Love Coming from the Least Expected

Love Coming from the Least Expected Chapter 24
I quickly replied, saying I was fine, and I had been
discharged from the hospital.
However, my fingers lingered on the keyboard as I
hesitated to end this once and for all. In the end, I
decided not to as I could not bring myself to hit the
―sendǁ button. That‘s just who I am. Because I‘ve lost so
much, I don‘t want to lose anything else anymore. I
yearn for warmth and love, even if I myself find it hard to
give love.
When I arrived at the clubhouse, I received a call from
Sabrina. She was my only best friend who wouldn‘t
hesitate to speak of her feelings. ―Hey, I know you‘re
married and living a happy life. But, it doesn‘t mean you
should be cooped up in your lovey-dovey nest all day.
You should really meet up with us sometime. It‘s not like
your love would disappear the moment you step out of
the house, right?ǁ she teased.
I let out a bitter laugh and thought to myself. It‘s been
two years since we got married, and I realized I had lost
a huge part of me. No wonder Sabrina always complains.
I used to think that those were really sweet moments,
but all that‘s left was sadness. I can‘t believe my life has
become like this – a world that‘s filled with Lyle and only
him!
―I‘m sorry. I got caught up with something. But I‘ll be
available later. What‘s up?ǁ
―It‘s just a small gathering with our friends at 301
clubhouse. You must attend, or I won‘t be friends with
you anymore,ǁ Sabrina said in a childish manner.
I agreed to come as I was at the same place. The

meeting went well, and Mary noticed that I lost weight.
Hence, she asked if I was doing okay. I smiled lightly and
told her I was discharged from the hospital a while ago.
She complained that I wasn‘t taking good care of myself
and that she would have brought the contract to the
hospital if she knew I was unwell. Furthermore, she also
asked about Lyle. However, I merely smiled at her. How
am I supposed to tell my business partner that my
husband cheated on me and was the cause of my
miscarriage? Besides, my husband was not the father to
my baby.
Once the meeting was over, I walked toward the private
room according to Sabrina‘s description and knocked. I
immediately regretted it as soon as I entered the room.
Because, in that room, were Sabrina and a bunch of
familiar faces as well as Benjamin. He was Lyle‘s best
friend who always looked down on me. In fact, that
b*stard would take every chance to find fault with me.
The reason behind his attitude towards me was because I
rejected him in public when he confessed to me in the
past. I guess he felt pretty humiliated, and everything
changed after that. Sure enough, he made me drink
three glasses of whiskey the moment I stepped into the
room. He even said I would be deemed rude if I rejected
it. At that, the crowd began to cheer, and I glanced at
him lightly. He glanced back in return, his eyes filled with
disdain and provocation. It was obvious that he had bad
intentions toward me, and he did not even bother to hide
it.
It wouldn‘t make sense if Benjamin didn‘t know that I
was hospitalized. Though Christopher and Lyle were best
friends, Lyle and Benjamin were like brothers.

―Eve, what are you still waiting for? Drink up! We all
know you drink like a fish, so three glasses of whiskey
would be a piece of cake, right?ǁ Sabrina urged.
It used to be true. However, I wouldn‘t risk my health
like that right now. ―I was just discharged from the
hospital due to a miscarriage. Are you seriously going to
force me to drink all these? Do you still have any
conscience left in you?ǁ
―What? A miscarriage? What happened, Eve? Why were
you so careless?ǁ Sabrina looked at me, dumbfounded.
―What a shame. Well, who knows who the father is.
Perhaps she messed around with someone else, and
something bad happened.ǁ Benjamin snorted.
I could feel countless eyes staring at me as I replied, ―I
met a madman who wasn‘t looking at where he was
going and fell. Don‘t worry. Although I can‘t drink, we
can still do something else.ǁ
The door of the private room was pushed open as I said
those words. It was Lyle who walked in. I frowned at the
sight of him as a bad feeling crept into my heart. Lyle did
not notice us as he said excitedly, ―Everyone, look who‘s
here today!ǁ
The crowd saw the mysterious person and began
whispering among themselves. Who was this mysterious
person that got Lyle so excited? I thought as I took a sip
of my water. Then, I heard the sound of high heels
clicking against the tiles.
I initially thought it was Bianca. Yet, I was proven wrong
when I looked closely at the woman who was wearing a
white dress and a sweet smile. It was none other than
Crystal. I was taken back as the cup in my hand slipped

and fell onto the ground with a loud clang.
She‘s back, and at this time too? Why?
