Kyla’s hand quivered slightly. The teapot she was holding to pour tea for Grace shook, and the contents spilled, splashing onto the back of Kyla’s hand.
Grace was startled. She hurriedly took the teapot from Kyla’s hands and put it down. Then, she nervously looked at Kyla’s hand that was scalded red by the hot water. “Kyla, you scalded your hand. Quick, rinse it with the cold water!”
However, Kyla stood still blankly and did not move.
Grace immediately gripped Kyla’s wrist, dragged Kyla to the sink, and turned on the faucet.
Swoosh!
Cold running water washed the back of Kyla’s red and swollen hand.
However, Kyla seemed to feel nothing. She did not feel the burn on the back of her hand.
Her mind was haunted by what her best friend had just said.
‘Martin Wolss… has left Emerald City? He loft tMason Swansonty without telling me about it.
‘It’ll probably be difficult for us to see each other again in the future. Just like that… one of us will be in the north while the other is in the south. We’ll only be strangers!’
She felt fits of pain in her heart. It was so uncomfortable!
‘I made the decision! Doesn’t it make sense for him to leave Emerald City? But why do I still feel so devastated by the news?
‘Kyla, you’re so melodramatic!’ she scolded herself.
“When did he leave?” she asked in a murmur.
“He took a flight last night at 8 p.m.,” said Grace, who heard about it from Jay.
Martin Weiss had chosen to leave Emerald City, which meant he had accepted Kyla’s choice to separate.
Kyla said nothing more and looked down as if pondering something.
Grace said nothing. She could not intervene in such After rinsing his hand with water for about 20 minutes, Grace turned off the faucet when she figured the scalded spot had cooled down enough. She carefully dried Kyla’s hand and asked, “Do you have any ointment here? You’d better apply some, or you’ll get blisters on your hand and it’ll hurt badly.”
“Yes, I’ll apply some later,” said Kyla.
“Let me help you apply it,” said Grace. She asked where the medical kit was and found the ointment. After applying it to Kyla’s hand, she finally felt slightly more at ease.
“Alright, I’m okay, and it’s getting late. Why don’t you go first?” said Kyla.
Grace looked at the time. It was almost time for her to go to the kindergarten and pick up her two children, so she said, “Okay, I’ll leave. Make sure your hand doesn’t come into contact with water for two hours.”
“Okay, got it,” said Kyla.
Once Grace left, Kyla stared blankly at the back of her red and swollen hand, her nose feeling sore.
She had forced Martin Weiss to leave Emerald City!
When she was young and ignorant, she thought that nothing could stop a couple as long as they loved each other!
After she grew up, she learned that there were too many things in the world that would leave you helpless.
Plop! Plop!
Droplets of water constantly fell on the back of her hand, which had just been applied with ointment. It was wet now.
Kyla froze for a moment before discovering that they were her tears. ‘I’m crying again! Is it because Martin Weiss left? Or… am I crying over how short-lived our love was?’
The tears streamed down as if they could not be stopped.
She told herself not to cry. Crying too much was not good for the baby. She should not cry! Besides, her mother would be back from grocery shopping soon and Nelson would be back from school too…
However, her tears streamed down as if there was no end to them…
At night, Nelson was asleep, while Mrs. Corbyn looked at her daughter’s red and swollen hand. She could not help but say, “You seem distracted these days. Why don’t we close the store for a few days so you can have a good rest?”
“How can we do that? If we close for a few days, someone else will steal our customers. It won’t be easy to bring them back when we reopen,” said Kyla.
“Oh, well…”
As Mrs. Corbyn spoke, there was the sound of thundering knocks on the door.
The pair of mother and daughter looked at each other. After all, people usually would not come knocking at their door at this hour.
The two walked to the door, and Kyla looked through the peephole. The person outside the door was Neal Reid.
Neal Reid knocked louder and louder, shouting, “Open the door. I have something important to say. Open the door.
I’ll leave after I finish speaking. I won’t take much time…”
Kyla frowned and said through the door, “Mr. Wu, I already told you that I won’t visit Jacqueline Bowman. She doesn’t have to tell me anything. The court will make the ruling however they should!”
She was not all-forgiving. Jacqueline Bowman framed her and even maliciously tried to get rid of the baby in her belly. She would not forgive her.
Even when Neal Reid heard Kyla’s words from outside the door, he did not leave. He just said two words.
These two words made Kyla tremble on the spot. Her pupils could not help constricting, and she suddenly opened the door to glare at Neal Reid. She said, “How do you know Amber Mitchell? Did Jacqueline Bowman tell you about her?”
