Beyond the Divorce

When we returned to Lauren's new home, she was instantly stunned by the spacious, bright, and luxurious surroundings. She turned around and hugged us both, choking up with emotion.

"Thank you! I finally have my own home." Her words madesuddenly feel sentimental and teary-eyed.

I patted her back gently and said, "You can be at ease now. This is your world. You don't need to think about anyone else while you're here. We'll both support you, no matter what decision you make." That night, Ivanna and I stayed by Lauren's side. We had a heartfelt conversation in that comfortable environment.

We talked until dawn.

In the morning, I watched them sleep peacefully, then sighed quietly and left. I needed to go to the hospital to see Trinity.

My heart hurt when I saw Trinity. In just a few days, she had lost a lot of weight. Her eyes looked like they were bulging out of their sockets, and she seemed as though she had transformed into a different person.

The lack of makeup revealed her true appearance. She looked unexpectedly beautiful, and I really liked the girl in front of me. She didn't seem surprised to seewhen I entered.

I lifted the soup in my hand, feeling a little awkward. "Do you want ssoup? I made it especially for you. How are you feeling?" I walked to the side of her bed. There was only one nurse in the ward. When she sawenter, she quietly closed the door and left. "Where's Mr. Jared?" I asked.

"He needed to go deal with something," Trinity replied calmly. She kept looking at me.

"Lauren just cback yesterday. She's been away for a long time, so that's why I didn't csee you last night. I'm sorry about that." I felt the need to explain why I hadn't been here.

"Are you disappointed that I'm still alive?" Trinity stared at me.

"Where's your conscience?" I immediately retorted. "If I wanted you to die, I wouldn't have saved you." She suddenly smiled, adding a little charm to her look. She wasn't as cold as she usually was today. It seemed that a sick Trinity was more genuine and endearing.

Right now, she seemed more human than her previous demonic presence.

"Are you really my only friend?" she asked suddenly. "I can't believe it. You seem pretty domineering. Why are you my only friend?" Her question caughtoff guard, and I chuckled awkwardly.

"Did you really hear what I said?" I asked. I had spoken those words when her life was hanging in the balance.

"What? Do you regret it?" She had clearly seen my discomfort and was teasing me.

"Just say whatever it is you want to say," I said indignantly.

She smirked, revealing her mischievous side. "Are you saying that no matter when, no matter where, you'll always be there foras a friend?" This tshe looked atwith a serious expression, as if she was particularly concerned about the term "friend" and wanted a genuine confession from me.

"What do you think? I'm not the type to say something and take it back. I'm a person of my word," I said with all seriousness.

She paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter. She looked even more beautiful.

I looked at her, puzzled. "Why don't you have any friends?" She stared at me, thinking for a atime, moment. "My family, my business, the environment I'm in-none of them allowto have friends. And no one really wants to be genuine friends with me. They just want to use me" Trinity looked atearnestly.

SV "Can I be your friend then?" I heard a sense of urgency in my own words. I didn't know whether she really wantedas a friend. "I definitely don't have any ulterior motives, and I don't need anything from you I just want your friendship." "You promisedthat, didn't you? You said you would be my only friend," she said decisively. "That was something I longed for. If you hadn't said that, I wouldn't have cback." "Why would you say that?" I was genuinely moved.

"What you said temptedtoo much," she said, laughing brightly.
