Amused by her look, Vincent chuckled, "Why do you look at me like that? Am I a monster?"
Pulling the quilt, Elaine asked, "W- Why are you here?"
"I'm here to see you."
Elaine blinked in bewilderment.
She didn't expect that he would admit it so quick.
Biting her lower lip, she asked again, "When did you come?"
"Yesterday."
Bewildered again, Elaine opened her eyes wide. "Yesterday? That means..."
"Yes," said Vincent in a low voice. He seemed to want to sit down on the chair, but he stood instead as there was a disdain look on his face as if he assumed the chair was dirty. "You can say that I came back with you."
However, she had nothing to say because she didn't know what to say.
She had thought that she would be able to get rid of him once she returned to her hometown, but he had silently followed her here.
So she came back in vain.
"Don't you feel that you can't run away from me no matter how hard you try?" his deep voice suddenly resonated, you avoid me, you can't avoid me?" The man's deep voice suddenly sounded.
His deep voice suddenly resonated in the ward and startled her.
Looking down on her, he cautioned, "You should know better that if you can't run away from me, you should accept me with an open heart."
Silently, she held her knees and said nothing.
As Vincent glanced at her, he said, "You have a slight concussion, so you better sleep now. I'll be here with you."
Since she could not escape from him, she decided to stop running.
He seemed to be able to find her no matter where she went anyway.
Accepting her fate, she lay down silently, pulled over the quilt, and tucked herself in. Before closing her eyes, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Oh yes! My mom! Where is she?"
Vincent chuckled, "I thought you didn't want to know." "Where are my mom and Zoe?" Elaine sat up frantically. "And those punks. Did you meet them when you went to my house?"
"Relax. The matter has been dealt with." Vincent smiled at her. "Listen to me, have a good rest."
Elaine pursed her lips and asked, "How did you find my home?"
After asking, she felt that she had asked a stupid question. He could do anything, so finding a home address would be a piece of cake for him.
Sure enough, Vincent laughed as soon as her finished asking, "There is no one and place in the world that I can't find. So, no matter where you go, I can find you, understand?"
The question must have sounded stupid for him.
His remark irritated her. She felt humiliated, angry, and a complex feeling that she couldn't explain. Ignoring him, she lay down again.
At first, she thought that she couldn't sleep with him by her side. On the contrary, she fell asleep very quickly.
In fact, she was sleeping soundly.
By the time she woke up, it was already dark outside.
With a figure standing next to her, she shrieked in shock, "How long have you been standing there?"
He stood on the same spot before she fell asleep and after she woke up.
"I stood for as long as you slept."
Elaine pursed her lips, speechless.
Didn't he get tired?
As if knowing what she was thinking, Vincent faintly explained, "It's not clean here."
Oh, she had forgotten that he was a germophobe.
Therefore, he would rather stand than sit down.
Amazingly, a kind of manic pleasure surged inside her when she saw him torturing himself like this.
She felt that he should be tortured from time to time.
When a doctor came in to check on Elaine, he felt a rather peculiar aura was circulating the ward.
However, he focused on his work in silence.
It was a small town with a small population, so it was rare to see such an outstanding and charismatic man here. It was just that he looked rather cold and expressionless.
After examining her body, the doctor spoke with an accent, "It's a minor concussion. You're fine now, so just go home and have a good rest for a few days..." "Thank you, doctor."
"You're welcome."
"Can I be discharged today?"
"Of course." The doctor nodded. "If you don't feel well, you can always come back here. It should not be a big problem."
