Cindy: Can you both leave? I wanna talk with him alone.
Alex felt dejected, 'he is your husband after all..', and walked out.
Melissa: you two take your time.
Melissa closed the door behind her and walked to Alex.
Melissa: Are you alright?
Alex took a heavy sigh and replied, "yeah.."
Melissa: you don't seem like.
Alex: I'll be ok..
They stood there on the hospital aisle quietly.
Melissa got tired of this awkward silence so she spoke up.
Melissa: Why did you cheat on her?
Alex was used to this question for which he didn't react much.
Alex: I don't wanna talk about it.
Melissa: You've hurt my bestfriend, you-
Alex: I've hurt the love of my life.
Melissa looked at Alex in surprise, Alex smiled at her.
Alex: Some words are better left unsaid. It's for the best.
Melissa: But can't you see you're hurting her?
Alex: I died every night for the last 8 years and I'm still dying every night. She is happy with her new family Melly.
Melissa couldn't understand much what he meant, while she was trying to understand his words Alex spoke again.
Alex: I'm gonna leave now, you two can have my car.
Melissa was lost in thought as he walked away.
Melissa: huh..

Carla smiled and served mushroom to Owen.
Carla: Grandma's gonna treat you both more.. now that I'm here.

Meanwhile in the hospital room, Cindy tried to talk it out with Matthew but he didn't wanna listen.
Cindy: look I know it's hard on you but come on!! I don't want to be with anyone anymore!!
Matthew: I don't wanna hear anything.
Cindy: THEN STOP POUTING LIKE THAT!
Matthew: Can't help it, my love loves someone else... my life is officially over.
Cindy: Oh shut up, you're just 23. You got your own company to manage.
Matthew: So what.. I don't have any love.
Cindy: you're such a drama queen.
Matthew: hehe
Cindy sat there quietly, Matthew held onto her hand.
Matthew: Even if you can't love me, I'll always be here... I know I acted so childish but I was stressed...
Cindy: It's alright..
Matthew: Now stop giving me silent treatment will you?
Cindy: Alright.
Matthew: Alex is quite good-looking no wonder why you like him.
Cindy: Shut up, I don't anymore. It's over.
Matthew: Are you over with it though?
Cindy: what?
Matthew: Nooothing. He is not handsome as me though.
Matthew winked and Cindy burst into a laugh.
Matthew: what you think he is more attractive!? You still like him!
Cindy: I DON'T! STOP SAYING THAT!
They both smiled brightly. Melissa peeked at them from outside and smiled, 'Hope you get all the happiness you deserve..'
