of

familiar faces as well as Benjamin. He was Lyle‘s best

friend who always looked down on me. In fact, that

―What a shame. Well, who knows who the father is.

Perhaps she messed around with someone else, and

something bad happened.‖ Benjamin snorted.

I could feel countless eyes staring at me as I replied, ―I

met a madman who wasn‘t looking at where he was

going and fell. Don‘t worry. Although I can‘t drink, we

can still do something else.‖

The door of the private room was pushed open as I said

those words. It was Lyle who walked in. I frowned at the

sight of him as a bad feeling crept into my heart. Lyle did

not notice us as he said excitedly, ―Everyone, look who‘s

here today!‖

The crowd saw the mysterious person and began

whispering among themselves. Who was this mysterious

person that got Lyle so excited? I thought as I took a sip

of my water. Then, I heard the sound of high heels

clicking against the tiles.

I initially thought it was Bianca. Yet, I was proven wrong

when I looked closely at the woman who was wearing a

white dress and a sweet smile. It was none other than

Crystal. I was taken back as the cup in my hand slipped

and fell onto the ground with a loud clang.

She‘s back, and at this time too? Why?
