“No nord, just don’t bother me again,” Chuck said.

“Alright, alright,” the manager quickly backed down

Lucy sat back in her seat and grabbed a bottle, taking a long drink

Chuck snatched the bottle away. “What do you think you’re doing?”

“Don’t worry about me, it’s all my fault” Lucy was still deep in self-blame. She was scared about what just happened, and a few minutes later she felt dizzy and wanted to drink. In her tipsy state, Lucy’s cheeks were flushed, her eyes glazed as she gazed at the bottle, trying to grab it back from

Chuck.

Chuck raised the bottle high, looking at the table in front of him where all the empty bottles lay, slightly dazed. “You’ve already drunk so much! You can’t have any more.

“Leave me alone!” she pushed Chuck away and told the passing waiter, “Bring me two more bottles!”

Chuck followed closely and said. “She’s just talking nonsense, don’t bring it.”

Lucy’s head was spinning, and the bit of clarity she had regained was lost again due to the blaring music

“It’s okay, Lucy. Ms. Sanchez won’t blame you,” Chuck comforted her

“It’s all my faule Why did I take her to replace that bad person?” Lucy cried as she picked up another bottle to drink

There was only one bedroom at his place, and when his friend laid Lucy down on the bed and tried to take Chuck with him, Lucy grabbed his hand, refusing to let him go. Helpless, the friend had to leave

With Chuck’s arm being held, the air was filled with the smell of alcohol, and right next to him was Lucy’s face. He looked at her delicate features and suddenly felt a pang of excitement. The heat from the alcohol made him forget who she was or who he was. He leaned in and kissed Lucy, who enthusiastically responded, wrapping herself around him.

The next morning, when Lucy opened her eyes, Chuck’s face was right in front of hers. She widened her eyes in disbelief, how did she end up in the same bed as Chuck? She flung off the covers, shock consuming her as she realized she was wearing nothing. The most frightening thing was the faint red marks on her body.

Her face was full of panic. She’d never been hungover before, and her first time ended up with an unexpected fling With Chuck, the one she despised the most! She immediately covered her mouth, not remembering anything about the previous night. The only thing she could recall was someone trying to harm her, and it was Chuck who saved her.

As the sun rose, its blinding rays made Chuck’s eyes hurt. Sitting up from the bed, he felt a pounding headache and couldn’t recall any thing from the previous day.

As soon as she entered the hospital room and saw Yasmine, her eyes started to swell with tears, leaving her no room to think about anything else. “Yasmine…” she could hardly face Yasmine after nearly ruining her life.

“Lucy, come over here, Yasmine knew how awkward she felt and quickly waved her hand, urging her to come over. Her smile was sincere,

Tears fell from the corner of Lucy’s eyes, “Yasmine, it’s all my fault. The more you act like this, the guiltier I feel. If it wasn’t for my idea to take you over to treat him, none of this would have happened. After getting home yesterday, she had been scared for a long time. If anything had really happened to Yasmine, she might have considered ending her own life.

While such companionship seemed like a small gesture, it was a tremendous comfort to Yasmine when her heart was full of scars.

“Alright, Lucy, I really don’t blame you, Yasmine said with a gentle smile.

Lucy wiped her tears and handed over a thermos, “Then have this?

She would tell everyone that her daughter–in–law was pregnant, and even bought clothes especially for her. “Yvette, these clothes are for you.
