Semua Bab Love Is Like Flowing Water: Bab 1 - Bab 10

I was about to speak, but Ruby quickly said, “This is all my fault. I shouldn’t have bothered you two. I’m sorry.“Clayton, from now on, don’t concern yourself with me. Just leave me out here to rot.”As soon as she said that, she rushed toward the street and was knocked over by a bicycle.Clayton’s expression instantly shifted. Without a second thought, he shoved me aside and lifted Ruby into his arms.Before I could react, I tumbled down the stairs and fell heavily to the floor.A dull, throbbing pain spread through my lower abdomen. Trembling, I reached down, and I was shocked to see that my hand was covered in blood.“My baby... No, my baby... “Clayton... honey!”I clutched my stomach and called out to Clayton with the last vestiges of my strength. I hoped he would turn back and take me to the hospital.He paused and glanced back. His eyes held only hatred.“Hazel, you know about Ruby’s depression! Why did you provoke her?“If anything happens to her because of this, I’

I took the miscarriage report from my pocket. I placed it together with the other documents with trembling hands. Tears streamed down my cheek, soaking the papers like a final farewell.I took a deep breath and put them into the suitcase. Just then, Clayton’s confused voice sounded from behind me.“What are you doing?”I hurriedly closed the suitcase and wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes. Clayton walked over. His gaze was fixed on the suitcase....“Why are you back?” I stiffly changed the subject.Clayton approached me. He raised his hand and touched the corner of my eye. “Have you been crying?”He stared blankly at the wetness on his fingers, seeming at a loss.I forced a smile and casually explained, “It’s just the mood swings from my pregnancy hormones. I’ll be fine in a moment.”Only then did Clayton sigh in relief.“Oh, good. I forgot to ask if you want to come get the new rosary with me. Do you?“I know it’s really important to you.”I was caught

As she was being provoked by the nurse, Ruby totally lost her composure. She frantically grabbed the fruit knife from the floor and hurled it at the nurse.Clayton, who had just snapped back to reality, saw what she intended to do and immediately shouted.“Stop!”...However, it was already too late.The knife lodged into the corner of the nurse’s eye. Blood started gushing out.“Ahhh!”The nurse screamed when she felt the bloody gash. She pushed the door open and called for help.“Somebody, help! Someone attacked me!”Several doctors and nurses from nearby rushed in. They gasped at the sight of the nurse’s face, which was covered in blood.The wound itself was not large, but it was less than an inch from her eye.“Lily, what happened?”The head nurse questioned her worriedly as she carefully dabbed the wound with a disinfectant swab.Lily had only passed the exams and joined the hospital team this year. She was just in her twenties and still unmarried.Her face was mar

A wave of pain hit Clayton so hard that he stumbled back.‘It was because of me... my baby…’ he thought.His gaze fell upon the rosary. A sudden realization struck him. He charged out of the room like a madman.He needed to go home. Hazel!At that moment, he could no longer care about Ruby.All he could think of doing at the moment was go home, apologize to me, and atone for what he had done.Panic washed over Ruby. It felt as if something had slipped from her control. She hurried to chase after Clayton but was stopped by Ms. Charis.“You’re not going anywhere.”...Ruby’s expression instantly darkened when Ms. Charis blocked her way.“Why not? This is a hospital. Are you trying to illegally detain me now?”Ms. Charis gave a wry smile.“You really are good at making wild accusations. You injured someone, and you think you can just walk away without offering an apology or compensation?“Just so you know, I’ve already called the police. You’ll wait here for them.”Whe

He still wanted to find me and start over properly.He wanted to atone for how badly he had treated me.However, I had told him that I never wanted to see him again.In the past, he thought Ruby’s suicide threats were the most heartbreaking thing he could experience.He finally understood what the most heart-wrenching thing truly was.It was my leaving him.However, it was all too late.The police chief, James, was his former classmate. When James heard why he was at the police station, he quickly explained the situation.Initially, although the hospital had reported the incident, the nurse was not gravely injured. The issue was therefore handled primarily through mediation.The intention was for Ruby to simply apologize and let it go.No one expected Ruby to inexplicably lose her mind. She refused to back down and caused a major disturbance at the hospital.That was why she had been detained overnight.Clayton massaged the muscle between his eyebrows as he tried to suppres
