Scarlett's POV:

Icey's suggestion sparked a glimmer of hope in my heart.

If I refused to take care of myself properly, it would only give Charles a reason to keep me in the hospital, leaving me no chance to object.

"Thanks for telling me that, Icey. Now I know what to do," I replied with a smile.

"Look, Scarlett, I know you have ideas in mind, but you need to keep in mind that Charles is not a man to be trifled with. You'll have a hard time going up against him. But always remember that you must follow your heart, and you must figure out what exactly it is you want to do." Icey smiled back at me, patting the back of my hand.

I was lost in thought.

'I want to leave this place with my children. And I want to get away from Charles, and live a peaceful life.

But I know that Charles and his family would never allow me to take me kids away.'

When I thought of my kids, I closed my eyes, feeling sad and defeated.

Icey and I chatted for a while, before she finally stood up and was about to leave.

"Scarlett, I have a meeting to attend later, so I have to go now. Get some good rest, okay? And if you ever want someone to talk to, just call me anytime." Icey smiled at me once more, and told me not to let my emotions get the best of me.

I said goodbye to her, and thanked her one last time. After speaking to her, I felt so much better.

Once Icey was gone, it occurred to me that I hadn't seen my phone during these past few days. Needless to say, Charles must've taken it away.

The thought of being locked up in this ward by that man and being deprived of the right to make phone calls annoyed me.

'I can't understand why Charles has to do such a thing! Isn't he satisfied with what he did to me?'

About half an hour later, I heard a knock on the door.

Soon, Charles came in.

He glanced at me before going to the bathroom without even uttering a word.

'What the hell is the matter with him?' I wondered.

Five minutes later, Charles came out of the bathroom. He touched his bruised chin while walking to the bedside.
