Thea was wheeled back into the operating theatre to get her wounds closed back up.
James waited in the corridor outside the theatre on a bench.
His arms were propped on his knees, and his hands covered his face.
He felt immense guilt toward Quincy.
He walked aside, took out his phone, and texted her.
[Have you left?]
Quincy had already left the hospital and was sitting in her car absent-mindedly.
Suddenly, she heard the chime of a text notification from her phone.
She picked it up and saw James’ message. Her beautiful face was contorted in an expression of grief. Quincy knew that James still had feelings for Thea, and was unable to forget her despite the divorce.
Still, she wanted to shoot her shot. It was better than regretting having not done anything.
In the end, she still walked away with a broken heart.
‘Everything was my fault,’ lamented Quincy.
She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and replied to the text.
[Yeah, I left. I’m on the way home.]
After sending the message, she inhaled deeply.
She held up her fist and pumped herself up.
“Quincy, you have to be strong! This isn’t the end of the world. You just have to keep going.”
Despite her attempts to cheer herself up, she ended up crying again.
She leaned on the steering wheel and wept wretchedly.
After crying for what felt like an eternity, all the tears she had were spent.
Suddenly, she remembered that James’ medical book was still at her place, but she knew that he had to stay at the hospital to take care of Thea. Knowing James needed the book, she quickly drove home to bring it to him.
Thea’s wounds were swiftly patched up.
She was sent back to her ward after.
