Married at First Sight

Hank was a different man than he had been a few years ago. At least now, he genuinely loved Sonny. He wasn't just pretending to care.

After everything he'd been through-loss, regret he finally learned what it meant to cherish someone.

But that lesson had come at a steep price.

Hank brought the supplements from his car and handed them to Zachary.

"Thanks for everything you do for Sonny. I'm sorry for the trouble," Hank said gratefully.

Zachary replied calmly, "My sister entrusted him to us. Of course we'll take care of him. Don't worry about Sonny. Just focus on your work. Drive safely and rest

when you need to. Don't overdo it."noveldrama

Hank paid his child support on time.

His earnings now went toward supporting Sonny and paying off the mortgage.

Truthfully, money was tight.

"I will. Thank you, Mr. York."

Zachary nodded and walked away.

Once Zachary was gone, Hank sat in his car for a moment, then drove off-not to

pick up another ride, but to buy some supplies and visit the prison.

It had been a while since he'd visited.

Soon, Jessica was brought into the visiting area.

She froze when she saw Hank, clearly surprised he'd come.

She sat down quietly.

Hank gestured for her to pick up the phone. After a moment, she did.

“Jessica, how are you doing?” he asked gently.

Jessica gave a bitter smile. Her eyes turned red, and tears streamed down her face.

She couldn't speak, just cried silently.

Hank's heart ached. He tried to comfort her. Time was limited, and they needed to talk.

"I brought you some daily necessities and left money for you," he said. "Keep working hard and aim for a reduced sentence. No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you. My income isn't great, but I'm saving a little each month. When you get out, we'll have something to live on. Jessica, I'm sorry. I hurt you. It was all my fault."

Jessica finally managed to calm down and said through tears, "I will. I'm doing my best to reform. You take care of yourself too. It wasn't just your fault-I was wrong too. I was greedy, and I made a terrible mistake."

After a few years in prison, Jessica's bitterness and anger had faded completely. She understood now that what happened wasn't only Hank's fault.

She had known Hank was married with a child, and she still got involved. She had been the "other woman."

After marrying Hank, she grew resentful watching Liberty thrive post-divorce. She couldn't stand his two-faced family. That bitterness grew until she lost control. When she stabbed Hank, she had hoped it would result in a harsher sentence. She wanted to die.

Life had become unbearable.

But Hank forgave her, wrote a letter on her behalf, and she wasn't sentenced to death.

He even promised to wait for her, no matter how long it took.

Her own family hadn't visited once.

They likely didn't even want to talk about her.

In the end, the only person waiting for her on the outside... was still Hank.
