Chapter - 83

Upon arriving at Silverwing Hospital, Douglas could be seen lying on one of the beds in the ward, covered in wounds and bruises. There was a cast on his right leg as well and he looked miserable. Charlie couldn’t help but sympathize. This fully grown man had been cheated on, had his heart broken and was now covered in wounds.

At the sight of Charlie’s arrival, Douglas’s swollen eyes began to tear up, tears flowing down his cheeks like a river stream.

“Charlie…” Douglas broke down crying.

Charlie approached him slowly and said softly, “It’s okay, she’s just a bitch, she’s not worth it.”

Douglas continued, “I pursued her for three years, basically throwing my dignity into the dumpster for her! I feel like a lowly dog trying to latch on to everything I could, but now, I realize that I’ve never had anything in the first place…”

Douglas seemed to be choking on his tears. “That bitch didn’t just break up with me, she wanted me to lose absolutely everything! I’ve spent every penny I’ve earned over the past few years, even using up all my savings of one hundred thousand in that restaurant, yet now, she’s refusing to pay me back! I was so blinded, how could I have possibly fallen for such a wicked woman!”

Charlie comforted him. “Douglas, as a man, you have to know how to let go. You can just start over! What about the painting I gave you? It is worth at least 200 thousand dollars, that would be sufficient for you to start a small business.”
