Ralph did not expect “Heather” to be here so soon. He could not even avoid her and was standing face to face. Surprise flashed across her eyes, then she asked coldly, “What are you doing here?”
“I…” He moved his arm and laughed awkwardly, “Ha, ha!”
‘You should see what you’ve done to me,’ Ralph thought, but he did not expect her to be surprised when she saw his injured arm.
She even asked, “Are you hurt?”
“It’s all because of you…” He paused as he saw her expression and decided against it, “It’s fine. I wasn’t standing properly.”
Seeing her innocent expression, Ralph was furious. ‘How could you act like nothing had happened when you were the one who was so rough with me? You even saw me fall when you dragged me by the arm!’ He thought but would not dare to say this out loud for fear of being beaten up by her.
“No, no, it’s definitely me. I lost my balance,” he remarked sarcastically. Then, he lifted his head and noticed they were standing in front of the neurology department. He smiled and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“I…” Hannah panicked, and even though it was just for a moment, it was still too obvious. She raised her hand and tugged a strand of hair behind her ear, “I’m here to get some medication for a friend. I’m leaving. Goodbye.”
He ran up to her and asked, “Friend? Your friend must be quite sick if he needs to visit a neurologist.”
His intention was to find out why she was here and to see her embarrass herself. Besides, they were in a hospital, so he believed she would not do anything violent to him.
