When the other party steps out of the elevator, a grimace appears on Leila's lips.
They looked at each other, and an inexplicable tension lingered around them.
Leila unconsciously squeezes Mike's arm while trying to cover her panic.
After a while, the man came with a bag in his hand one step at a time.
Seeing that she was going past them, he suddenly stood still, and his lopsided gaze fell onto Leila's pale cheeks. "Excuse me, how do I get to ward number 302?"
"Just walk straight!" Leila's eyes refused to look at the other party any longer.
The man seemed to be smiling but not really so, and nodded slightly. "Thank you, young lady."
Then they walked past her and Mike. The rhythm of his leather shoes stepping on the corridor floor stiffened her spine.
"Mike, how about we go to the oncology ward to see my parents?" Leila's voice trembled.
Even though Mike hadn't answered yet, she already grabbed him and quickly made her way to the elevator.
She was nervous, even scared.
And all of this can be seen by Mike.
After he had tacitly agreed, he simply walked over to the elevator and stopped. "You wait for me here, I'll come back and get something."
Leila panicked, and her tone grew anxious. "What do you want to take? We'd better see them first!"
"Don't worry, it won't take long. Wait for me here." Mike touched her head gently, then quickly walked back to the ward.
Leila was standing there, confused.
When Mike came back again, Leila's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
She still didn't move in the elevator. When she finally saw Mike's figure, she let out a sigh of relief.
"Mike, did you come back just to get the fruit?" Leila touched her forehead and saw that the bag of fruit in Mike's hand.
Mike nodded. "Since I'm going to see your parents, I can't go there empty-handed."
"You are too much!" Leila said with a smile. She then stopped and asked in surprise, "Mike, you just came back from the room, didn't you see the guy who asked for directions?"
Mike pulled her into the elevator. "No."
"Is it true?"
"What's the matter? Is he your acquaintance?"
Faced with Mike's rhetorical question, Leila shook her head quickly. "Not an acquaintance of mine. I just heard that he's going to Ward 302, I'm just wondering who he wants to meet with."
Mike shook his eyes with a pretentious calm expression
...
Half an hour later, Leila was still chatting with Sylvia.
Initially, her thoughts of coming to visit weren't very strong.
If it weren't for avoiding that man, she wouldn't have come here.
However, Robert was not there, Sylvia said that he was getting checked.
At this time, Robert had returned and opened the door to enter the ward. At first glance, he saw Leila sitting in front of his bed with his wife and chatting hand in hand.
Not hesitating, he pressed his back against the door and said in a cold voice, "Get out of here!"
He didn't want to see Leila even for a moment!
This child was very disappointing.
For many reasons, he clearly realized that Leila didn't think of him as an old man in her heart.
No matter how much they gave her, it was only their wish in the end. The girl had never felt the same.
Leila has no heart at all!
At this moment, Leila sat down shamelessly. Mike wasn't there, only Sylvia devoted herself to protecting her. "Robert, what are you saying? Our girl is finally back, do you want..."
"Shut up!" Robert shouted angrily, enduring his physical discomfort. "Why do you always defend her? Didn't he leave us without saying a word? What did she come for now? Of course she must be asking us something again, right? I'm sick of having a daughter like her!"
Leila was scolded, she could only shrink in Sylvia's embrace sadly, a little afraid to make a sound.
Robert didn't speak anymore, he stood at the door with a heart full of anger, "Get out!"
"Robert, you…"
"And you, if you don't want to obey me, go with her!"
Sylvia was shocked at Robert's words.
The woman finally couldn't hold it anymore, she couldn't stand her daughter being scolded. She was about to take Leila and get out of the ward.
However, after only taking two steps, Robert fell and sat on the ground in pain.
He had just finished various tests, and now he was so angry to find Leila there that he suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't stand his pain.
"Robert!" Sylvia shouted, still worried about Robert's health.
Seeing this, Leila could only bite the corner of her mouth and said, "Then... you guys rest well, I'll be back first!"
She thinks that half an hour has passed, so the man should have left the room.
Mike just said he was out to smoke. It's almost 20 minutes ago but he hasn't returned.
Leila wonders as she walks away, and when she was hesitating about whether to come down to find Mike, someone wrapped one arm behind her shoulder.
She looked happy, and when she looked back, she met another person's cheerful eyes, and her whole body was thunderstruck.
"If I don't read the news on the Internet, I don't know you are already in Surabaya!" His tone was low but full of ridicule.
"Brother Bernard!" Leila was dragged forcefully up the stairs, she couldn't help but struggle.
The man in front of her is Trisa's younger brother, Bernard.
...
Ten minutes later, Mike doesn't find Leila in her father's ward.
He returns to room 302 with a tense expression, but he doesn't see her there.
Mike asks the patient in the room and learns that she hasn't returned, which makes him feel something is wrong.
He plans to go out and look for her, but the female patient who just came by happened to put down her cell phone and reminded him, "I see her going up the stairs now!"
Upon hearing this, Mike turned and ran towards her. Turning away, he pursed the corners of his lips. "Thank you."
He ran towards the stairs, and as soon as he opened the door, he bumped into the person inside.
The same man from before! The two of them looked at each other, then Mike apologized and ran back.
The man paced back and forth, grinned, turned and walked away.
Mike looked at his back, the black color under his eyes became thick.
Bernard!
When he saw Bernard walking towards the elevator in the distance, Leila, who was slowly emerging from the corridor, also appeared.
"Mike..."
Leila stared at him blankly, subconsciously lowering her head and throwing away her face, afraid that Mike would see the cut on her cheek.
She had been slapped twice by Bernard earlier, and now she felt her whole face was swollen.
