He took a deep breath, then continued:
"I've looked into Julian. He got AIDS from drug abuse and frequent unprotected sex with sex workers after that incident. He cherished his life, getting check-ups every three months. He wasn't infected the day he had the conflict with Cicely... so Cicely should be safe."
Seth's narrowed eyes slightly relaxed, and his hand, which was tightly clenched in his pocket, loosened.
Sensing Seth's mood change, Samuel breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like the storm was finally over.
Not long after he finished reporting, Seth turned towards the hospital room instinctively, only to hear a familiar voice coming from the end of the corridor.
"Is Seth here?"
"Danielle..."
"Move, I need to see him!"
Samuel's face stiffened slightly, making him look a bit awkward. "Mr. Diaz, I ran into Danielle downstairs."
Seth's gaze was cold as he looked at Samuel. He turned and walked towards the other end of the corridor, leaving a casual sentence behind:
"Someone keep an eye on her."
Samuel was a bit confused. Keep an eye on her...Was this...to prevent Cicely from leaving? Or to avoid Danielle causing a scene?
No matter what, he'd better just follow orders.
When Danielle saw Seth, her hands clenched tightly. There was no joy or shyness, only careful examination and probing.
"What are you doing here?"
Danielle looked up at him, "What are you doing here?"
Her question carried a nasal tone from a cold. Her gentle eyes stubbornly stared at him, making her look wronged and weak.
Seth wasn't pleased with her question, but he changed his tone, "I'm taking you back to your room."
Danielle looked stubbornly at the corridor behind him and refused to leave.
"Seth, who's here?"
Seth's indifferent eyes finally lowered.
"Do you really want to argue with me here?"
His deep voice carried a distinct coldness. Danielle bit her lip and looked into his deep eyes.
Despite their calmness, Danielle knew that if she continued to push, the iciness in his eyes could explode at any moment.
She eventually compromised, biting her lip hard, and followed Seth downstairs.
Samuel had corn soup delivered for Cicely. Cicely was hungry and didn't hold back.
After eating, she couldn't help but go to the bathroom.
So, being injured really was a hassle, at least when it came to needing the bathroom, holding it in was too uncomfortable.
Once she got off the bed, she didn't plan on staying here any longer.
As long as she moved, the pain was inevitable, so she might as well ride this wave and leave. As to Seth, she never had any thoughts of getting involved with him again.
However, when she opened the door of the ward, two bodyguards suddenly blocked her way.
Samuel saw this and immediately walked over.
"If you need anything, just let me know."
Cicely leaned against the door frame, her face pale. She crossed her arms over her chest and smiled at him.
"What's going on?"
