The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)

Ayla left the ward and dragged her exhausted body into the hospital garden.She really could not figure out how things turned out like this.She then sat on a bench and gazed at people who came and went.

There were also pregnant women who passed by in front of her with their bulged belly.

‘What the hell did I do wrong this time? Why does nothing good ever come out of everything I've done?’ she mused.All of a sudden, two familiar figures came into her sight —Toby and Molly.

She wanted to walk over to them and say "hello" but decided not to.

A memory of what had happened to Haley suddenly crossed her mind, so she immediately stood up and hid behind a big tree.

Careful not to be seen, she watched as Toby helped Molly walk into the building.It was not until they walked in that Ayla came out from behind the tree.

Not long after, she left the hospital and hailed a cab.

"Clark Group building, please," she said to the taxi driver.

"Okay," the driver responded with a nod.

"No, wait. Go to the HM Garden instead,"

Ayla hurriedly said as she changed her mind.She figured that it was not right to go to the company like this, so she had better go back to Brian's apartment first.

Once she arrived at the door of the apartment, she took out the key from her purse and opened the door.

She was expecting that the apartment was empty.

However, the instant she opened the door, she smelled a strong stench of tobacco, making her choke and cough uncontrollably.

She turned to look at the sofa and saw that Brian was there, smoking.

‘What is he doing here?’ she wondered in disbelief.Something suddenly occurred to her.

At the thought of it, she smoothed her hair and pulled it down to cover her left cheek that was bruised and swollen, hoping that he would not notice it.
