Chapter 273 Two Men Who Couldn’t Be Driven Away
Hearing him ask this, I belatedly realized that I don’t seem to have told anyone about this, have I?
Moreover, from the time I left the police station until now, apart from the brief moment I saw them at the entrance of the police station, I have been in the hospital all along, not saying or doing anything. How did Daniel suddenly know that I had frostbite?
I looked up at Daniel, somewhat puzzled.
Seeing me looking at him, Daniel gave a faint smile, his l*ps curling slightly. He began to speak, “I saw your hand was red and swollen at the police station entrance, so I had someone inquire about it. I’m sorry I couldn’t rescue you sooner and that you had to suffer so much. I thought…”
At this point, his face darkened slightly. He glanced sideways at Walter and said, “Mr. Hinton, you’ve been in River City for many years. I really overestimated you, you can’t even take care of one person.”
His words were very ambiguous.
Walter’s brow furrowed slightly, but he was not one to waste words with others. He was unaware of the fact that I had been-berated at the police station. If he hadn’t accidentally noticed the red swelling on my hands and feet just now, he probably wouldn’t have realized it at this point.
Mocked by Daniel, he didn’t respond, but instead looked at Daniel with a cold face and said, “It seems I was too lenient during the day.”
The words were ominously chilling, especially since Daniel was brought in with his face bandaged. It sounded not only threatening but also heavily sarcastic.
Daniel was so angry that his handsome face turned as black as charcoal.
In this relatively luxurious ward, the atmosphere was so tense it was frightening. Worried that these two would start fighting again, I quickly raised my hand to rub my head, frowning and putting on a tired face, “Ah, I’m a bit tired. You all should go home, I want to sleep for a while.”
“I stayed to keep you company.”
“You slept, I was here guarding.”
Both spoke at the same time, the former being Daniel, the latter Walter.
I held my forehead, resisting the urge to roll my eyes. These two really were in sync.
With a forced smile, I looked at the two of them impartially and said, “You both should go home, I’m much better now, I’m fine.” What I really wanted to say was, if it wasn’t for the fact that it was getting late, I would really like to go home.
My words seemed to have just gone in one ear and out the other, the two of them didn’t take it in at all.
After Walter had cleaned up and thrown away the food box that he had just brought and I had finished eating, he casually sat down on a chair not far away, preparing to stay put like a deity.
As for Daniel, he didn’t need to find a seat as he had his own wheelchair. He casually pulled the blanket over me and said, “Don’t
worry, you can sleep peacefully, I won’t make any noise.”
I…
Had these two people lost their minds?
Looking at the two large Buddha statues in the ward, I felt a bit breathless, but didn’t know what to do.
Sleep, of course, was out of the question, because I had just had a deep sleep, and even if I tried to continue sleeping, I couldn’t.
But it seemed that these two had no intention of leaving at all, they were determined to stay here and watch me sleep.
Lying in the hospital bed, for the first time, I felt that this kind of entanglement that couldn’t be shaken off was truly unbearable.
No one did anything wrong, but, I just felt uneasy inside.
It was frustrating. After finally escaping the disaster of prison, I thought I could eat well and sleep well once I got out. But before I even stepped out of the police station’s main door, I was kicked in the waist and ended up in the hospital. Even in the hospital, I couldn’t find
peace.
What on earth did I do in my past life to deserve such treatment in this life!
“Ah!” I couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, feeling extremely frustrated.
Perhaps it was too quiet in the ward, I suddenly spoke out. Both of
them turned to look at me simultaneously, their surprisingly attractive black eyes staring at me, both silently conveying care and inquiry.
“Uncomfortable?”
“Did your back hurt?”
Again in unison, the former restrained and dignified, was Walter, the latter gentle, was Daniel.
I poked my head out from under the blanket, pulled a dry smile, shook my head, “No, everything’s fine.”
It would have been better if they were not here.
But I couldn’t utter these words, I could only swallow them down.
Seeing that I couldn’t sleep, Daniel looked at me and asked, “Is this bed uncomfortable?” Without waiting for my response, he turned to Sebastian and said, “Go arrange for a more comfortable bed to be brought in.”
