Seeing the nurse's reluctance to divulge more, Carol didn’t press further and immediately scampered off to the restroom.

The nurses exchanged glances, and one of them began to muse aloud.

"I knew it. No man is that perfect. Listina's been in the hospital for years; Felix must've found someone else. That woman must be

"Exactly. This woman doesn’t even know Felix is Listina's fiancé. He's kept it tight-lipped. So handsome, yet turns out he’s a

player."

"Men are only faithful when they pass away."

"And to think I used to rave about him to everyone, drawing all that envy. Turns out I was blind."

Carol heard none of this. After returning from the restroom, she handed the hand sanitizer back to the nurse and offered a friendly

smile.
