Sarah’s POV"What is he doing in this place?" I stared in surprise for a moment as the door swung open without anyone knocking on it before, revealing the figure I least wanted to see walk into my room with a disgusting expression on his face.Alex walked over while throwing a smile at me. I didn't understand how her brain worked because she didn't seem to feel any guilt at all by showing her fine self in front of me."Hi, honey. How are you?" I gasped in horror as I heard his soft and sweet tone of voice towards me, and how could he ignore my fierce gaze that followed him every move as if it was not a nuisance to him?He came closer to look around me, fixing what he didn't need to fix because I didn't even need it. Then he looked back at me with a smile on his face. "I heard you were going to be discharged from the hospital today, so I brought this for you." He held out her hand, handing me a bouquet of roses. "I brought you your favorite flowers. Congratulations on finally being dis
Sarah’s POVI glanced at the back of Ethan's hand pressed against the car door frame as I tried to get in and sit down inside. The small detail he noticed made me watch him closely and feel amazed at his attitude.My instincts then wondered, and I unconsciously compared Ethan and Alex, who were completely opposite. Ethan might look indifferent and uncaring, but he was watching me and ensuring I didn't get hurt while being with him, and he was entirely under his observation.When I was with Alex, I was sure he didn't care. He walked by himself without paying attention to me, and he even left me behind a few times and didn't realize it because I was left far behind by him. It was frustrating as I recalled one by one my bad memories with him. I didn't want to remember it. It just came to me, asking me to be fully aware."What are you thinking about?" Ethan's heavy-sounding voice made me spontaneously turn to him, who had somehow moved and was now sitting on the bench next to me.I stared
Sarah’s POV"Come in and make this place your home." Lila opened the door to her apartment, then held the door open while holding the small bag I had brought because I didn't have much other than the medicines Ethan had prepared for me.I threw a smile at her, grateful that in the midst of the chaos, there was still Lila, who didn't turn away from me. She was still the same person as before. "Then I ask permission to stay for a while," I said back to her, and she snorted with a fierce glare at me."You can stay as long as you want. No need to think about it." I looked back, watching her, who was still there, and closed the door tightly. Then, later, she grabbed the slippers in the room, putting one on for me while he grabbed the other for her. "But what's with that guy?" she walked over first, glancing at me as she walked over and placed my bag on the table near the sofa.Lila's hand beckoned me to sit there first while her feet were still walking in the other direction. I then sat do
Ethan's pov"Make sure that the wound is not exposed to water. It is better to avoid activities that require a lot of movement on your arm for a while because it is possible for the wound to rub or open." I wrapped the arm that I had just stitched up with waterproof tape to keep the wound moist.The man I was treating winced softly as I closed the wound. Then he clenched his hands into fists while squeezing the sheets of the patient bed he was sitting on. "So when should I come back, Doc?" I saw his face still grimacing, feeling the throbbing in his arm.I finished what I was doing, moving from there to my desk after having made sure to give her an explanation. "You can come back after seven days. We'll see what the wound looks like." I prescribed the only medicine he needed. Then he tore off the paper and handed it over. "Here, take the medicine for the pain and apply an antibiotic to the wound. That should make a difference after 24 hours."The man took the paper from my hand as he
Ethan's pov"It's good if I visit her." Weighing between going home or going to see her, I ended up deciding to see her after work.Before that, I made sure to check with the nurse working under me first that there were no more patients that I needed to take care of, and she agreed to that. So, I drove my vehicle out of the hospital grounds, traveling at an average speed because I didn't want to rush. Even though I wanted to see her, I was busy organizing a situation I could predict.I realized that the situation between me and Sarah was quite awkward. I couldn't say that Sarah was comfortable with me, but it didn't seem that she hated my existence either. Perhaps it was my cold demeanor, as well as the way I spoke, that made her seem uncomfortable and unable to get along with me.So I thought about what topics might be able to get him to keep talking and be more relaxed with me, other than talking about his health challenges or about our working relationship, which would only bring u
Sa Sarah’s POV I, who had only stayed at Lila's house for a day, never thought I would move out of the house so soon. "Can we at least wait for Lila to return from work first?" I turned to her, who had now moved from opening the car door for me and sitting on the seat later. He glanced back at me. "Didn't I call her earlier, and she agreed? I told her over the phone, and she understood the situation. The sooner, the better, your wounds also need to be treated seriously, so it's just as well." He responded with his focus on the road now that the car was moving. I sighed softly, also turning my gaze towards the front. Many things were going on in my head. Firstly, I still hadn't prepared myself to go and live with him, and secondly. I felt sorry for Lila. Lila had prepared a lot of things for my moving into her apartment, but I left her after a day of staying there. I felt terrible that her preparations seemed like a waste, even though I was the one who asked to be able to stay with
Sarah’s POV"No kidding!" I pushed him away from me, then removed my hand from his grasp.I caught a glimpse of Ethan smiling, looking at me casually like he was playing a prank on a child. I don't know much about her, but I'm slowly getting to know her. He's not as cold as she looks, and she's not as stiff as he seems.I let out my breath next to him. "We don't have time for jokes." Suddenly, I was the one who became rigid in this, just because I didn't want him to realize the strangeness I felt inside me every time he came close. "There are many things we need to do and think about seriously." at least for now, I didn't want to think about anything.I'm so afraid that I'll misperceive her attitude, and it will make me act rashly. Right now, my relationship with him was an alliance with a common goal, so until that goal was achieved, I didn't want anything else to happen and disrupt our goal.Even if I realized something was growing inside me towards him, I had to be careful and hide
Sarah’s POV"Where did I put it, huh?" I turned my head right and left, moving quickly to find the medicine I still had to carry. "Last time I put it here, or did I leave it on the kitchen table?"I couldn't remember last night. I did manage to take my medicine out and take it there, but it felt like I had already taken it with me.I stayed silent for a while, trying to review my memory to find it. "If I left it on the kitchen table, Ethan would've returned it to me." Given that she hadn't come, then that meant I had put them away, but I didn't know where."Oh my!" I exclaimed with a sigh and then sat limply on the bottom edge of the bed while my hands rifled through the bag I had placed on the bed. "How could I forget?" I couldn't believe I had put it in the bag since last night.After eating dinner and drinking downstairs, I returned the medicine to the room and immediately put it in the bag so I wouldn't forget to bring it. I couldn't believe I remembered that I still had to carry
