As I reached the nurse’s station to collect the medicine, a nurse noticed me.
“Ms. Sophie, how’s your leg? It was in such bad shape. Is that your boyfriend back there?”
I smiled faintly. “No, just a friend.”
The nurse nodded knowingly. “I thought so. If he was your boyfriend, you should’ve broken up long ago. You were in the ER for several days and no one visit or looked after you.”
After the nurse left, Frederick approached me, his voice quiet. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were really hospitalized.”
“I told you, but you didn’t believe me. Do I need to remind you of everything? You were too busy defending your “beloved” Childhood friend.”
He reached out to me. “I swear, I won’t see Lucia anymore. Can you forgive me this time?”
I looked at him seriously. “Frederick, I’ve given you too many chances. You didn’t take any of them.”
“There won’t be a next time. This time, we’re really over.”
