Cindy: What do you mean? What did he say to you?
Cindy was afraid Alex already told Matthew about the new issue they were going through.
Matthew: He said You guys are still married and that you aren't his ex-wife.
Cindy's face turned white, she was right about the whole thing.
Matthew: Why are you silent? Is that jerk right?
Cindy: Hmm.
Matthew turned red from anger, "What!?"
Cindy:The divorce was never official, so we are technically married.
Matthew: This must be one of his trick Cindy, you aren't falling for it right?
Cindy: This is the truth Matthew, he isn't playing any trick. I know him very well, he won't ever do any such thing.
Matthew: you knew he won't cheat yet he did.
Cindy was left speechless, she didn't know what else to say.
Cindy: I'll talk to you later.
Cindy hung up the phone and looked out of the window blankly as a drop of tear streamed down her cheek.
Cindy: Why can't things be simple for once...
After reaching the hospital, she quickly paid the bill and rushed inside. She asked the receptionist about Alex's whereabout and then she took Cindy to him. Alex was lying on the hospital bed, a bandage wrapped around his head, contemplating when Cindy entered. He smiled brightly seeing her there but Cindy came forward and raised her hand to slap him but stopped, "What the hell is wrong with you!?"
Alex replied in a confused tone, "What do you mean?"
Cindy: Why on Earth did you tell Matthew all those stuff!?
Alex: Because you're still my wi—
Cindy: NO I AM NOT YOUR WIFE!
Alex fell silent seeing Cindy like this.
Cindy: For 8 years, I lived with the fact we got divorced. I just can't forget those days.
Alex: Cindy...
Cindy: No, I'm gonna talk now and you will listen. We are over! We can't mend this. Plus, I had kids with another man whom I don't even know!
Alex: I don't have any problems—
Cindy: I do! I have problems with that!
Alex replied softly, "Just listen to me...please"
Cindy: What!?
Alex got up from the bed and made her on the couch. He crouched down and held her hands tightly, "Cindy, there's a lot of things I wish I could tell you but I can't. It's not the time yet. I was afraid back then but I'm not anymore. I can fight for both of us and make it right. Just give me one last chance to make it upto you. Give me time till Next Summer. I swear I will make it upto you and tell you everything once the time is right. I don't care if you don't know who Olivia and Owen's father is, I'll help you to find him if it is necessary but please give me one more chance to make it upto you. I swear, I won't ruin it anymore. I...", he paused for a while and took a deep breath, "I still love you Cindy, in this past 8 years I could never love someone because you filled up the space in my heart. I love you so much Cindy, please give me just one more chance".
