Miles once offered you to move and look for a new life there, but you refused because you weren't ready to separate from your parents. Even though your parents now hate you, you still can't leave them. Miles has no problem with your decision as long as you never try to see or contact your son and ex-husband.
But you violated that agreement after you started working as a teacher and your son attended the same school as you. When you see the latest news from your child, you increasingly feel like you don't want to be away from Hayness. You were grateful that you could divorce Luke, but on the other hand you also wanted to take Hayness into your house and take care of him—but you couldn't because Miles wouldn't allow it.
Miles felt your attitude change, you became a little avoidant from him, you repeatedly refused invitations to go on holiday—you even felt hesitant when Miles asked you to touch him. Finally Miles decided to follow you, he knew that you were still in touch with your past. Miles felt disappointed and angry, he chose to silence you for a moment.
Two weeks had passed, your relationship with Miles still felt tense and unfamiliar. Tonight you are having dinner with your husband, there is absolutely no conversation, only the sound of clinking cutlery, you actually feel anxious and guilty. Suddenly your cell phone rings, showing a notification from someone.
He is the doctor who treated your husband, Miles, suffering from kidney failure because while he was still healthy, his life depended on drugs and alcohol. You read as you chewed your food, the doctor told you that Miles had missed dialysis twice.
You immediately gave your cell phone to Miles, asking him to read the latest messages from your cell phone. Miles glanced, he put down his cutlery and looked at you coldly.
“I will continue to miss dialysis appointments if you don't want to stop seeing your son.”
