Anna and Kevin were stunned by the questions thrown by the old man.
He said it with utmost certainty, insisting that it was Kevin and Anne who beat him. The conviction in his accusation made it seem irrefutable.
Kevin sighed with pity. "When you held my hand and said that I knocked you down into the ground, I saw a surveillance camera on our left."
The old man's body stiffened. He closed his eyes and stayed silent.
The doctor and the nurse looked at each other. They didn't know what to make of this situation.
Who on earth hit the old man? Of course, they didn't know. But what they did know was that Kevin was very unlucky.
Despite his persistent accusations, Kevin remained patient with the old man. "Sir, you are too old, and your wounds are very serious. Why don't you give me your family's phone number so that I can inform them on your behalf to take care of you?"
However, the old man stayed still and refused to speak a word.
Kevin looked at the nurse beside him. The nurse sighed and walked towards the old man. "Sir," the nurse said with a gentle tone, "you're old, and your injuries are serious. Let your children come to see you."
That still didn't work. The old man was still unmoving and silent as though he had fallen asleep.
Kevin grew more helpless as time went by. He turned to Anne, who shook her head at him.
He then went to see the doctor. The doctor told Kevin that although the old man was in good condition, it would be better for him to have an operation first since he was old.
Despite knowing that he wasn't responsible for what happened to the old man, Kevin still agreed to pay for his medical fees.
People in the hospital who knew what really happened lauded Kevin for his generosity.
Despite this unlucky encounter, he still managed to be kind.
Anne, on the other hand, felt very dissatisfied and aggrieved. However, she didn't stop Kevin from paying the old man's bills. Just like he said, they were just doing a good deed.
Noticing that the hospital's food wasn't very nutritious, Anne herself offered to cook for the old man and made him bone soup every day.
Every day, the old man ate a lot. However, he still hadn't given them his children's contact number. He also barely talked with anyone while he was in the hospital.
His uncooperative nature made it hard for anyone to help him.
