“Alright, stop fighting. It's not early anymore,” Joan mumbled while tidying the stuff in the ward.
“Joan, I want to go home.” Out of a sudden, Dustin expressed his thought.
What's going on? Does he really want to leave the hospital? Joan could not wrap her head around it. His sudden sentence also confounded Abelyn while she stared at him with a bizarre look. Did he eat the wrong medicine?
Abelyn ran to the table and start checking the medicines on it.
“I don't like to stay here. Plus, I am a doctor myself, so I'm fully capable of taking care of my wound.”
Alright. It's true that he used to be a doctor. Maybe I should respect his decision.
“No way!” Abelyn shouted abruptly after checking all the medicines.
What's she up to now? Dustin cast Abelyn a cold glance from his bed, anticipating what she was about to say.
“You can't go home. You have to stay here for a few days. If you go home, who is going to take care of you?”
“I have you at home.” Dustin had expected that from Abelyn, and he responded right away.
“No can do. I still need to go dating. Who has the time to look after you?”
It's that bartender again, isn't it? Dustin turned his face away and refused to look at Abelyn anymore. What a foolish woman. I bet she wouldn't even know even if that man sells her out.
“You have not broken up, have you?” Joan asked surprisingly.
What kind of question is that? Abelyn stared at Joan with a rigid look, obviously displeased. Then she lifted her right hand and swore, “I'll be responsible for my own love affair. I'm sure this will have a good outcome eventually!”
Upon hearing that, Dustin covered his head with the blanket, reluctant to talk to that unwise woman anymore.
