"Don't worry. You won't need your husband to come and get you I'll knock you out and carry you home myself!" Ava said. She then downed a glass of liquor. Feeling the drink wasn't strong enough, she poured herself another.

Meanwhile, Artemis had already downed hers in one gulp, while Mona hesitated before taking a small sip. Under the watchful eyes of her friends, she nervously finished her drink.

After that, Ava got drunk and started complaining about Bud. Seeing Ava heartbroken over her unrequited love, Mona felt a deep pang of sorrow.

Mona's time travel might have changed Ava's fate of dying on the operating table, but she couldn't give Ava the life she truly deserved. For instance, after Bud saved Ava, she developed feelings for him. Unfortunately, Bud did not return her feelings. "Ava, maybe you should let go of Bud?" Mona suggested, not wanting to see her friend drown her sorrows in alcohol.

Ava shook her head firmly. "No, unless he has a girlfriend. As long as he's single, I won't give up. I've lived more than twenty years, and he's the only man who's ever caught my heart."

She recalled lying on a cold bed, and Bud's arrival felt like a divine rescue, leaving her captivated from that moment on.

"Ava, stop drinking. You're already drunk," Artemis urged.

Artemis had acted in many films and TV shows, often becoming emotionally invested in the characters' love stories. In reality, she had never experienced love herself.
