Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 353

The elevator doors quickly slid shut.

Janina figured Marjorie was either here for her own check-up or accompanying Abigail. People didn't come to the hospital unless something was wrong.

She didn't give it much more thought. Even if they had run into each other face-to-face, she wouldn't have said hello. The two families were at a point where they had completely cut ties.

What Janina didn't know was that Marjorie was facing a life-or-death crisis.

Holding the report, she walked like a ghost toward the hospital exit.

It had been over a month since she'd broken up with Clark. She had thought it was the start of a new life, but it turned out to be the beginning of her descent into hell.

Recently, she had decided to start going on arranged dates. She wasn't getting any younger, and she figured she could still be picky while she was still young.

She'd spent the last few days meeting potential partners.

However, the men she met were all several years older than her, some by as much as a decade or two. The ones who were her age and good-looking weren't financially stable. The ones who were well-off were either unattractive or much older.

After days of wrestling with her options, she decided to choose a man with financial stability.

A few days ago, she'd met a man eight years her senior. He was divorced with no children and owned three factories—his circumstances were excellent.

Swayed by the steady confidence and financial security that came with a mature man, she decided to compromise.

There was a mutual attraction, and Marjorie felt this was someone she could build a connection with. They could start by getting to know each other.

That night, they had dinner and became engrossed in conversation. It got late, so they found a hotel.

They were both adults. What happened next was inevitable. One thing led to another; it was consensual.

It was the first time she had been with another man since leaving Clark.

After their passionate encounter, she fell asleep in the arms of a stranger, unaware that fate had already carved a scar into her life at some point.

Marjorie had been thinking her happy life was just around the corner.
