Leaving the villa and only taking some luggage, Lily doesn’t have many clothes. Coming in alone and going out alone makes her wish is was a year ago.
As she is wandering the street, she receives a call from her mother but can't bring herself to tell her mother about what happened. After their conversation, she stays in a KFC from noon to night.
Finally, she can't bear it. She calls her friend Abby.
After Abby picks up the phone, Lily breaks down completely. She cries so much that she can't say a complete sentence. She just repeats, “I'm going to get divorced; I'm going to get divorced.”
After asking where Lily, Abby finds the KFC with the GPS in her phone, and sees Lily sitting alone in the corner. Abby sees Lily in a desperate state and says,
“Lily, I am here.”
They don't talk. Lily cries for a while. After drying her tears, they go back to Abby’s private apartment, a duplex apartment in a prime location.
“Tell me what happened,” Abby says as she gives Lily a glass of hot water.
Lily opens the conversation box and tells her the whole story. Abby sighs a lot, and finally says, “Lily, in retrospect, I am not that surprised.”
Lily doesn't understand, so Abby continues, “When you were married for about 6 months, we went to have dinner. You asked Tim to take me home. He asked for my contact information, but I didn't give it to him. At that time, I was not sure what he meant. I just thought it was a little strange. When you were married, I didn't dare to talk about it.”
