She Flash-Married To His Rival novel Chapter 3

Moira's hand trembled, and the phone slipped from her grasp, landing on the ground with a loud pop.

Juliet woke up with a start and subconsciously looked to Moira. Seeing Moira wake up, Juliet was excited. "Thank god! Moira, how do you feel now?"

"Jul." Moira looked at Juliet, her voice trembling.

Juliet remembered something had fallen and leaned down to see Moira's phone on the ground.

As she picked it up, she saw the news feed on the lit-up screen and the picture of Alfie holding Claire underneath.

Juliet quivered out of anger. She didn't know if Moira had seen the news, so she hid her anger and acted normal in case Moira hadn't seen it and would feel worse. "I'll ask the doctor to come to take a look at you!"

Moira's eyes swept over the cell phone that Juliet put back on the bedside table. She said nothing, closed her eyes, and gently answered, "Thanks, Jul."

Juliet was still wearing the bridesmaid dress from yesterday. She had been staying by Moira's side since last night and didn't even have the time to change her clothes.

Moira did not want her best friend to worry about her anymore. Besides, it was time for her to come to reality.

So what if she and Alfie were childhood sweethearts for twelve years? With Claire around, she would always be Alfie's second choice. She used to tell herself It was okay as long as Alfie loved her. But now, the tearing pain all over her body was telling her it was not okay. It never was.

If Alfie loved her, how could he leave her behind for Claire again and again? She had had enough.

Moira had a tight grip on the sheets and gritted her teeth, which made the wounds on her body hurt more and more. The pain sobered her up. She was done for it!

Juliet soon came back with the doctor. Aiken brought back breakfast, and when he saw Moira finally wake up, he felt his nerves loosening up after being tense all night.

After the doctor finished examining Moira, Aiken fainted just as he walked out of the ward. Moira heard a noise outside and called out subconsciously, her face turning pale with panic. Juliet pacified her and hurried out.
