Veronica and Raymond did not make it to the market and went directly to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor was in Shirley's ward, giving Shirley some suggestions and telling her not to get off the bed alone.
Raymond walked ahead and entered the ward.
Shirley caught Raymond with her sharp eyes and called out happily, "Raymond, you're here! I told the doctor not to call you."
Raymond did not speak. Then, Shirley looked at Veronica who had followed Raymond over. Shirley's happy face soon disappeared.
Veronica and Raymond appeared at the same time. That was like a knife sticking into Shirley's heart.
"So Ms. Luke, you're here too." Shirley tried her best to pull the corners of her mouth and squeeze out a smile.
Veronica couldn't hide the worry on her face. "Ms. Hopper, are you alright? I heard that you were injured. I wanted to see you, but... I never had the chance."
"Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine." Shirley's face was gentle, but a strong sense of jealousy and anger surged in her heart.
It was probably because Shirley was always alone in the ward, and it was easy to feel lonely, so... She was more sensitive and fragile than ordinary people.
In Shirley's usual days with busy work, she had never had those emotions so obvious.
"It's good that you're fine. I've been looking forward to Ms. Hopper being able to recover and leave the hospital as soon as possible."
Veronica hoped that Shirley would recover and leave the hospital as soon as possible. That should not be the case, right? Perhaps... Veronica had been cursing Shirley.
The corners of Shirley's mouth curved slightly. She responded, "I hope I can leave the hospital soon."
Veronica quickly asked Devin to stop the car midway and placed the fruit she bought from the roadside fruit shop on the table.
"Ms. Hopper, this is for you. I heard that you love eating pitaya the most. I bought two more."
Shirley glanced sideways at the brightly colored skin of the pitayas in the bag, but the color suddenly made her dizzy.
Shirley smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
"Since you are fine, then we..." Raymond raised his hand to look at his watch, and he already had the intention to leave.
Before Raymond could finish speaking, Veronica, who was beside him, suddenly pinched his arm and anxiously leaned over to his side to remind him in a low voice, "You're here. Aren't you gonna say something to Ms. Hopper?"
Raymond's gaze suddenly turned gloomy as he glanced at Veronica, causing Veronica's entire body to tremble. Veronica frowned in confusion.
Veronica saw that the light in Shirley's eyes dimmed a little, but Veronica couldn't help.
"I still have something to do. I'll leave you to it. I'll come to see you when I have time later," Raymond said in a formal tone.
The light in Shirley's eyes kept dimming. And she forced a decent smile.
"I know you are a busy person, so I won't keep you. I don't have anything here anyway. You should go. It's okay."
"Alright." After Raymond finished speaking, he did not hesitate to turn around and leave.
Veronica wanted to stop him, but it was too late. She could only nod at Shirley awkwardly and said, "Then I'm leaving too."
Then, Veronica walked away. Shirley could only stare at the backs of the two people, lost in thought for a long time. A dark seed was planted in her heart, slowly sprouting and growing.
Shirley remained silent but angry after that.
After leaving the ward and entering the elevator, Veronica was able to speak.
