"You can leave first." Without even looking at her, Victor turned to William. "I have something to say to William."
When she saw the awkwardness between Ena and Victor, Mary immediately turned to her to help. "Ena, come here. Let's have a chat. After they finish their conversation, you can leave with Victor."
"No, thanks." Ena shook her head and deliberately looked at her watch. "I have a shooting soon. I... I'm leaving now. Bye, Mary."
"Well..." Before Mary could finish her words, Ena had pushed the door open and walked out.
Seeing that Ena ran past him, Victor frowned slightly. As soon as he heard that the door was closed, he turned to William expressionlessly. "Let's go out. I have something to tell you."
William then stood up. As he was about to go out, Mary grabbed his arm.
"Don't bully Victor," ordered Mary calmly.
"I..." William was too angry to say a word. He suddenly felt furious that Mary was protective of Victor instead of him. After a short pause, he defended himself. "How come you think I would bully him? Did you forget that I am a patient? If either of us was to bully someone, it would be him!'1
"I don't care," Mary answered flatly with a pout.
"Okay, fine!" William bent over and kissed her on the lips. "I'll be back soon."
In the corridor outside the ward, Victor took out an envelope from the pocket of the coat and waited for William quietly.
"What's the matter?" William asked as soon as he was out.
Victor turned around, and handed a suspicious envelope to William. "It's for you."
Taken aback, William asked, "What is it? It's from you? Could it be... a love letter?"
"Are you crazy?" Victor rolled his eyes at William. "Yesterday, when I was about to get off work, someone asked the receptionist to send this to the CEO's office, saying it was for you. I took it on your behalf."
The corners of William's mouth twitched. He inspected the envelope from the outside but it seemed that nothing else was inside except for a piece of paper. "I see. Is there anything else?"
Victor shook his head in response.
"I'll go back to the ward then." William then turned around to leave. "Wait a moment!" Victor called him in a hurry. At first he was a little hesitant but decided to tell the news to William. "Frank Liang has woken up.
Hearing that, William stopped abruptly and turned around with a smile. "So?"
"I knew it by accident." Victor pointed at the envelope and said, "I suspect that the letter was from him."
"So you asked me out because you were worried about me and Frank?" William held up the letter. "I can open it in front of you and read it for you.
"Humph! I'm not interested." Victor sneered and added, "You know how much I hate him. I don't give a shit about him."
Taking a deep breath, William suddenly bowed to Victor formally. "I'm sorry."
Victor was in a daze for a second, but came back to his senses immediately. "Are you apologizing to me on behalf of Frank Liang?"
