A sense of irrationalness filled Henry's heart, and a pair of big hands stretched out toward the tender girl.
Just as he was about to touch the secret place, Henry's movement suddenly stopped, and his slightly red eyes regained clarity.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no." Looking at the delicate girl in front of him, Henry shook his head hard. He quickly got up, rushed into the bathroom, and woke himself up with only a little water in the water pipe.
Henry raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror. "What's wrong? Why can't I stand any temptation?"
Taking a deep breath and walking out of the bathroom, Henry saw that Amity had put on her clothes again and sat on the sofa with unnatural eyes.
Both of them were too impulsive at that moment.
Seeing Henry coming out, Amity said in a stuttering tone, "Brother Zhang, let's... let's go."
The two of them didn't mention anything about what had just happened, but the atmosphere between them was obviously much more awkward. On the way back to the hospital, they didn't even talk much.
Henry took Amity to the downstairs of the hospital.
"Brother Zhang, you can go back. I can go up by myself." Standing in front of the hospital gate, Amity waved to Henry.
"Okay." Henry nodded and did not insist. After seeing Amity enter the hospital, he turned and left.
Amity walked into the hospital gate. More than ten seconds later, she reappeared at the hospital entrance. Looking at Henry's back, she slightly opened her mouth and did not make a sound, but through her mouth shape, one could understand the words she was saying- "thank you".
When Henry returned home, he saw Sylvia sitting on the sofa as soon as he entered the door. For some reason, Henry felt that the room was filled with a strange atmosphere.
Hearing the sound of the door, Sylvia, who was sitting on the sofa, said without looking back, "Why is your phone turned off?"
"It's out of power." Henry took out his mobile phone from his pocket and gave a wry smile. Amity paid for the meal they just had.
"No power?" Sylvia sneered. Obviously, she did not believe Henry. She asked again, "What did you do after you left the job fair?"
Henry replied, "Went to the hospital."
Sylvia asked, "Why did you go to the hospital?"
"Just went to see a friend." Henry shook his head. He thought that it was better not to tell Sylvia about Amity father. This woman was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He knew that, but in her heart, she was only worried about him.
Hearing Henry's answer, Sylvia's heart was full of disappointment.
She turned around and looked at Henry. On this man, Sylvia saw unprecedented complexity. What he had done before and what he had shown was all fake. If he said that he was good to me, it would be a lie!
Henry was stared at by Sylvia. At this moment, a panic filled Henry's heart. He had a bad feeling. "Honey, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine." Sylvia shook her head and showed a self-deprecating smile. "I'm going to rest."
Sylvia put on her slippers and didn't look at Henry anymore. Then she got up and went upstairs.
Henry looked at Sylvia's back. At this moment, he felt that there seemed to be something important, but he couldn't catch it.
