Chapter 2659
"They’re used to Tia bringing them to school, so there's no doubt they're dependent on her." Martin smiled and approached Tia's bedside. "How are you feeling?"
"I feel much better now. I could be discharged tomorrow," Tia replied.
"May I ask who this is?" Cherry found Martin familiar, but she just could not recognize him.
"His name is Martin, and he's in the medical profession," Tia introduced. She did not mention Martin's background as he did not like to brag about it outside.
"Her name is Cherry, Stanley's..." Tia paused and changed what she was going to say. "She's Stanley's friend."
Tia originally wanted to say Cherry was Stanley's girlfriend, but Tia did not know if Stanley wanted to make the information public, so she paused before saying it out loud.
"Hi." Cherry instantly remembered when she heard Martin's name, but she played along and did not expose his hidden identity.
"Hi there," Martin responded, looking at Stanley meaningfully.
Noticing Tia's pause, Martin analyzed that even if Cherry were not Stanley's girlfriend, Cherry would not be Stanley's normal colleague either. It was the first time Martin saw a girl together with Stanley.
Martin had no interest in identifying the relationship between Stanley and Cherry. He was just curious since Stanley used to take good care of Tia. Martin wondered if it was just pure concern for Tia.
Cherry was also silently eyeing Martin. 'Tia called him by his name. What relationship do they have? Tia seemed to give him special treatment and called his name.'
"Ms. Jean, thank you so much for visiting me. Actually, I feel all better now," Tia thanked.
Snapping back to reality, Cherry chuckled. "Don't sweat it. We're friends after all." She then placed a fruit basket on Tia’s bedside. "Here you go, a little something for you."
"Thank you."
