For her child and parents' sake, Joyce was aware that she had no choice but to run away.

“Good. Since you've already decided, you must see it through. I'll contact Shane, and he'll arrange for you and your parents to leave. You can inform Mr. and Mrs. Rivers first,” promised Natalie with a nod.

“Okay,” responded Joyce.

“Get some rest and remember to protect yourself,” reminded Natalie.

Joyce took a deep breath before promising, “I will.”

“Good. I'm going to hang up now. Talk to you tomorrow.” With that, Natalie ended the phone call.

“She agreed to leave?” inquired Lina, supporting her head with one arm.

“Yes,” answered Natalie with a nod.

To that, Lina sighed. “That couldn't have been easy.”

Since she had inched close enough to Natalie's phone, Lina had heard everything Joyce just said.

Before that, she was upset with Joyce because of the woman's indecisiveness.

Lina could not understand why Joyce would hesitate about leaving a man who obviously hated her.

Seeing how badly Joyce was blinded by love, Lina could not help pitying the woman.


“I'm sure it wasn't,” responded Natalie while rubbing her temples.

Pouting, Lina voiced, “She's just a hopeless romantic, isn't she? How can anyone love another so much that they're willing to sacrifice their dignity? If I were her, I'd have dumped Stanley long ago.”






























Natalie chuckled when she heard Lina. “That's why you're not Joyce. Everybody has their own unique personality. She might be a hopeless romantic, but I can understand why she had trouble letting go of Stanley. I believe her relationship with the man has more to do with obsession than love.”

Joyce was obsessed with Stanley, so under normal circumstances, she would probably never get over the man.

To Joyce, loving Stanley had already become a part of her.

“All right, enough about Joyce. Now that she's finally made up her mind, the rest is up to her. If she doesn't sort this out, not only her but also her child and parents will suffer for it,” stated Lina.

“You're right, so let's hope Joyce understands her situation.” Natalie nodded in agreement.
