Much like yesterday, Mom sent me breakfast. After I finished it, she left without a word.
Moments later, Ronan showed up.
“Are you surprised to see me? Look what I have prepared for you.” He dangled a hearty breakfast in front of me with a smile.
“Why are you here today? Don’t you have work to do?” I was a little more touched than surprised to see him.
“Do I look like someone who needs to work?” Ronan grinned teasingly.
I furrowed my eyebrows. He does look like he belongs to a rich family. If that’s the case, it’s not abnormal for him to not work. However, I don’t particularly like people like him.
“I have had breakfast,” I informed, even though the breakfast he prepared looked great.
“The one your mother prepared could barely fulfill all your nutritional needs. You might not have a lot of appetites right now because you’re sick, but you need these nutrients. I think you should at least eat a little, okay?”
Seeing how he still insisted on me eating, I sighed and went along with it.
“Even if you don’t need to work, don’t you have anything else better to do?” I spoke as I ate the food.
It was a little weird that he kept visiting me because we barely knew each other.
“I was worried that no one would take care of you, so I came to visit.” Ronan smiled.
“I don’t need anyone to take care of me, especially when I’m leaving the hospital today.” Despite my words, I was still a little grateful that he cared about me.
I knew he had seen me as a friend, and despite the fact that I disliked people like him, I could tell that he was a good person.
“Did you spend the night alone here? Your boyfriend didn’t accompany you?” His tone turned serious.
I trembled a little as I recalled the scene from yesterday. However, I couldn’t reveal my relationship with Michael to anyone. Besides, we weren’t a couple anyway.
“I don’t have a boyfriend.” I shook my head. That wasn’t a lie technically.
