The Divorce Prescription

Normally, a woman's institution was always right.

The black mask was slowly removed, revealing a face covered in scars.

It wasn't Declan's sharp, handsome features. This face had been ruined, and it was frightening.

Hailey's pupils shrank. Shocked, she instinctively pulled her hand back and took two steps away, putting distance between them.

When he saw her reaction, the man put the mask back on and covered his face again. "Did you see clearly? Am I the person you thought I was?"

Hailey shook her head. "No... I'm sorry. I mistook you for someone else."

The man replied, "It's fine. You should go home now."

Hailey said, "Thanks for today. I really appreciate it."

He replied, "You're welcome."

With that, he left.

Hailey stood there for a moment before turning in the opposite direction.

The two of them grew farther and farther apart.

Surprised and delighted, Hailey pulled her into a hug. "Aileen! Why are you home today?"
