Nathan, with a mischievous grin, taunted, "You're as weak as a kitten. You couldn't even tickle me if you tried."
Cameron, however, wore a puzzled expression. He knew full well the force behind his punch just moments ago.
When the doctors and nurses arrived to break up their scuffle, Cameron found himself awkwardly seated on the floor, while Nathan was leaning against the wall, looking a bit worse for wear.
"Who's hurt?" the doctor inquired.
Both of them pointed at each other. Nathan quipped, "Look at him, his face is as swollen as a pumpkin. I'm perfectly fine."
The medical staff turned their attention to Cameron. But with a sly smirk, Cameron said, "He took more hits than I did, but his bruises aren't visible. Better check him first."
The doctor, standing between them, sighed, "Do you two want an examination or not? Stop wasting our time."
Cameron kept quiet.
Nathan flat-out refused, "I've got my own doctor. No need for your check-up."
Cameron looked at him incredulously, "Are you nuts? You're already in a hospital. Why bother with a private doctor?"
"None of your business."
"What if you try to pin this on me later?" Cameron asked.
Nathan replied, "I won't hold you responsible."
Cameron was taken aback. Nathan was notorious for holding grudges, so why was he dodging the doctors today?
"Got something you don't want anyone to see?" Cameron blurted out.
A fleeting look of panic crossed Nathan's face, "I just don't like exposing myself to others. Unlike you, Mr. Exhibitionist."
Cameron retorted, "What kind of doctor are you? Calling me a playboy, huh?"
"Isn't that what you are?"
