Christina and Patrick looked at each other at the door in a daze.
At this moment, Larry came from behind and shouted breathlessly, "What happened?" He suddenly received a call and rushed over. Finding that Christina and Patrick were here, he got much more nervous.
Christina ignored Patrick's staring but looked at Larry. She said calmly, "Come in, Derek was feeling sick."
As she spoke, she couldn't wait to push Larry in.
Larry and Patrick passed each other at the door of the apartment. Although Larry felt that there was something strange, he was not in the mood to probe now. He immediately went into the house and found that it was in a mess, "Ah! What happened? Who made it?"
Christina turned around and shouted at him. "Forget it! Eric is in the bedroom."
Larry looked flustered. He immediately ran into the room.
Patrick had more doubts about that and wanted to walk in.
But Christina stopped him and gave him an unreliable reason. "Derek doesn't want others to enter his apartment."
Patrick stood face to face with her. His eyes were so deep and sharp that Christina did not dare to look into them. But she still remembered Derek's words "Never let others know." No matter what, this was a promise between her and Derek. She must keep her promise.
Patrick did not break in, but his eyes became much more mixed.
They stood still, while Christina was still trying to close the door. Even if Patrick did not walk in, he could see the mess in the room.
The night was quiet. The light breeze rumpled her long hair.
She looked at him speechlessly and had to lower her head.
Patrick raised his head thoughtfully. He looked at the full moon hanging high in the sky. Tonight was the fifteenth day. The moon was bright and its outline was oozing with a film of scarlet.
Ten minutes later, Larry ran out of the room and told Larry, "His condition is stable now."
"Really?" Obviously, Christina couldn't believe it.
She hesitated. "Shall... Shall we call an ambulance?"
"No."
Larry immediately interrupted her. "Derek asked me to tell you, don't worry. He's fine. He'll recover soon..."
"I must check." Only checking it by herself could Christina believe in it.
Larry scolded her coldly. "Is it appropriate for a married woman to enter a single man's apartment at midnight?"
Christina was annoyed. "It's none of your business." She was about to go in.
Larry was stern. He blocked the door and gave him an earful, "Hurry back. Shall we talk about it tomorrow? Don't stand here. I'm going to lock the door."
As he spoke, Larry looked narrowly at Patrick who was always silent.
Larry was not unwilling to let Christina come in. It was because he was afraid that he couldn't stop Patrick from following her step. Thus, he had no choice but to eject both of them from the apartment.
But Christina would not compromise. "I'll stay here tonight." She had made her decision.
Larry raised his voice and sneered. "You must ask your husband for his agreement."
At this moment, Christina felt a little guilty. She didn't dare to face Patrick now. She knew it was her fault and said, "I, l keep my principle very well. Trust me..."
While Christina was speaking, Larry pushed her hard and slammed the door.
Larry knew how to deal with this tough girl. It didn't work to negotiate with her. The best way was to kick her away.
Christina was stunned by Larry's action.
She punched the door angrily. "You are despicable and shameless! Why did you lock me out? It was me who called you here! Open the door, open the door!"
"I must check Derek!"
All the threats and warnings were useless. Christina kicked the door angrily and warned him, "If anything happens to Derek, I'll tear you apart tomorrow!"
Larry snorted disdainfully inside the room.
Christina walked out of the apartment with Patrick silently in a mixed feeling.
