I walked to the window curiously. Theo's car was still parked at the gate like before. However, there was another car in front of his now.
Next to it, on the side closer to the hospital, Theo and Tyler were wrestling one another. Keith was standing on the other side of the flower bed, looking at the two of them, at a loss.
I took a deep breath. I finally walked out of the ward and hurried to the first floor.
"This is all your fault. Are you even human? " said Tyler as he swung a fist toward Theo's face.
Theo took a half step back and used his palm to catch his first. "If you don't know the whole story, you'd best shut up and don't spout nonsense!"
Tyler did not say anything else, but what followed was a rain of fists on Theo.
I walked from the hospital lobby to the door, but I could hear the conversation between the two of them clearly.
"Everyone, stop." I stood on the steps, frowning from the harsh sunlight.
Tyler and Theo were happy to see my face and had hurried forward, but the moment they took two steps, Alex stopped them.
Theo was used to this and did not come any further.
Tyler glared at the man somewhat angrily but found that it was useless.
There were wounds on both their faces. Theo's tired face looked even more haggard as he had been waiting for me at the hospital door.
There were bruises under his dark eye circles that Tyler had given him, and there was blood on his freshly-grown stubble. Even his clothes were wrinkled.
When I look at him like this now, I no longer felt any distress.
I turned to look at Tyler. The injuries he suffered were milder, but there were bruises on his face.
