"Gwenda..."
Unwilling to hear more from Martin, Gwenda pressed on the call button beside the bed and said to the nurse, "Hello, there are two strangers in my ward. Could you please send them away? They are disrupting my rest!"
Not long after, the nurse came in and said, "This is a hospital ward! Please leave immediately!" driving them out effectively.
...
As they left, hatred flashed through Gwenda's eyes as she sneered in thought.
"What a shameless pair!"
Looking at the closed ward door, Gretchen began to sob.
...
Feeling bad for her, Martin reached out to bring her into his arms. "Alright now, you don't have to take her words to heart."
"Martin..." Gretchen called out softly to him with tears rolling about in her eyes. She looked so pitiful.
...
...
Moved by this sight, Martin felt hot all over with his throat going dry. "Did she hurt you?"
"No, but my sister, she..."
"Don't worry about her. Since the cat's out of the bag, just let her be. I'll talk to her in a few days."
"I didn't mean to hurt her..." Gretchen sobbed miserably.
...
"It's not your fault."
Martin soothed her gently, "Alright, stop crying. I'll take you home first. Okay?"
Gretchen sniffed. "Okay."
"C'mon." Martin had an arm around her as they walked toward the lift.
But at this time, a man passing by suddenly bumped into Martin.
