Jessica and Carl grew up together. For so many years, Jessica had never seen him peel an apple for any woman, other than her and his elders.
Sivan lay on the bed, looking at Carl.
After Carl finished peeling the apple, he turned around and said something to Sivan. Sivan smiled and looked bashful.
A girl in her early twenties would be adorable if she didn't have an evil heart.
Jessica was kind of obsessed. She didn't come to herself until Molly called her.
"Let's go." Jessica turned around and left.
"What?" Molly didn't understand.
Jessica came all the way to the hospital to see Sivan, but now she left even without getting into the ward.
Molly looked inside through the window, but unexpectedly, she met Carl's gaze.
Carl was a bit stunned to see Molly. He said something to Sivan, and then walked towards the door.
Molly, who was caught on the spot, moved aside with a guilty look and waited for Carl to come out.
Carl hurriedly strode toward the door. Molly called him in a low voice, "Carl."
Carl ignored Molly and looked around. Soon, he saw Jessica walking towards the other end of the corridor.
"Jessica!" Carl marched toward her.
Molly was a little upset. Jessica intended to leave quietly, but Carl found her due to her carelessness.
When Jessica heard the footsteps, she stood still for a while before turning around.
Carl trotted toward her as if he was afraid that she would leave. He looked anxious. But when Carl saw Jessica stop, a trace of joy flashed through his face.
