Sweet Divorce

Snapped out of muse, Rita looked confused. “What are you doing here?”

Why is he here?

The astonishment in her tone somehow rendered Liam in bitterness.

She doesn’t want to meet me, he thought.

Let her go, give her the freedom that she wants, he once thought. But that decision lasted no longer than just a few days.

That’s why he came here today, to have a pretext to see her.

But he could only hide all the feeling he felt for her deep in his heart no matter how he pined for her.

His expression was customarily cold. “To visit Mr. Brown.”

“Oh…”Rita replied curtly and made way for him.

“How do you feel, Mr. Brown?” Liam walked to Noah’s bed and piled the supplement he bought down on the floor. Gently, he asked. “The doctor said that you mean to check out? But you are not fully recovered yet.”

Though he and Rita had divorced, Liam still treated Noah the same.

More or less, that moved Noah. He talked to Liam casually. “I have been here for over a month. It’s boredom that I suffer now, not pain.”

“But…”

“Don’t worry, Liam. Noah’s much better now. He’s out of any danger, big or small.”

Zoe said, intending to console Liam.

Liam stopped persuading Noah since they both insisted going home.

“I’ll go see why Ted hasn’t come yet.”Rita announced as she tried to leave the ward.

But Zoe halted her when she had just taken one step. “Don’t. He must be stuck in a traffic jam now. It’s going to take him some take to get here.”

“Well, then…”

“Maybe Liam can give us a ride?”

Zoe finished. Her suggestion stunned Rita.
