On Twitter, an eye- catching title fell into Lucille's eyesight.
It had only been a month since her marriage with Franklin, but there were already scandals between him and two artists.
Lucille was devastated. She could not understand the reason for this. What did she do wrong? Could it be that Franklin just hated marriage, or in fact, he hated her?
However, she had no chance to ask as Franklin never showed up at the house ever since the day of their marriage.
"Your heart is guarded by walls, but I found a window..."
While Lucille was browsing Twitter on her phone, a phone call came in. It was an unknown number.
"Hello." She greeted.
"Hello, I'm calling from the hospital. Are you the wife of Franklin Moore?"
The person on the other side of the phone said.
"Yes, I am." Lucille's heart sank while she said this.
Could it be that Franklin has gotten into an accident?
"Good day, Mrs. Moore. For your information, Mr. Moore fought with someone in a bar. He is now in the Emergency Department of Genuine Hospital. Please bring his ID card over as the police will need to check it."
"Alright, sure!" Lucille immediately agreed.
After hanging up the phone, she rushed to the hospital with her credit card and Franklin's ID card.
While she was on her way to the hospital, she felt very anxious. Lucille had just graduated from college that year. Before she had the chance to step into society, she had to get married to Franklin according to her family's arrangements. Hence, she felt helpless when she heard that he was in the hospital due to a fight.
When Lucille arrived at the hospital, she saw that Franklin's wound had been bandaged. He was sitting on a chair in the emergency room corridor, next to a model with long legs. The lady was a part of the scandal mentioned on Twitter earlier that day.
Her name was Yvonne Brooks.
It was September, yet Yvonne was wearing revealing clothes. It could be said that Lucille's shirt used more material than Yvonne's whole outfit.
Although Lucille felt a little uneasy in her heart, she still took the ID card and went forward, motioning to Franklin, "Here you go."
Franklin was not surprised when he saw Lucille coming. He just calmly took the ID card and said, "Okay, you can go back now."
"I... I'm not going back," Lucille argued.
She was concerned about the bruises and wounds on Franklin's face and hands, but when she saw Yvonne sitting beside him, she was even more depressed.
Even though their marriage was arranged by their families, it was not her first time seeing him. They had met by chance before.
However, she knew that Franklin could not remember it.
In A City, everyone knew his personality. Thus, no one was willing to marry into the Moore family. However, when the Jules family asked Lucille about getting married to Franklin for the first time, she agreed right away.
