"You should take some rest so that your wounds can heal up faster. I consulted with your doctor and he told me that you still need to be under observation for at least one more day. If you're feeling better by tomorrow, then maybe you can get discharged from the hospital. For now, please take a good night's rest. I'll be heading out first!"
Terence informed her as he grabbed her hands and took them off of him.
Bonnie desperately wanted to pull him back closer, but she decided it would be best if she didn't. That man didn't like to be bound tightly by anyone and she knew that full well.
"... Well, would you be back tomorrow to come and pick me up?" Bonnie softly said, lowering her head and looking so down.
"I'm not sure yet. I'll see. If I have the time, I'll come over tomorrow and fetch you myself. But in case I don't, I'll have Nathan come by," Terence answered in a deadpan tone, looking her in the eyes.
Bonnie didn't say a word, but she just bobbed her head gently.
Listening to sound of his footsteps growing softer, Bonnie carefully went back to her sick bed feeling so miserable and helpless.
There was just no way she'd let it slip. She had to find out no matter what who the woman who smeared chili oil all over her face today was. No chance in hell she'd let her off lightly!

Carla went back to her apartment carrying a large bag of groceries on her hand. It was currently four o'clock in the afternoon, which meant Sean would be coming home from school in just about an hour.
She headed straight toward the kitchen to store the perishable goods in the refrigerator, and then she proceeded to wash the fruits and put them on the table.
After that, she went ahead and washed the rice, and placed it on the rice cooker.
Sean was steadily getting bigger, so he usually shouted "Hungry" as soon as he got back home from school. So, basically, what Carla usually did was to prepare the meals early so that by the time Sean arrived, the food would be just the right temperature for him and he could go ahead and eat immediately.
After she was done preparing the food, Carla had nothing else left to do, so she decided to take a bath first and intended to go to sleep a bit early.
She just came by yesterday and she was barely able to get any sleep at all last night, so she was feeling a little lethargic and drowsy.
When Carla came out of the bathroom after she was done taking a shower, she was wearing nothing except for a bath towel. She was startled when she noticed a man sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed in the living room and casually watching the financial news. It was none other than Terence.
The moment Terence heard her coming out from the bathroom, he instinctively looked away from the TV and focused his gaze upon her and their eyes met.
"You... How the heck were you able to find me?"
Carla was frozen in place by the bathroom door out of surprise, 'How can this man come and go anywhere he pleases with such ease?'
Terence's eyes wandered all over her body without even attempting to hide it. Putting the remote control down on the table, he stared at her with a devilish grin, "This is JA City, and it's my territory. Of course, I'll be able to quickly find anything that I want."
And just as he said, he was easily able to get a hold of the key to her apartment.
