It seemed inevitable that Debra would be left alone with Kale.
Before long, Kale entered the room, his demeanor as unyielding as ever.
"Mr. Lowe has asked me to take you home."
"I know."
With a sigh, Debra threw off the blanket and struggled to get out of bed. Kale, however, made no move to assist her, merely standing by like a heartless automaton.
Debra inhaled sharply as pain shot through her. A nurse passing by rushed over to help. "Are you her family? How can you just stand there and watch your wife in pain without offering a hand?"
Kale frowned, annoyance flickering in his eyes.
Debra explained, "He's not my husband, but just a friend."
"Even so, he shouldn't just stand by. He should be helping," the nurse insisted, placing Debra's arm in Kale's.
When he tried to pull away, the nurse firmly said, "This patient is injured. You need to support her properly while she walks. If her wound tears open, she'll need another round of treatment."
"Thank you. He'll take good care of me," Debra said, leaning heavily against Kale's arm.
Despite the pressure, Kale's muscular arm remained rigid. However, after the nurse's scolding, he finally started guiding her into the elevator.
Once outside, he drove the car to the hospital entrance and opened the door for Debra.
As she climbed in, Kale slid into the driver's seat, and the car began to move. Through the rearview mirror, Debra caught a glimpse of Kale's expressionless face. He was no better than a machine.
