After Yves King left the room holding Maeve, Wendy Quay took a tissue and gently wiped away Faye Owen's tears. Taking her small hands in hers, Wendy chided her softly, "Faye, how could you hide from me and go to the civil affairs bureau to get a divorce?"
Faye Owen lifted her delicate head, her crystal-clear eyes looking at her with a small sense of grievance, and with another wave of sadness in her heart, she said, "What else could I do if I didn't go? Yesterday, last night I heard everything. I can't monopolize Yves King. I can't leave you and Maeve without any support." Her face was tear-streaked, her originally fair and delicate skin turned pale and bloodless. Still dressed in her cold white professional attire, her eyes were turned red from crying, revealing her grief and vulnerability.
Seeing her like this, Wendy Quay felt a mix of heartache and sympathy.
