A wave of disapproval swept through the crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you think you\u2019re doing? Are you trying to assault her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you seriously think that cheating is okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou betrayed your wife for a tramp? You\u2019re going to get what\u2019s coming to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t believe you asked your wife to apologize to your mistress.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe homewrecker doesn\u2019t deserve an apology. She deserves a beating!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once the bystanders had berated Jeffrey, they swiftly turned their attention toward Abigail, who was sitting on the hospital bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLook at her. She looks like such a manipulative woman.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMen fall for that fake innocent act all the time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe even has the audacity to glare at us. That\u2019s right, we\u2019re talking about you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
To make matters worse, even the nurses were giving Abigail disapproving looks. In no time, Jeffrey and Abigail had become the target of public scorn. After all, no one could tolerate a cheating jerk and his manipulative mistress.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, young lady. We\u2019re all on your side,\u201d the woman who was standing next to Natalie suddenly declared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, ma\u2019am.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no need to thank me. There\u2019s nothing I hate more than a man who cheats on his wife.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jeffrey\u2019s gaze swept through the crowd before it landed squarely on Natalie. Natalie met his gaze with a taunting look before she flashed him a small smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just like he wanted, she had apologized to Abigail and told her she was sorry. However, from the very beginning, she had never admitted to drugging Abigail\u2019s drink.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie raised her hand and waved Jeffrey goodbye. She mouthed the word \u201cbye\u201d to him as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was going to take her leave now. She turned around in one swift motion and left without glancing back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey stared at her retreating figure. He tried to go after her, but the crowd around him made it hard for him to move. He was completely stuck.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are you trying to do now? Don\u2019t you feel guilty at all?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour wife is so much prettier than that mistress of yours. You might want to get your eyes checked out by an ophthalmologist.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the end, Jeffrey had no choice but to watch Natalie walk away. He stepped back into the ward and slammed the door shut. With the door closed, the shouting from the hallway vanished, and the ward finally quieted down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite his newfound peace and quiet, Jeffrey still looked incredibly displeased. He had been played by Natalie once again. She truly had a knack for springing dramatic surprises on him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail lowered her head. \u201cI don\u2019t think I should stay in Caspia City, Jeff. I shouldn\u2019t have returned so soon. Maybe I should just continue to live abroad.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She started pretending to back down to gain the upper hand. She acted as if she wanted to leave. But in reality, she was waiting for Jeffrey to ask her to stay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you told me I could return to the country, I thought that the worst was finally behind me. I had already waited for five years, and I couldn\u2019t bear to wait one more day. So, I rescheduled my flight and returned a day earlier,\u201d she rasped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her hoarse voice only made Jeffrey pity her even more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Afterward, she continued, \u201cWhen I came back, you and Natalie were still in the middle of finalizing your divorce. The fact that you\u2019re still married puts me in an awkward position. I don\u2019t want to be the subject of judgment and ridicule, so I think it\u2019s best if I leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLeave?\u201d Jeffrey exclaimed in a raised voice. \u201cThe one who should be leaving is Natalie!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I really can\u2019t take the harsh scolding anymore\u2026\u201d Abigail cried.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She asked again, \u201cJeff, the person who isn\u2019t loved should be the other woman in the relationship, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou were supposed to become Mrs. Foster five years ago,\u201d he replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie was the one who refused to give up her place, and just like that, five years dragged on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
