Chapter 165

Jenny overheard Trystan's cursing at Bethany. She shook her head sympathetically, determined not to embarrass her friend, so she stepped out to get hot water. Bethany saw Jenny leave and explained softly, "I was sick yesterday. I'm sorry." Her body had not fully recovered, so her voice sounded particularly weak at the moment. "What is this disease?" Trystan's anger appeared to be less intense. Bethany unconsciously placed her hand on her belly once more. "It's not something serious. Once I recover, we can reschedule our divorce proceedings." "Are you trying to trick me again?" "Absolutely not," Bethany wanted to explain but stopped as she saw Frank approaching. He took the phone from her. As he walked out, he continued to talk on the phone, "She's indeed sick. I can confirm it." When Trystan heard the voice, he was stunned. He wondered if the voice belonged to Frank. Frank continued, "I'm in the hospital. Would you like to visit her?" "Frank?" Trystan called out hesitantly.
