Quincy touched the surface of the food box, which was still hot. In this way, Alden and the other two roommates could have a good meal. Thinking of this, Quincy quickly walked to the hospital.
"Creak." Quincy pushed open the ward door.
Krista was staying in a single ward. Her injuries weren't serious. Some gauze wrapped around her injured leg.
There were many Krista's friends at her bed. Except Quincy's roommates, others were dressed in a fashionable manner, which were middle-level and upper-class brand clothes.
Beside the bed were gifts from Krista's friends, including the Deluxe Milk, exquisitely packaged fruit baskets, local eggs, and a few boxes of ginseng packed in red boxes.
They were chatting happily when Quincy came in. Their gazes were fixed on Quincy, who was holding a food box.
Quincy was shocked by the crowd. He didn't expect that there would be so many people in Krista's ward.
Quincy was delivering food for Alden and his two other roommates. After all, Krista was injured. Now that so many people were looking at him, Quincy smiled and greeted Krista, "Krista, are you alright?"
Krista did not respond. She just looked at Quincy coldly, as if she was reluctant to see Quincy.
"What's in your hand?" Scarlet pointed at the food box in Quincy's hand and asked.
"I brought some meal for..." Quincy glanced at the food box in his hand and said calmly.
Scarlet looked at Quincy in surprise and said, "You brought a meal for Krista, did you?" Normally, people who visit friends in hospital would bring nutrients. It was strange to bring meals.
"It was because Alden and the others..." Quincy was just about to explain that this meal was for his roommates. Alden walked over and patted Quincy on his shoulder. Alden smiled and said, "Quincy is practical. Considering that we haven't eaten yet, he brought these dishes for us!"
Quincy came to visit Krista without bringing anything with him. He would be laughed at by Krista's snobbish friends. Although this meal was brought to his roommates, Quincy could only admit that it was brought to Krista.
It would be better to bring a meal than nothing.
"Ridiculous. This is the first time I've heard of someone bringing a meal to see a patient."
"I've heard of it before, but all I see is the patient's mother doing that. You're at least a college student. Why do you bring a meal? Don't you think it's cheap?"
A few of Krista's friends began to discuss.
"Hey, when you came in with this box just now, did anyone see you?" Krista asked angrily. A classmate came to see her with a meal. She felt embarrassed at the thought of that.
"Yes." Quincy felt a little uncomfortable. Not to mention that this meal was not for you, even if it was really for you, it was out of kindness. It shouldn't be despised.
"Really? How embarrassing!" Krista snorted and looked away.
"Why don't we see what kind of good stuff he brings over?"
As she spoke, Scarlet was about to Quincy and opened the food box in Quincy's hand.
"There's no need. What can he bring? I've heard of him at school. His family is very poor and he doesn't eat in restaurant at all."
"I think I recognized him. He used to be a delivery person of our school. I had ordered takeout from him. He is responsible for delivering takeout food of small stalls such as fried rice and fried noodles outside our school!"
"Is that so? Those stalls outside the school sell a portion of fried rice and fried noodles at only 7-8 yuan. Is this food box filled with fried rice and fried noodles?"
"Definitely. With his poor appearance, even if it wasn't fried rice, it wouldn't value than 10 yuan. Now, Krista needs nutrition. What do you mean by bringing these over?"
"I feel embarrassed at the thought of the scene. When the nurse comes in, she will see that everyone in the ward is holding a box, which contains fried noodles at seven or eight yuan. If this is known by others, we'll become the laughingstock in this hospital."
Krista's friends, as they spoke, completely ignored Quincy. Several of them had dinner together at X Restaurant last time. They all knew Krista's attitude towards Quincy, so they didn't mind cheating Quincy!
Quincy found these people hopeless. Right now, there was no need for him to stay. He ignored the others and only told his roommates to eat while the food was not cold. Then, he turned around and left.
Krista frowned as she looked at Alden, who was holding the box, "Don't eat it. Be careful not to get sick. You guys have a lunch together later. Put the food he brought on the floor. When the cleaner arrives, I'll let her feed it to the dog!"
Alden felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't say anything in this condition. He put the food box on the floor.
At this moment, the door of the ward opened. Another person came in.
"Krista, it's all my fault. How are you? Is your injury serious?" It was Ramon who entered. His head and hands were wrapped in gauze, but his injuries weren't serious.
"It's not a big deal. Just some scratch and a little fracture. The doctor said that I could be discharged after two days of observation. What about you?" Krista was no longer cold and revealed a sweet smile.
"Are you alright? Yesterday, you were unconscious. How do you feel now? It's all my fault. I affected you as I was sitting behind..."
