81 Love of a Father

That night, Cathy was admitted again to the hospital. She was crying nonstop, the humiliation was so great. How could Clarence be so unkind? Why would he dare to humiliate her in front of the guests?

She stayed in the hospital for three nights and two days. They thought she was slowly recovering. She acted the part well. They didn't know that she was just playing along so that she'll be sent home.

Morning came, she heard Beauty would be having the grand opening of her restaurant tomorrow. She was preparing her alibi to get out of the hospital and go home. She won't allow Clarence to have his way always. Her mind was now full of schemes, her heart was now filled with hatred. She wanted a payback.

"Paul, I want to go home now. Please, I want to recuperate at home. I mean in my own room in my family's hotel. Not here. I'll get sick here all the more."

Seeing her smiles and coaxing, Paul acceded in the end. On their way out, they met Doctor John.
