Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

“But I’m fine. There’s no need…”

“Mom, we’re already here. We might as well use our time wisely.” Joshua and Bonnie persisted.

Hence, Dolores was forced into getting a medical check-up.

The result that came out after showed that she was healthy. Joshua thought that the doctors might’ve made a mistake, and the results were wrong.

He quickly explained the situation to the doctor-in-charge.

Dolores couldn’t sit by idly anymore, “Joshua, what did you say?”

“Uh, you guys were washing the bedsheets that night. Dad said you…”

“You bought that?” Dolores understood it all now, “You said that Bonnie was not feeling well. That was just an excuse to get me here for the check-up, right?”

Joshua admitted, “Yeah, but we did it because we care about your health.”

Buzz. Dolores’ phone, which was in her pocket, rang suddenly. She picked up the phone, and Charles’ voice came through, “You’re not here yet?”

Dolores looked at the time, then only did she remember that Charles had asked her out today, “I don’t think I can make it today.”

She was still in the hospital now. Plus, it was way past the time they agreed to meet.

“Why not?” Charles chuckled, “That jealousy-filled man in your house won’t let you meet me?”

“Nah. Something urgent came up and I can’t leave now.” Dolores knew Matthew’s motives clearly. This was what he wanted.

Why else would he have lied to the kids that she wetted the bed, and made them trick her into coming to the hospital then? He didn’t want her to have time to meet up with Charles.
