The engagement ceremony ends successfully, and Karin quietly leaves the scene. She walks on the road alone in contemplation. Everyone has their own different thoughts. What she prefers are beyond the understanding of others; similarly, what others like are beyond her reach. Therefore, she is doomed to be alone.
"Karin, Karin..."
Billie calls her behind her. So she stops and turns back and then asks Billie, "Why do you come with me?"
"Because I want to talk with you."
"But it is your big day. How can you leave now?"
"It doesn't matter. The ceremony ends just now, and it's time for dinner. I can go."
Billie goes into a coffee shop with her.
Listening to the melodious music in the coffee shop, Karin feels better. She is stirring the coffee in the cup while adding sugar to the coffee. Billie looks at her with puzzlement, as if she doesn't know her.
"Is something on my face?"
"No. I remember that you never added sugar when drinking coffee."
Karin smiles and says, "It's too bitter without sugar."
"Why didn't you think that it was bitter?"
"At least I think it was less bitter than now."
It didn't matter even though it tasted bitter before, because she felt happy in her life; however, she only feels pain in her life now.
"Then what are you going to do?"
Billie asks her. She hopes Karin will not be painful anymore.
"I am going to go to Edinburgh."
"Edinburgh? Why?"
"I want to find William."
What? Billie feels surprised and she almost chokes because of the coffee.
"Are you really pregnant with his baby? Are you going to tell him about it?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Then why do you want to find him?"
"I want to ask him whether he lied to me or not. I don't believe he would make love with me when I was unconscious at that time."
"I don't think so. When a man stays together with a woman he likes, especially when they are drunk, he will lose his mind and can't control his desire anymore."
"So you also think that this is his baby?"
Billie shakes her hands quickly and denies, "Of course not. I just think that he might have slept with you at that time. But I don't think he is 100% the father of this baby."
"That is why I have to find him. Now only he can prove that I am innocent."
"Can you contact him?"
"No, I can't. His original mobile phone number has been suspended, and the mailbox where he sent me an email last time has also been deregistered."
"Then how can you find him? Do you know his address?"
