Chapter 1113
[ 524 words ]
When Tegan grabbed food for Finley, she brought a sandwich for Miriam too.
Miriam almost cried from gratitude. “Tegan, you’re an absolute angel. You’re a million times better than that cold-hearted Leslie.”
“How is Uriah so blind? Why can’t he see…”
“Shh,” Tegan shushed her.
Before Miriam could finish, Tegan gestured for her to keep her voice down.
Miriam looked confused.
“Uriah is in the third room down the hall!” Tegan whispered.
If his door was open, he probably would have heard every word Miriam just said!
Or if she had just been a little louder.
Miriam gasped.
You’ve got to be kidding me. What are the odds?
Sure, talking behind people’s backs wasn’t great, but when it came to Uriah, she really didn’t care.
A second later, Miriam scoffed. “Let him hear. If he hears me, I’ll just curse him out to his face.”
She pouted, looking incredibly wronged.
Like she said, she had already quit. She couldn’t actually do anything to Uriah, but couldn’t she at least vent?
*Buzz, buzz.* Tegan’s phone rang again. It was Finley.
Tegan answered. “Prof. Yoder.”
“I’m starving.”
Tegan glanced at the takeout bag in her hand. “Be right there.”
Hanging up, Tegan looked at Miriam. “Will you be alright by yourself?”
“I’ll be fine. It’s just a fever. Nothing else hurts.”
Even though she had collapsed at the airport and been carried in, she didn’t feel any physical pain.
Just the lingering weakness from her high temperature.
Tegan nodded. “Alright, I’m heading out.”
“Tegan,” Miriam called out.
“Yeah?”
“Can you come see me later?”
Tegan paused.
“I don’t know anyone else here,” Miriam added.
Thinking about it, Miriam really was in a pitiful state. Her wedding had blown up, and
she couldn’t even fly home.
“Sure, I’ll drop by when I’m done.”
“Thank you.”
Hearing Tegan agree made Miriam feel a little better, though an empty ache still hollowed out her chest.
She hadn’t called Gideon.
The photos Harper had sent her made it painfully clear what had happened last night.
She and Gideon were done.
At the thought, tears began to stream down Miriam’s face the moment Tegan turned away.
He was her childhood sweetheart.
She and Gideon had grown up
together
in the orphanage until they
were fourteen. That was the year the
Gill’s family finally found him.
He was taken away, but they never lost touch.
Later, she and Harper worked relentlessly to earn money,
eventually allowing som to attend
the same school as Gideon.
At school, they had been inseparable.
A muffled sob tore from Miriam’s throat. When Harper called, she could hear her crying.
Harper’s voice was stern. “What are you crying for? Pull yourself together. He’s just a cheating bastard.”
“He was my childhood sweetheart. My first love.”
Harper fell silent.
Ugh…
That made the betrayal sting deeper than a normal affair.
If Miriam didn’t have that kind of history with Gideon, a girl with her fiery personality
would never shed a tear.
Thinking of all their years
together a bond forged from
childhood-gave Harper a he
She worried Miriam wouldn’t be able
to move on.

Harper sighed. “Alright, alright. Your wedding is completely ruined now. I bet
Gideon’s mother had a hand in this.”
Miriam went completely silent.
Hearing about Gideon’s mother froze her.
The woman had always despised her. “So… she arranged the woman last night?”
“More than likely. Do you know who she is?”
In just a short time, Harper had already dug up the whole story.
“Who?” Miriam asked.
“Uriah’s cousin, Quintessa Horner.”
