Trouble in Paradise by Three Way
Chapter 4
Chapter 0004
I used to love watching melodramatic TV shows, so I had a pretty good idea of the destructive allure of first love in a man's life. The more unattainable she was, the more he wanted her.
For Nicholas and Claudia, societal norms meant they could never be together. The Hawk family was too prestigious. Even without blood ties, they couldn't afford such a scandal. If Nicholas truly loved Claudia, even her faults would seem endearing to him.
How could I compete with that?
The surgery proceeded in silence and without complications. Afterward, I sat on the second floor and waited to get my medication.
The smell of disinfectant permeated the air and cleared my thoughts. In a moment of clarity, I messaged Nicholas. "If your had to choose between Claudia and me, who would you pick?" If he chose Claudia, I'd let go gracefully and wish them happiness.
I knew sending that message was impulsive, but if I didn't act on impulse, how could I ever convince myself to give up on the man I'd loved for so many years?
I clutched my phone while waiting anxiously. However, my message seemed to vanish into the void. There was no sign that he would respond. 0004

After a long while, I couldn't resist going back to Claudia's ward.
Inside, Nicholas was delicately spearing apple slices with a fruit fork and offering them to Claudia with a tenderness I had never seen before.
I had come at the wrong time. If I had waited a bit longer, I might have caught undeniable proof of their affair and ended my internal conflict. When I called Nicholas out of the ward, he faced me with indifference.
"What's so urgent that it can't wait until we're home?"
"I'm waiting for your response," I said firmly.
Nicholas reached into his pocket for his phone. After reading my message, he pressed his tongue to the inside of his cheek. "What's this supposed to mean?"
He didn't show the slightest hint of being caught off guard. In his confident gaze, I felt myself appearing to be the
unreasonable one.
In a lazy tone, he asked, "Why the hell should I choose? What's gotten into you?"
Nicholas even casually pulled out a pack of cigarettes, only to put them away when he remembered we were in a hospital.
