"Will there be any side effects?" The man who adored Thalia asked the doctor with concern.
"Until she wakes up and we examine her, we can't tell yet if she'll have any aftereffects."
I handed the newly bought coat to Theo. Seeing the dark and gloomy look on his face, I said, "Can we still go to Carlson's place tonight? If not. I’ll give him a call and ask him not to wait for us."
Theo looked at me. His gloomy expression slightly softened. He took the coat from my hands and put it on, saying with a smile," No, we’ll go over in a while more."
He looked at Thalia's admirer after saying that. "You're Julian, right?"
The man nodded. "Yeah.
"Stay here and take care of her. Contact the number on the card if you need anything. Let me know if she wants money or other things when she wakes up." Theo handed a name card to Julian.
My mouth started twitching. Theo’s way of handling a problem seemed so strange for some reason. Thalia would be so embarrassed to hear it if she were awake right now.
Julian's countenance was equally dark, but he took the name card nonetheless. "Thank you, Mr. Grant."
Theo nodded, took my hand, and was ready to leave.
I thought about it and eventually took out a bank card from my bag. I handed it to Julian. "Please take good care of her. Use the money in here to pay the hospital bills. Don’t forget to buy her some supplements for her health. You can contact us any time if you need anything. When she wakes up, tell her to only focus on recuperating. We'll handle the rest."
Julian hesitated a little but eventually took the bank card.
