Eugene exhaled in resignation. “Fine. I’ll stay here until your surgery is done.” Hearing his affirmative answer, Azalea smiled. “Really? Thank you, Eugene.” He said, “If it weren’t because of me, none of this would have happened.”
Hayes stood up to take his leave. “Alright. You guys go ahead. I’ll look into this. My men have started the investigations. You can take a break if you want, Eugene. You don’t have to stay here all the time.”
“Sure,” Eugene responded. Silence filled the room as soon as Hayes made his way out of the ward. Azalea asked, “Will your girlfriend take this the wrong way?”
She’s going to take it the wrong way if she sees us together without knowing what’s going on. Hayes should have told me about this. He said, “I’ll explain to her when I get home.”
She gave him an apologetic look. “Why don’t I call her?”
“There’s no need for that,” he answered curtly. That’ll just make the misunderstanding worse. She’s going to read into this too much.
“Alright, I’m sorry,” she said sheepishly.
However, her apology only made him feel even more frustrated. “Why are you apologizing? I should be the one doing that. I got you the cab. That’s why you got in danger. If something were to happen to you, I’m not sure I could live with this guilt.” I’m glad it didn’t come to that.
