Chapter 102

Melvin took Jocelyn for granted, and her heart grew bitter with the thought.

For years, his presumption had made him believe that she could not leave – or perhaps, he believed she was incapable of leaving

“This time, I’m serious, Jocelyn said, her voice unwavering. She did not want to be tangled up with him anymore, it was an endless cycle.

Melvin’s face tumed an ashen shade of white, the blood draining as Jocelyn steeled herself, “You need to rest”

“You’re just going to leave me like this?” Melvin bellowed with all the strength he could muster, his voice hoarse and strained.

She stepped out and closed the door behind her, gripping the doorknob tightly as tears welled up and spilled over.

The nurse, arriving to care for Melvin, saw Jocelyn’s red, tear-stained eyes and assumed her distress was for the patient inside.

Thank you

As the nurse prepared to enter, she turned back to ask, “Are you his girlfriend? You know, him seeing you might cheer him up, help him recover faster

A pang hit Jocelyn’s heart. She tried to smile casually, but it twisted into a grimace of part laugh, part cry as she uttered, “I’m not ”

The nurse looked puzzled as Jocelyn walked away.
