Jonathan cast a brief glance at him and remarked, "Never mind, I'm still accustomed to the comfort of the familiar."
Charlie responded with a meaningful smile, neither confirming nor denying Jonathan's statement.
Carson approached them and extended an invitation for Jonathan and Charlie to join a poker game. Jonathan declined, saying, "You guys go ahead and play. I'll just sit for a while and then take off."
Charlie chuckled, "What, we can't keep you here without Estelle?"
Jonathan was unimpressed, "You think I come here every day to see you guys?"
Everyone laughed and sighed, and Charlie pretended to be heartbroken, "Twenty years of friendship, and this is how you treat me?"
Jonathan sneered, "Your acting, you could go scam people!"
Charlie laughed, "I haven't scammed anyone, don't frame me here!"
After a few lighthearted moments, Charlie's tone turned serious once more as he inquired, "When will Estelle be back?"
"In about two or three days, I suppose," Jonathan replied, idly toying with the lighter in his hand, his handsome face revealing a subtle tenderness.
A man with a broken leg from a car accident was admitted to the ward, and the woman taking care of him swiftly claimed the caregiver's bed. Without contention, Estelle slept in a chair throughout the night.
Observing Estelle curled up in the chair, Xavier furrowed his brow. He called a nurse over and requested, "Can we have an extra bed?"
The nurse apologetically responded, "I'm sorry, but we're currently short on temporary beds due to the recent influx of patients."
Xavier's expression darkened. "Then could you at least bring a blanket?"
The young nurse, visibly intimidated by his demeanor, timidly replied, "Certainly, I'll fetch one right away."
When the nurse returned with the blanket, Xavier shifted towards the edge of the bed. "Come on, sleep on the bed."
Estelle collected the blanket, her countenance composed. "No need."
