Joel Foster did not know if Lucy Katz went home.
When he was at the hospital earlier, he heard the doctors say that if there were no problems, she could be discharged that day.
Before he left the hospital, he asked the doctor about Lucy’s condition. The doctor said that her injuries were not critical.
That was why Joel could leave the hospital with ease, else how could he leave Lucy alone there?
Joel thought to himself that he had to ask Lucy face-to-face.
At that time of the night, that man should have left Lucy’s house. If he was still there at this hour, it would have been suspicious.
Joel decided to see for himself.
He wanted to ask Lucy why she went into another man’s arms even though she still had feelings for himself.
Joel also wanted to see what Lucy was up to at night.
Did that man follow her home?
What was the relationship between the two of them?
Joel contemplated for a bit and decided he was going to do it.
He quickly jumped out of bed and could not care less about the time.
Joel was already sober from the drinks he had earlier.
He wanted to resolve this by himself and did not want his driver or housekeeper to keep him company, so he quietly got dressed, went to the garage, and drove himself to Lucy’s house.
During this period, Joel never stepped foot in Lucy’s house but only knew her address.
Since he was going over, he thought he should familiarize himself with the directions.
Shortly after, Joel had already arrived at Lucy’s house.
He did not know if it was because he missed Lucy or if he was just desperate for her answers.
Joel drove so fast that his speed was almost that of drag racing.
Due to the late hour, there were not many people or cars, so his journey was smooth.
In a blink of an eye, he had already parked his car below Lucy’s apartment.
Joel took out a fresh bouquet from the passenger seat as he got out of the car.
He bought these flowers from a 24-hour flower shop on the way to Lucy’s.
All women these days loved flowers. Even if he was here to talk things through, he should still give her a romantic gift.
Joel held the roses in his hands and walked towards Lucy’s apartment.
Just as he was walking in that direction, he saw a man at her apartment’s entrance.
That man looked familiar.
He was indeed the person that Joel almost fought with at the hospital.
Why was he at her house so late?
Joel watched as that man left the apartment and his mood darkened.
He did not imagine that the man would still be at Lucy’s house at this time of night. What were they doing?
Joel chose to stay at his current spot and quietly stood behind his car.
