Goodbye, My Love

She soon realized that he had truly left.

How could he?

It was so unlike him. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Marco was always concerned about her health. Whenever she fell sick or got injured, he made sure to stay by her side even if she annoyed him.

He also forgave her every single time.

Why did he behave otherwise this time?

This was the first time Keely’s trick failed to work on Marco. She was flustered now.

Did Marco go to meet Loraine?

Jealousy swelled in Keely’s heart as she thought of this possibility.

She balled her hands into fists under the quilt. Unconsciously, her eyes showed a trace of resentment.

Jimmie saw everything and sneered inwardly.

With a blank expression, he asked, “Now that you have had surgery, do you still feel unwell?”

Keely was surprised when she saw Jimmie’s inquiring eyes. She quickly suppressed her emotions and resumed her pitiful pretense.

“Well, I feel fine… But I haven’t recovered yet. I know that I caused a misunderstanding between Marco and Loraine. I regret it. Once I recover fully, I will explain things to Loraine. It turned out that she’s a

member of the Torres family. I don’t want Marco to be blamed because of me. Please don’t tell Marco about this so he won’t be worried.”

Keely coughed as if she was indeed very sick.

Unfortunately, her acting wasn’t good enough to fool Jimmie and Slater.

They had found out the truth, so they knew she was just pretending.

At this time, Slater couldn’t stand her disgusting pretense anymore.

“Cut it out, Keely! You make me sick! Your secret has been revealed. We now know that there’s nothing wrong with your heart. You have been bribing doctors to make fake diagnoses to foster your facade. We know that you only went into the 0.R. to receive anesthesia and then sleep for two hours!”

Slater felt much better once he spewed those words in one breath.

He used to feel sorry for Keely. Just because he felt that she was being maltreated, he once quarreled with Marco and even got beat up by his father.

Now that he thought about the past, he beat himself up for being such a fool.

“What are you talking about, Slater? I don’t understand you.”
