I slowly lowered my head and looked at Hendrix's pale face due to the sudden pain. I smiled lightly as though I hadn't just stepped on his hand, and I said, "Oh, sorry. I didn't see you."
"It's fine," His voice was so faint that I couldn't figure out any emotion in it.
Walking past him, I went to pour myself a glass of water. Then, I proceeded to sit down on a chair in the ward and began to sip on it.
Hendrix was still crouching. With a straight face, he pulled out the shards of glass that had pierced into his palm.
Blood dripped from his hand and fell on the ground, accumulating into a pool of horrifying liquid.
It seemed like it hurt. But I couldn't feel it.
All I felt was extreme frustration.
When Andrea came into the wardroom and saw Hendrix's badly hurt wound, she almost wanted to tear me up. "Arianna, what did you do?" she barked.
I turned to look out of the window. Judging by the looks of it, it was already quite late into the night. Andrea was more in love with Hendrix than I imagined.
I raised my eyebrows at her while catching sight of Josiah and Austin, who had followed her into the ward.
I smiled softly, "Thank you for coming to see me at this hour. I appreciate it."
Andrea glared at me and crouched down to take a look at Hendrix's injury. At this time, the television in the ward suddenly turned on by itself.
As expected, the video showed Andrea everything she needed to know.
Since I had watched it once before, I was already immune to it. I used the spare time to observe the looks of the other people in the room.
They were scared. They felt pity. They were shocked.
Austin looked at me with a complicated look on his face.
I felt like the play had come to an intermission as soon as Andrea left. I glanced at Hendrix — still crouching on the ground and in an emotional turmoil — and then looked at Josiah, who was still standing by the door throughout the whole scene earlier.
I noticed the sympathy in his eyes. It stung me, and it made me more agitated.
Not wanting to be bothered any further, I decided to call Irvin. Once he picked up the call, I asked, "Are you trying to get rid of me? Don't leave me in the hospital. I'm scared!"
Hendrix glanced at me. His dark eyes were so deep like a void of darkness.
I knew that he was in agony. But that changed nothing.
