The nurse looked a bit surprised. When she had come in earlier, she saw Carol arriving with Felix. Didn’t she know that Felix was Listina's fiancé?
Someone coughed nearby, and the nurse, fearing she might land herself in trouble, especially since Carol and Felix seemed quite close, quickly changed the subject.
"Never mind. Why don't you head to the restroom?"
Seeing the nurse’s reluctance to divulge more, Carol didn’t press further and immediately scampered off to the restroom.
The nurses exchanged glances, and one of them began to muse aloud.
"I knew it. No man is that perfect. Listina's been in the hospital for years; Felix must've found someone else. That woman must be the one."
"Exactly. This woman doesn’t even know Felix is Listina's fiancé. He’s kept it tight-lipped. So handsome, yet turns out he’s a player."
"Men are only faithful when they pass away."
"And to think I used to rave about him to everyone, drawing all that envy. Turns out I was blind."
Carol heard none of this. After returning from the restroom, she handed the hand sanitizer back to the nurse and offered a friendly smile.
The nurse, as if she’d seen something she shouldn’t have, quickly averted her gaze.
Carol found it strange. Weren’t they just amicable moments ago? Confused, she went off to find Felix.
They continued their sweet dalliance for another half-month. During this time, Abner was about to get discharged, and Carol went to collect some items for him.
After seeing him off in the car, Abner realized he'd left his phone in the ward and wanted to retrieve it.
Carol pushed him back into the seat, "Dad, I'll get it for you. Just wait here."
So, Abner settled back in the car.
Carol got into the elevator, and when it stopped at a particular floor, she came face to face with Listina.
Listina’s health had improved, and she had been gaining a bit of weight, now able to walk around the hospital.
When she saw Carol, her pupils contracted sharply. The last time, she had spotted scratches on Felix's neck, and now she discovered a fresh love bite on Carol's neck.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
