Chapter 747
His teammates immediately stop in their tracks.
They wondered why Jim acted strange today.
He was not being himself today.
It was as if he was a ticking bomb. “Get over here and help me up. His teammates went over to him and held him. “Let‘s go!”
He had his head hung low all the time and he did not dare to look at Sage.
Right when the trio reached the door, a voice called out to them. “Stop right there!”
The trio immediately stopped in their tracks.
Jim‘s entire body tensed up as he shut his eyes tightly. Inwardly, he thought to himself: ‘Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!‘
Sage then said to the coach, “Sir, would you and the boys wait outside? There‘s something that I‘d like to talk to Jim about.”
The coach was first startled but he immediately understood what Sage hinted at.
Things spiraled quickly into an awkward situation. “Are you a doctor here?”
“Yes.”
Sage added, “I‘ll explain to you about his injury later.”
The coach nodded. “Sure.”
He then walked out the door with the boys. Before closing the door behind him, he said to Jim, “Son, you‘ve got quite a good eye,” Jim: “...”
At that moment, he wanted to remove the bandage on his leg and stuffed them into his coach‘s mouth.
After the coach and the boys left, Jim and Sage were left alone in the consultation room.
Sage walked over to the window and had one of the securities collect Jim‘s phone.
Jim said anxiously, “Sage, it... it‘s okay.”
“The phone did nothing wrong. Why shouldn‘t we pick it up?”
Sage checked the phone and said, “The screen protector cracked. Just get a new one.”
She then returned the phone to Jim. “Thanks, Sage.”
