Michelle had gotten her hands on Harrison's check-in records with another woman and told Nina in the letter. After thinking for a moment, Nina asked Adela bluntly, "Have you slept with Harrison?"
Color suddenly blossomed on Adela's pale face. She lowered her eyes. How could she answer such an embarrassing question?
"Why should I tell you?" She attempted to sound nonchalant.
"I'll take that as a yes." Nina found it a little too obvious judging from Adela's nonverbal response. Guilt was all over her face like makeup.
Thinking of Harrison's gentle demeanor, Nina could not help feeling disgusted. What refined scum that man was!
Nina had promised Michelle that she would help Emma, so she ordered Adela, "Call Harrison and ask him to take you to the hospital."
"What? Why?" Adela asked. She still did not look at Nina.
"Call him! Call him right now!" Nina bellowed impatiently.
She could not wrap her brain around men. How could they propose marriage to one woman and then date another at the same time? That was just incredibly greedy, not to mention stupid.

Henry could not help smiling as he folded the copy neatly. Nina happened to be looking at him at the moment.
She stopped walking and asked him, "What are you smiling about, Henry? Care to share it with me?"
Henry was usually serious. His smile was as rare as a blue moon.
"Well..." Henry paused for a moment and then asked, "Mrs. Shi, what will you do if you know who your husband is?"
After a brief pause, Nina answered firmly, "I would divorce him."
'Divorce?' Henry thought, a little taken aback.
'No wonder Mr. Shi doesn't want her to know the truth.'
"What if he doesn't want a divorce?" he asked. Of course John would not want a divorce. He was desperate to keep Nina by his side.
Nina smiled humorlessly and said, "There are two options. Either he lets me go peacefully, or I beat him senseless until he agrees to sign the divorce papers."
Henry could not find the right words to say. He was so surprised by Nina's answer that he tripped and almost fell on his face.
