Joyce opened her mouth.
"W-What do I think of him?"
"Yes, Are you planning to accept Justin, or..." NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
"No.I cannot accept his feelings,"
Joyce exclaimed.
"I don't love him.”
"Joyce, I know you don't love him.Stanley is the man you love, but you know how he is.The both of you will never end up together.As your best friend, I don't want to see you wallow in sorrow.I want you to be happy, so I hope you will turn your attention away from Stanley and look at the people around you.There are lots of other men out there worthy of your love"
Natalie patted her shoulder.
"Joyce, you have to understand, it's been a mistake from the start for the two of you.Stanley's never going to come around no matter how long you wait for him.He shouldn't be the only one in your eyes.Think about your parents.They wouldn't want to see you in so much pain because of Stanley.They hoped for you to find happiness in someone else's arms.I know you don't love Justin, but why don't you give him a chance and try to love him?"
"Try to love him?"
Joyce lowered her gaze.
Natalie nodded.
"Yes.Who knows? He might be the one for you.Didn't they all say it's better to get together with someone who loves you rather than someone you love? So Joyce, try stepping out of your comfort zone and give him a chance."
Joyce's eyes dimmed as she shook her head.
"No.That's not possible.I can't try to love someone new nor start a new relationship with someone else anymore."
"Why not?" Natalie frowned.
"Joyce, why are you being so adamant? You know that Stanley is..."
"It's not that, Nat."
Joyce smiled bitterly.
"It's not because of Stanley that I can't fall in love with someone new.It's just because I don't have the time and effort to do so anymore."
"What do you mean?"
Natalie's heart skipped a beat upon her words.She didn't know why but she had a bad feeling about it.
Joyce smiled and stood up.
"It's nothing.You'll know soon enough.Okay Nat, I really have to go now."
With that, she turned around and headed for the door.
However, Joyce's head began to spin after taking a few steps.She paused in her step and blacked out in the next moment.
Natalie was shocked upon seeing that.
"Joyce!"
She jumped up from her seat and rushed over to catch Joyce.
Natalie managed to catch her before she fell to the ground.
Joyce opened her eyes.She saw the worried look on Natalie's face and smiled.
"Thank you, Nat."
She pulled herself up with Natalie's help.
Natalie pursed her lips and stared at her.
"Joyce, what happened to you just now? You scared me out of my wits."
"I'm fine.Probably anemic.It has been happening to me from time to time these two days.My stomach even feels funny these days."
Joyce rubbed her belly as she spoke.
Natalie narrowed her eyes.
"Anemic? Your stomach feels funny? Are you sick?"
She recalled what Joyce had said just now about lacking the time and effort to start a new relationship and couldn't help but wonder if she had fallen ill.
Nevertheless, Joyce shook her head.
"No."
"This won't do.You need to see the doctor."
With that, Natalie grabbed her hand, wanting to take her to the hospital.
Joyce pulled away.
"No need for that, Nat.I'll go to the hospital myself.You don't need to come with me.Don't you have a plane to catch? Go on.Traffic is going to be heavy if you don't leave now."
"On your own?"
Natalie stared at her.She didn't believe Joyce would go to the doctor on her own.
Joyce smiled as she knew what was going through Natalie's mind.
"Don't worry, Nat.I will go to the hospital this afternoon.You can text me in the afternoon if you don't believe me.I'll send you my medical report then, okay?"
