👼 MY ANGEL 👼

That night, she looked at Pikachu differently.

And it just so happened to be an emotional episode. It was the one where Ash uses his body to shield Pikachu from the attacking Pokémon.

Pikachu realizes how much Ash cares for him and uses a powerful electric attack to drive the Spearows away, destroying their bicycle.

But in the process, Pikachu is severely injured. When Pikachu is injured, Elsa feels tears rolling down her face. She starts shaking uncontrollably as she begs for Pikachu to be okay.

Pikachu had shocked every single one of them and had used most of its energy to save Ash from the angry birds. Pikachu should be okay too.

That was a big sacrifice. A sacrifice of love... from both Ash and Pikachu.

The next day, Elsa is preparing to go to work for the first time since she was given some time off after her sister's death.

She works at a supermarket as a cashier, a job she enjoys. It's not what she studied for, though. Actually, she didn't finish college because the funds her mom left her turned out not to be enough.

So, she decided to follow her sister's footsteps and start working. But for her, it was so she could have enough to finish college smoothly.

The money Jenna left her was enough to buy herself an apartment. But now that she is sick, she is no longer sure if there is a reason to go back to school.

Actually, there isn't. It's crazy because she had planned to return to study at 22. But God had other plans for her.

Elsa is anxious as she comes out of her room, hoping Jeremy had left for work.

As she walks downstairs, she is glad not to spot him anywhere. But her gladness shatters when her eyes meet Victoria's.

Victoria is seated in the living room, comfortable on the couch with one leg on top of the other and a creepy smile on her lips. "Have you signed them?" That is her greeting.

Elsa looks around and can't spot Jeremy anywhere. Has he left? Left his girlfriend here?

"Where is Jeremy?" Elsa asks.

"The divorce papers, Elsa. Jeremy asked me to tell you to sign them. Have you done it already? If not, hurry up and sign them. Jeremy is tired of being associated with a hussy like you," Victoria says with a smile, as if her tone is not cold and hostile.

"A hussy... I see. And he wants to divorce me?

'A hussy is a girl who behaves in a disrespectful or inappropriate way. Or who has many casual sexual relationships. Is that what he thinks of me? I mean, he did imply that yesterday,' Elsa thinks to herself.

"Are you deaf? Or just slow?" Victoria rolls her eyes, looking bored. Okay, Elsa is getting tired of the constant insults from everybody.

"He sent you to tell me this instead of him?... Why?" Elsa asks the question that bothers her.

"I am giving you a chance to get out of this forced marriage. Isn't that what you want?" Victoria says, her eyes showing anxiety and paranoia. But why?

Elsa looks at her closely and then observes what she is wearing. Clothes from luxurious brands that would cost an arm and a leg to afford.

Her wedding dress looked worth seven digits the day she met her. That means she comes from a wealthy background to be able to afford such luxury.

Elsa remembers how shocked Victoria was when she first saw her. And how quickly she rubbed it off. She remembers how hostile her mother and she were at her, thinking she was Gwen.

And then, Victoria knowing her true identity and weirdly enough, not saying anything, even while knowing Jeremy married her because of that misunderstanding.

"Was it you?" Elsa asks calmly.
