It was Thanksgiving, and around noon, Alex received a call from Haley to rush to the hospital. When he arrived, Haley was in a complete meltdown.

Inside the hospital room, everything that could be thrown had been hurled around, leaving a mess everywhere. The moment Haley saw Alex walk in, she abruptly stopped crying.

The nurse beside her and Haley’s mother finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Annoyed, Alex kicked aside the measurement device blocking his path and approached the bedside. “When you made your choice, you should have anticipated all the possible outcomes. What’s the point of throwing a tantrum now that things are like this?”

With her hair a total disaster, Haley sobbed, “Alex, do you hate me too? Even if you helped erase the negative comments about me online, I’ve still ruined my reputation!

“My dad’s company is suffering because of this! I’m your fiancée, so why does your mom protect outsiders but not me?!” Seeing that Alex wasn’t saying anything, Haley continued to cry, “Your mom said such awful things about me at the press conference! She won’t even acknowledge me as her daughter–in–law! How am I supposed to face anyone out there?
