Chapter: Chapter 33The room was quiet. Only the steady beeping of the heart monitor could be heard. Chloe laid on another bed, her gaze trained on Lily. The doctor had said Lily’s CT scans were okay and she only had a slight concussion. If she woke up within the next 24 hours, they would be in the clear. But for now, all they could do was wait. Aspen stood near the window, one hand in his pocket and the other holding his phone. He was on the phone with his secretary. They had finally found out why the accident happened. Some rich college kids had been having a street racing competition, and some of them were even drunk. One of them turned into another road, wanting to use it as a shortcut so he could win. The road happened to be the same one Lily's taxi was on. The driver tried to avoid the crash by swerving to the other side of the road, but the drunk driver still crashed into them. The taxi driver had taken most of the damage due to his intentional positioning of the car. He had become the benefacto

It only took a short moment, but it felt like an eternity had passed. Her fingers hovered over her phone, debating whether to call the police.Slam.Through the window, she saw Jack running to his car as if chased by spirits. He yanked his car door open and sped off.Moments later, Ethan stepped out of the shop and locked the door behind him. He walked around the car and got in silently. His expression was unreadable.When he was settled in, Lily turned to him“Thank you for earlier.” She said softly.Ethan didn’t answer at first. He reached out and gently dropped her shop keys into her lap.“I locked up without asking if you left anything inside.”“I didn’t forget anything.”He nodded. “Okay.”They sat in silence. His hands rested on the wheel, fingers drumming softly.Then he spoke again.“Let’s get married.”Lily

Chapter: Chapter 31Chloe had still not met Ethan, she didn’t want to. Lily tried to set up a meeting, but Chloe rejected her each time. Chloe hadn’t forgiven him and didn’t plan to. Chloe: I’m going on a 2 month long trip.Chloe’s message came in just as Lily got home. She settled into her couch and opened the chat interface.Lily: “Where are you going?”Chloe: “The Maldives. Ocean therapy.”Lily: “Okay, have fun.”Chloe: “You have plans with him tonight, right?”Lily: “Yes. Dinner.”Chloe: “If he hurts you, I’ll come back and beat him up.”Lily thought about Ethan’s height and how he towered over her. Then she thought of Chloe, who would pant if she had to climb 2 flights of stairs.Lily: “I’d rather you didn’t.”Chloe: “You’re not even married, and you’re already protecting him. What happened to sisters before husbands?”Lily: “I’m protecting you. You don’t even exercise. How are you going to take on Ethan?”Chloe: “True. Then I’ll pay someone to beat him up.”Lily: “That’s illegal.”Chloe: “The thi

Chapter: Chapter 30Chloe was waiting for her at her apartment.Lily walked in and saw her lounging on the couch. Dressed in a skintight, gold colored, designer dress and her hair tied in a sleek ponytail.“What took you so long?” Chloe asked, looking up from her phone. “I thought you didn’t work on Sundays.”“I went home.” Lily walked into the living area, dropping her bag and key on the coffee table.“Oh, how are uncle and aunty?”Lily poured herself a glass of water from the jug and took her seat on the floor and rested her back on the couch before answering. “They’re fine.”“I should visit sometime. I miss Aunty’s soup.” Lily hesitated. “I saw him too.”Chloe sat up, her voice taking a curious tone. “Him? Him who?”Lily didn’t answer right away.

It was their tradition since college to have a call at least once a month, as long as all three of them were free.They caught up on what everyone had been doing in the past month.Miles was the one to bring it up. “Ethan is back. Did you guys see the group chat?”Chloe’s expression darkened as she slammed her beer can on the table. “Saw. Everyone was tagging us, asking for his location. If I see another @Chloe, I’ll hit someone. Ethan is still the same,” she scoffed, rolling her eyes. “He came back after 5 years and didn’t tell anyone. We found out about his grand return home from someone else, the same way we found out he had left.”Lily didn’t respond. She continued sketching the new floral arrangement, her hands slightly trembling.Chloe noticed her silence. “Lily, you good?”“I’m fine,” she said quickly. “It’s just surprising. I thought he left for good.”She didn’t tell them she had gone to look for him at the restaurant. O
