At a certain hospital.
Ansel has been by Agnes's side these days, like a buddy, always there to offer snacks and tell jokes. Despite Agnes finding him childish, he continued to be attentive.
"Ansel, aren't you tired?" the girl leaned against the bedpost, a hint of exhaustion in her smile.
"Not at all, not at all," Ansel adored her, having liked her since childhood, always talkative in her presence.
"Aren't you busy at home? You're always here with me."
"Not busy at all."
At that moment, the door creaked open, and Andrew entered with a can in hand, surprised to find this guy still here.
Ansel glanced up, and the two men's gazes locked once again.
Ansel's smile faded, a sense of unease washing over him. Could this be a love rival? Employed at Marsh Group, a favorite of Mr. Marsh, good-looking and talented, all while making canned goods daily!
"Miss Bubu, I was passing by and decided to drop in, bringing a can for you," Andrew said.
Glancing at the guy, Andrew then focused his gaze back on the girl, inquiring, "Has the doctor said when you can be discharged?"
Ansel muttered under his breath, "Passing by? Bringing canned goods!"
"It should be in the next couple of days, I'm feeling much better, thank you, Andrew," Agnes said. Her cheeks dimpled when she smiled.
Andrew placed the can on the bedside table, noticing Ansel still watching him. Their gazes locked again.
Looking from the girl by the bedside to Ansel, Andrew asked, "Is he your boyfriend?"
"Yes."
