For her child and parents' sake, Joyce was aware that she had no choice but to run away.

“Good. Since you've already decided, you must see it through. I'll contact Shane, and he'll arrange for you and your

parents to leave. You can inform Mr. and Mrs. Rivers first,” promised Natalie with a nod.

“Okay,” responded Joyce.

“Get some rest and remember to protect yourself,” reminded Natalie.

Joyce took a deep breath before promising, “I will.”

“Good. I'm going to hang up now. Talk to you tomorrow.” With that, Natalie ended the phone call.

“She agreed to leave?” inquired Lina, supporting her head with one arm.

“Yes,” answered Natalie with a nod.

To that, Lina sighed. “That couldn't have been easy.”

Since she had inched close enough to Natalie's phone, Lina had heard everything Joyce just said.

Before that, she was upset with Joyce because of the woman's indecisiveness.

Lina could not understand why Joyce would hesitate about leaving a man who obviously hated her.

Seeing how badly Joyce was blinded by love, Lina could not help pitying the woman.

“I'm sure it wasn't,” responded Natalie while rubbing her temples.

Pouting, Lina voiced, “She's just a hopeless romantic, isn't she? How can anyone love another so much that they're

willing to sacrifice their dignity? If I were her, I'd have dumped Stanley long ago.”

Natalie chuckled when she heard Lina. “That's why you're not Joyce. Everybody has their own unique personality.

She might be a hopeless romantic, but I can understand why she had trouble letting go of Stanley. I believe her

relationship with the man has more to do with obsession than love.”

Joyce was obsessed with Stanley, so under normal circumstances, she would probably never get over the man.

To Joyce, loving Stanley had already become a part of her.

“All right, enough about Joyce. Now that she's finally made up her mind, the rest is up to her. If she doesn't sort this

out, not only her but also her child and parents will suffer for it,” stated Lina.

“You're right, so let's hope Joyce understands her situation.” Natalie nodded in agreement.

After that, the two remained silent until they reached the villa.

The next day, Shane sent someone to the hospital to meet Joyce.

In order to sneak past Stanley, Shane's man even dressed up as a doctor to gain access to Joyce's room.

After introducing himself to Joyce, the man handed her a nurse's uniform so that she could disguise herself as well.

The man waited until Joyce had finished changing into the uniform before he led her out of the ward and into the

elevator.

“Did Mr. Thompson mention anything about my parents?” inquired Joyce as she placed her hand on her chest,

trying to calm her racing heart.

“Don't worry, Ms. Rivers. Your parents have already boarded a plane with Mr. Thompson's men and left Baycoast.”

“So soon?”

“Yes,” answered the man, nodding. “Stanley didn't have anyone watching them, only you, so it was quite easy to

sneak them away.”

Joyce let out a sigh of relief when she heard that. “Good. Where does Mr. Thompson intend to sneak us off to,

though?”

“A remote town in Astoria. The place's economy is sustained mainly by agriculture and is the most suitable place for

retirement because of how simple life is there. Mr. Thompson's already arranged a villa and a farm for you, which

should be enough for you and your family to get by,” explained the man.

Joyce nodded appreciatively to that. “That sounds great! Please tell Mr. Thompson and Nat that I'll reach out to

thank them when I've settled down.”

“Of course,” promised the man.

After walking out of the elevator, the man led Joyce to the underground parking lot, where she suddenly froze in

place because she saw someone. “It's Stanley...”
