During the evening, Michael was sent back to the ward by a doctor and a nurse. He had an intravenous drip in his arm. Morgan rested his hand on the bed railing and asked, "Mike, how are you feeling? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Michael replied weakly.
When Alina heard Michael's voice, she was so excited that she burst into tears. She finally heard his voice again.
Michael's face appeared in front of her.
He looked at her with a smile. "Alina, it's so nice to see you again!"
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Alina's voice was choked with relief. Now that he had woke up, her frayed nerves could finally relax.
"No, not at all!" Michael said casually, even though it was obvious he was enduring tremendous pain all over his body.
"How can it not be uncomfortable? Have a good rest and don't talk anymore. Dr. Bill said it won't be long before you will be as good as new. You must get well as soon as possible." Alina suppressed the emotion in her heart and said with a smile.
"Alright." Michael returned her smile and turned to Morgan. "Morgan, did you quit your job?"
Morgan laughed awkwardly. "I've quit. I'll look for an internship somewhere else."
It was not until then Alina realized that Morgan had resigned from the construction site to take care of Michael.
She looked at Morgan apologetically. Morgan smiled and said to her, "I grew up in the same neighbourhood as Mike. In fact, we are as close as brothers. Furthermore, we were classmates as well. So don't feel sorry. With our relationship, I would even resign from a position as a civil servant, let alone resigning from an internship."
Alina couldn't help but chuckle. What else could she say? She was sincerely happy for Mike to have such a good friend like Morgan, just like how Rosie was to her.
Morgan and Michael joined in the laughter.
