“I dreamed that… I dreamed that Brettley saved Nigel.”
“That’s a good thing.”
Gwen was packing Bethan’s things while smiling and said, “What made you so frightened?”
Bethan paused for a while. She wanted to say something when she saw the luggage in the middle of the room.
Bethan furrowed her brows. “This is…”
Anne patted Bethan’s back, calming her down while replying to her question, “Brettley said that you’ve already agreed yesterday that you’d take Nigel to Blue Bay Villa and stay with Nellie. Gwen and I came here this morning to help you and Nigel pack.”
Gwen nodded. She packed up Bethan’s clothes in the cabinet and sighed. “Once you’ve been discharged, I can safely follow Luke back to Sea City. In the future, if you need any help, come look for me immediately. No matter what, I’m still the wife of Sea City’s largest gang’s leader. I could still help you.”
At that, Bethan remembered that Gwen and Luke had gotten married. They seemed to have even made a bet. If Gwen was fine after the abortion, they would have a grand wedding ceremony.
For the past two days ever since she woke up, she had been grieving for Neil and being worried for Nellie and Nigel. She almost forgot about this.
At that thought, Bethan pursed her lips.
“How’s the wedding ceremony with you and Luke?”
Gwen who was packing halfway paused a little.
After a while, she lowered her head. “We’re not holding the ceremony for the time being. Luke…”
Gwen chuckled bitterly. “Luke’s first girlfriend returned back to the country.”
Gwen inhaled. “I don’t know when we’re getting a divorce, but I’ll be his wife until then.”
Gwen lifted her head, smiled, and looked at Bethan. “So, no matter what, call me if you need me. You hear me?”
Bethan was stunned.
If she recalled correctly, she had asked Luke before if he ever had a relationship before. Although he did not answer her, his reaction said everything.
Why would an ex-girlfriend suddenly appear?
Bethan furrowed her brows. She wanted to say something else, but Gwen had already zipped the luggage up.
Gwen got up and yawned. “You’re up just in time. Get down and change. I’ll send you and Nigel over!”
Bethan’s train of thoughts was interrupted. She sighed and got changed with the help of Anne.
The three women went downstairs together, and a huge recreational vehicle stopped by the entrance of the hospital.
The feeble Nigel was already lying on the bed in the vehicle.
Nigel was explaining to Luke, who had a laptop in his hands and a confused expression, next to him.
“This is just basic coding. When I have the time next time, I can slowly teach you this.”
Luke smiled. “Great.”
Once Bethan got in the car, she noticed her son and Luke being friendly with each other.
She furrowed her brows. Did Gwen not say a moment ago that Luke’s first girlfriend was back in the country? Why did he still have the time to accompany Nigel?
Anne helped Bethan find a seat in the car.
Once Gwen put Bethan’s luggage in the car, she went to the counter to get Bethan’s patient records.
Looking at Gwen leaving, Bethan confusedly turned to look at Luke.
“Just now Gwennie said that your first girlfriend– “
“It’s fake,”
Luke stopped Bethan before she could finish.
“She feels that she’s not worthy to be with me since she was married before and had gone through such an incident. So, I came up with a ‘first girlfriend’ to let her have peace of mind.”
Bethan and Anne were both speechless. The two of them looked at each other.
“Are you sure that such a lie…won’t make your relationship even worse?”
Luke smiled bitterly. “Things cannot get even worse.”
He reached his hand out at Bethan. “Congratulations on starting anew.”
Bethan paused for a while before reaching her hand out and shook his hand.
“Congratulations on getting what you want.”
Soon, Gwen returned.
The driver drove straight to Blue Bay Villa, where Nellie and Lily had long waited for them by the entrance. Seeing that Bethan really came, Nellie excitedly rushed forward. “Mommy! “
Bethan hugged Nellie tightly and subconsciously looked at the villa.
Lily seemed to have read what was on Bethan’s mind. She laughed.
“Mr. Morrison has already packed up all the things he needs and left. This will be your home in the future.”
Bethan furrowed her brows inconspicuously.
She thought that Brettley would have at least stayed back to welcome her.
However, with Brettley not being there, Anne and Gwen felt more at home.
The two women instructed Luke’s men to carry Nigel into the villa, carry Bethan’s luggage, while one of the men went to the kitchen to decide what feast to cook for lunch.
Blue Bay Villa was lively for the entire day.
In the evening, John came to pick Anne up. Luke and Gwen bade farewell to Bethan and returned to Sea City.
The villa was in utter tranquil silence as night fell.
After tucking her two children to bed, Bethan walked around the villa with a coat on her.
She did not know why, but she felt as if a piece of her heart was missing.
The next morning, Bethan did as Nigel’s doctor requested–to go to the hospital to get detailed records of Nigel’s current situation.
“Bethan?”
Coming out from the hospital, Bethan was about to get into the car when a lady suddenly called after her.
Bethan subconsciously looked in the direction in which the voice came from. She immediately noticed a lady rushing toward her.
Bonnie Lane.
No, she should be called Bonnie Craig.
After coming out from the mental asylum and going through a detailed mental assessment, confirmed that she was not mentally ill, she inherited the Craig family’s wealth. At that moment, Bonnie’s name was changed to Bonnie Craig.
Bonnie ran over and grabbed Bethan’s hand excitedly. “I finally found you! I heard that you woke up. I came over a few days ago, but your friend blocked me, saying that you didn’t want to see me. I came here again today to try my luck, but they said that you were discharged yesterday ! “
Bonnie smiled while panting. “I thought that I’d never see you again! “
Seeing how happy Bonnie looked, Bethan felt a little complicated.
“You…wanted to see me?”
“Can’t I just see you without any purpose?”
Bonnie laughed.
“We have not seen each other for a long time. Should we have coffee?”
Bethan hesitated for a while. In the end, she still nodded her head slowly.
She was heartbroken for Bonnie, just like how she was heartbroken for her past self who was so obsessed with Brettley.
