"See? You can still walk."Kisa had almost torn the sides of her pant legs open. The spot where she gripped was drenched in sweat.Kisa peered at him stubbornly and hatefully with her dark eyes, "You... Are you satisfied now?"'I can walk. But does he know how much pain I have to endure and the price I have to pay just to take these few steps?' she thought.Kisa forced herself to stand up straight.She stared at his smiling face and gritted her teeth, waiting for him to leave quickly.Meanwhile, Gilbert calmly stuck his cigarette back into the cigarette packet before stuffing it into his pant pocket.Then, he tucked one of his hands into his pockets while the other gently caressed the hair strands on Kisa's shoulder.He leaned to her ear and revealed a ghostly smile, "Don't use a wheelchair if you can walk. Your acting is disgusting.""If you find it disgusting, then don't look!""I don't want to. Unfortunately, I don't know if it's a man-made coincidence; I'm always running
When Kisa woke up, her head felt fuzzy.The room was dimly lit with a yellow light.She could not remember where she was right now.From the corner of her eye, she saw a figure moving around.She turned her head slightly.It was Jensen.After Kisa saw the room decor, she realized that she was in her own room.Suddenly, her memories came flooding back to her. She remembered that she had lost consciousness in the stairwell of the hospital.'Judging from the situation, Jensen saved me again,' she thought.Jensen walked to Kisa.He did not seem well-rested and had bloodshot eyes.His tired face was expressionless."Try moving and see if you feel pain anymore," Jensen said.His voice was a little hoarse but still sounded gentle.Kisa tried to sit up from her bet. To her surprise, her tailbone did not hurt anymore. However, the pain in her ankle was not alleviated at all."Are you hungry?"Kisa shook her head."Then I'll get you a glass of water. Hold on."The man said and
Kisa looked at him in shock, "How do you know my tailbone is injured?""When I hugged you while you fainted, you were dazedly clutching that place, saying it hurts." Jensen's tone, carrying a touch of anger, "Kisa, you must be very painful at that time."Kisa lowered her eyes and stayed silent. 'It is as painful as a cramp.'"The doctor took an X-ray of you. The bone wasn't injured, and the hard fall caused the pain.""... Oh," Kisa responded softly, feeling remorseful that her injury was causing trouble for Jensen. She was at a loss and kept blaming herself for her injury in front of Jensen."Although your bone wasn't fractured, you held the place and said it hurts a few times dazedly. In the end, the doctor had to give you medicine, the painkiller that has a strong dependence, normally used for surgery. You shouldn't use it frequently. I just rubbed the medicine on you. How do you feel now?""No, it doesn't hurt at all."Kisa was wondering why the place that hurt like a cramp
"Oh, is it because she's useful or you're being soft toward the pretty girl, so you don't allow me to do anything to her?" asked Sharon."I'm tender toward every girl. Do you want to give it a try?" said Anthony, leaning over and kissing Sharon's neck.Sharon frowned in disgust.Anthony disdained. He turned around and kissed the woman on the other side.Lea could not stand it. She shakily asked Anthony, "C-Can I go?""Get out!" Anthony spoke the two words in annoyance.Lea frantically escaped outside as if fleeing for her life.Anthony stared at her flustered back for a long time. Suddenly, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.A cool breeze blew in when Lea came out of the club, which made her shiver. She folded her arms and walked across the road with her head down.Her rented room was nearby. More precisely, Anthony paid for the rent, but it was registered under her name.It was windy at night, and there were only a few people. The cars on the road whizzed by non-sto
"Drink the coffee to warm yourself up. I'll take you back after drinking."Lea's heartbeat was still beating fast when she returned to her residence.Her heart was entangled with countless emotions, anxiety, self-blame, and guilt. It made her stand motionless for a long time without realizing another person was in the room.The man came out from the shadows and stared at her coldly. "Which man are you fooling around with this late?"'It's Anthony.'Lea trembled in fright.'He was still in the bar just now. Why did he come back so soon?'Lea took two steps back subconsciously.The lights in the room were still off. But there was light coming in from the outside. The faint light allowed her to see Anthony's sinister and evil face.Lea had always been afraid of him, but she could not help herself, wanting to get closer to him.Her heels touched the wall as she leaned against the wall before turning on the switch for the light. With a click sound, the living room was suddenly as
Kisa had just come out of the surgical ward when it snowed.Standing behind her, Jensen suddenly said, "It is almost New Year's Eve, right?"Kisa was stunned. It reminded her of that year, the most unforgettable New Year's Eve she had ever spent. Since then, she had never intended to observe this festive. Despite that, this New Year's Eve may seem a bit special after Jensen mentioned it. She looked out at the snowflakes and smiled back at him. "Let's spend this New Year's Eve together, okay?""Yeah!" Jensen smiled, and his gentle eyes lit up like the stars.Mia looked sullen as she stood with the support of a walking stick. She had spent five days in the hospital and could not wait to be discharged. At first, Jensen thought of taking her back to her place and hiring a nurse for her, but she insisted on staying with Jensen. He had no choice but to give in to her wishes.The snow poured down, and the ground turned white in no time. "New Year's Eve is a luxury for Jensen and me," Mia
"Wait there, I will be right back."Kisa nodded. The snow was getting heavier, and Jensen, who carried Mia in his arms, soon disappeared into the snow. She looked up at the sky and suddenly remembered the day she was sent to prison. The snow then was as heavy as today's, and a thick layer had accumulated on the ground. She sat in the police car and looked out at the white blanket of snow, which looked beautiful but also very bleak.She rolled forward in her wheelchair, then stretched her hand out of the eaves to catch the chilly snowflakes. The air was chilly, and the light-weighted snowflakes danced with the wind, but not a single snowflake fell on her palm. She could not resist moving a bit further out. The ground was wet, and the wheels rolled forward slowly with inertia, with only a centimeter left before she would fall down the steps. Suddenly, her wheelchair lost its balance. Her heart skipped a beat. Before she could react, a force pulled the wheelchair backward and stationed
Gilbert snorted as he looked down at her. The smoke he exhaled loomed above her head, with a nicotine smell drifting into her nostrils, irritating her. "I can't believe you have such a high opinion of yourself, thinking I came to the hospital on purpose to create a chance encounter with you," Gilbert said, bending downward slightly, and said with a low, bitter voice, "I no longer have feelings for you since you stabbed me that day. Creating a chance encounter? Do you even think it is possible?"His sarcastic chuckle made her feel as if she was the one who was making a fool of herself. She clutched the wheelchair's armrest in anger and nervousness. Her hands were red from the cold, her slender fingers looking fragile in the wind.Gilbert glanced at her hands indifferently and sneered, "Look, playing the pity card is only your own undoing. Had you stopped pretending and gotten on your feet, you would have gotten into the car in no time. Why are you still freezing here?"Kisa gritted h
