Following Jean's weird facial expressions, Calvin tried to see what Jean was looking at.
He saw nothing but a young man awkwardly walking towards them with a very concerned expression on his face. His head was heavily wrapped by layers of gauze.
"Moore, why did you come out?" Jean was taken aback and went up to him hastily.
"I heard from a nurse that your father received an operation for serious illness. I was worried that it would sadden you, so I have come to see you. As I got to his ward, they told me that you had just left. But I saw weird expressions on your stepmother's and siblings' faces. Something felt wrong, so I came out to confirm if you are still here."
While speaking these words out, Moore walked over to her and analyzed her from head to toe like he was trying to make out something. He didn't relax until he was sure that she was alright.
Calvin squinted a little, looking at the two of them interacting with each other and feeling left-out.
"I'm ok." Jean caught Moore's hand and smiled, "I'm fine. Thanks a lot for your concern. Go back to your ward now!"
"Hmm." Moore nodded at Jean. Now that he was relieved, he took notice of Calvin and a flash of surprise showed on his face.
Seeing this, Jean realized that she had forgotten to introduce them to each other. She patted herself on her head and explained smilingly, "Let me introduce you to each other. Moore, this is Calvin. He helped me a lot today inside the hospital. Calvin, this is Moore. I accidentally ran over him several days ago. So far, he is still in hospital for recovery."
Jean made a brief introduction of them.
Both Calvin and Moore were shocked at Jean's introduction. Afterward, the two of them shook hands with each other but the strange look persisted.
"Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, too."
Jean broke into a chuckle at the sight of their weird facial expression. 'Relax, guys, ' she said while she continued to chuckle.
They couldn't have known each other. But now, they happened to meet each other because of Jean.
She was not sure if this was good for her or not.
'Anyway, everything would be okay as long as the one that met them here was not Zed, ' she sighed.
"Moore! Go back to your ward, please. Now you are still very feeble, so you can't move around as you wish. Let me send you back." As soon as she finished speaking, Jean moved closer to Moore and was about to force him into the ward.
"I am not so weak. Besides, it is good for health to be moving around from time to time. Are you leaving? Then you two must leave first. I know my way back and can do it on my own." Moore stopped Jean before she could hold his arm around her.
"Okay! Just be careful." At Moore's insistence, Jean felt embarrassed and didn't want to make him angry.
"I know. Be careful on your way, " instructed Moore.
"Bye." Jean waved goodbye to Moore and walked out towards the entrance with Calvin along her side.
Long after the two of them had left, Moore still stood where they had left him. At last, he slowly turned back and moved towards his ward.
When they came near the street, Jean turned down Calvin's request for driving her home.
Since it was the second time that Jean declined him, Calvin felt his insistence would be too rude and impolite. He waited for Jean to get a taxi before he moved to the parking lot.
His heart was still filled with complex emotions all the way to the parking lot. Jean acted weirdly and he wanted to know the reason behind it. On the other hand, Jean got out of the taxi, calmed herself down and strode towards their villa at a very fast pace.
After removing her shoes at the doorway, Jean slowed down her pace. Looking around, she was so amazed to find that no one was present. The silence unnerved so she yelled, "Zelda."
"Yes?" As soon as she heard Jean's yell, Zelda came running out of the kitchen. When she saw Jean, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Mrs. Jean, you have come back."
"Where is Zed?" asked Jean cutting Zelda off.
"Mr. Zed and Miss Tang went out together."
Zelda replied while wiping her hands.
"Went out? Where have they gone?" asked Jean looking taken back.
'I went to the hospital for a short time. But both of them took advantage of the opportunity and went out.' A feeling of betrayal consumed her.
What on earth happened between them?
"I think they went for grocery shopping, " Zelda hurriedly added seeing the fear on Jean's face. Zelda knew this house witnessed a lot of arguments and she didn't want to stir more trouble. She further explained, "I originally wanted to buy food by myself. Miss Tang insisted that she would go to buy them for me, as she thought that it would lessen my burden."
