Marlinie really didn’t want to discuss anything about that man. It was only for her daughter’s sake that
she had returned to this city, which she once vowed never to step foot in again. This place stirred up
many memories she preferred to forget..
Lea carried a glass of water over, hoping to distract Marlinie from her troubles. “Ms. Marlinie, would you
like some water?”
Marlinie shook her head. “No, thank you. Lea. There is something I need to ask of you.”
Lea put the water down. Her large, earnest eyes were now solely focused on the woman in bed.
“Anything for you, ma’am!”
“I didn’t want to bother your father due to the tension between your parents, but I have no other choice
now. Could you ask your father to get his men to bring Arnold from the Mendoza family to see me? I
hope it’s not too much trouble.”
Lea nodded. “Oh, that’s no trouble at all! I’m planning to settle scores with that mother-daughter duo
anyway. It’s no bother to have their man brought along too.”
Marlinie wanted to tell Lea not to seek revenge on her behalf, but considering the mother-daughter duo
had once bullied her dear Pearl, they deserved some punishment, so she kept silent.

Bertha dragged Thaddeus into the hospital’s stairwell before she began to speak, not wanting to disturb
the other patients.
“What were you thinking?! Why would you say all that in front of Marlinie?! She has been alone for so
many years, and she deserves some sympathy!”
Thaddeus wasn’t really listening. As soon as they were alone, he pulled her into his arms. “You scared
me to death! Thank God you’re not hurt!”
Bertha was taken aback, and her anger quickly dissipated. “What are you doing? We’re too old for
public displays of affection!”
Thaddeus didn’t care. “There’s nobody here! Bertha, come home with me! I can’t stand the thought of
you and Lea living out there on your own!”
Bertha frowned. She was almost ready to give in. “Let go of me first.”
Thaddeus released her. “What do you say, Bertha? Will you come home with me?”
Bertha felt torn. As she looked at the man before her, she realized that she wasn’t ready to part ways.
She and Thaddeus had each been married before they found each other.
Thaddeus was married off in his youth by his family. Though he and his wife had a daughter, their
relationship was distant, and his wife eventually passed away due to a severe illness.
Her ex-husband was a good-for-nothing. He put on a good act before they were married, but after, he
revealed his true colors. He was a man proficient in all sorts of vices.
She had to help her ex-husband pay off his gambling debts time and time again. Each time, he
promised to change, but he never did. After two years of marriage, she filed for divorce. A process that
took another two years to finalize.
After the divorce, she met Thaddeus, who pursued her persistently.
Because of Thaddeus’ bad reputation, Marlinie feared she would make the same mistake again and
was against their relationship, which caused Thaddeus to resent Marlinie.
Perhaps she was a bit naive, but she accepted Thaddeus’ proposal, figuring that if it didn’t work out,
she could always get another divorce. This was how they spent all these years together.
Thaddeus wasn’t as bad as the rumors made him out to be. In their marriage, he was a traditional and
caring man. He always treated her well, never taking her for granted after they got married.
The only source of conflict between them was his eldest daughter, Sophia.
Sophia was the only problem.
“Let’s not talk about this now. I need to stay in the hospital with Marlinie.”
“Didn’t the doctor say she’s out of danger? I can arrange for a nurse to take care of her. You don’t have
to stay here with her.” Thaddeus wasn’t ready to give up.
