Chapter 37
She had called Colin later.
Colin had come very quickly, terrified to see her pale face, and had been about to immediately send her
to the hospital.
She had said, “I just came out of the hospital.” “What was wrong with you? What was wrong?” Colin
had been very anxious, bending over and standing outside her car door. Her face had turned pale.
While Jolene had been waiting for Colin to come, she had been thinking about how to tell Colin.
Of course, she had been telling the truth.
Of course, this kind of thing between a man and a woman had been the fairest thing between you and
me, knowing yourself and your enemy.
She had been able to see that Colin had liked her, so she had had to tell others what he had wanted.
So, she had leaned on the back of the chair and had weakly but word by word told him, “I just had an
abortion in the hospital.”
Colin had been stunned.
She had seen the worry condensed in his eyes as if frozen in a blizzard.
His reaction had been within her expectations.

She had smiled shallowly, “Honestly, the child belonged to my former boss Bowen. I had tried to hide
my relationship with him, but I hadn’t expected that I was pregnant.”
After she had finished speaking, she had quietly waited for Colin’s response reaction.
He could have flown into a rage or turned around and walked away.
But nothing. After a short moment of astonishment, he had asked, his voice a little tense, “Why did you
tell me?” .”
“I couldn’t hide it.” She had said leisurely, “You would have found out sooner or later. You might as well
have found out from me.”
She had pursed her lips, and her mouth had been dry and thirsty.
He had been looking for her thermos in the car, and Colin had given it to her.
She had said thank you and had taken a sip from the lid.
The water yesterday had been really cool.
“Colin, you knew Bowen, I knew this kind of relationship would make you uncomfortable. You could
have gone!” She had put down her cup and had wanted to move from the back seat to the cab.
Colin had suddenly grabbed her, opened the door, and had sat in the cab.
No
He had started the car and had driven towards Jolene’s house.
It had to be said that Colin had still been a very personable
man.
Not only had he sent Jolene Marsh home, but he had also carried her upstairs.
The uncle downstairs in the building had been startled when he had seen a man carrying Jolene Marsh
in.
Bowen used to come and go to her house often.
He had thought that Bowen had been Jolene’s boyfriend, but when he had seen another man carrying
Jolene in, he had come up and asked a question.
“Miss Jolene, what was wrong with you? This…”
“It’s okay, my friend,” Jolene had explained casually.
I hadn’t said it was a boyfriend. Maybe it wouldn’t have been after a while.
Colin had carried her into her house and had put her on the bed.
Fortunately, Frank had gone out. Otherwise, he would have had to ask questions again.
Jolene had been lying on the bed. Colin had poured hot water for her and had twisted a hot towel to

He had even gone to the kitchen to cook a pot of chicken
porridge.
After finishing his work, he had stood at the bedroom door, looking at her from a distance.
Jolene had thanked him, “Thank you, Colin Barcy, goodbye.”
But he had stood still, “Your tone, it seemed that you didn’t plan to see me again.”
Jolene Marsh had smiled, “Not really. I think you should have never wanted to see me again.”
“I wanted to ask you a question.”
“Yeah,” Jolene had replied.
“Did you love Bowen Evert?”
That had been a good question.
The little dimple on the corner of her smiling lips had been clear, “The relationship between Bowen and
me hadn’t been about affection.”
Colin’s lips had parted, and there had been something he had wanted to say, but he hadn’t said it.
Jolene had said for him, “Yes, our relationship had been about money. I didn’t think many women could
have stopped a man like Bowen, right? But I knew myself, so I didn’t think about anything else when I
was with Bowen, making money only.”
After she had finished speaking, she had taken a breath and had asked him,
“Are you disappointed in me?”
