-20 minutes?" Cristian's tone clearly sounded a bit annoyed, and Serena had to hurry to explain, "I was just passing by the supermarket and wanted to stop and get something, so since you're in front of my door, why can't you wait for me for a while?
-Which supermarket are you in? I'm coming to pick you up now.
-Serena rejected Cristian's panicked request.
If Cristian came to her, would Serena's lie be exposed? Serena took a deep breath and tried to calm herself.
-There is no need to pick me up, I will be back soon after my shopping. If you think it will be a long wait, you can go home early and I'll see you later.
After Serena said this, Cristian was silent for a long time before agreeing.
-All right.
After hanging up the phone, Serena breathed a sigh of relief, covered her chest and felt her heart pounding.
Serena did not want to keep lying like this, because if she lied too much, she would feel guilty later.
But at that moment Serena did not dare to tell Cristian the truth. According to Cristian's character, if Serena said that she was in the hospital, then Cristian would immediately run to the hospital, and if Cristian found out that Serena had come to see Leonardo, then things would become even more complicated.
Even though Serena knew that she should not have come to see Leonardo, she could not be so cruel.
So Serena told herself that she would leave as soon as she could confirm to the doctors that Leonardo's life was not in danger.
-Mrs. Serena, is there any company business to attend to at this time? When Serena ended her call, Caesar could not help but ask.
Hearing her ask this question, Serena shot her a look: -No, it's someone from my family, what's wrong?
-Nothing, I thought you still had some unfinished business from work, if so I feel a little embarrassed to keep you here in the hospital again," Caesar smiled and could not resist asking again, "By the way, may I ask you if you have a boyfriend?
Serena said, "Your question is a little strange."
-What?
-We don't know Mr. Leonardo's health right now, and you shouldn't ask me such questions.
Serena's eyes were sharp and a cold sweat broke out on Caesar's back. He laughed awkwardly and wiped the sweat that had risen on her forehead, -Haha, I was just asking on the spur of the moment, I didn't know what to say, anyway, if it bothers you then I won't say anything later, I'm so sorry,‖ he said to Serena.
Serena did not answer anything, she stood at the door of the room and waited.
Neither of them said anything, the atmosphere was strangely silent, and Caesar looked at the cold side of Serena's face, but did not dare to speak.
So the two have waited and did not know how much time passed before the doctor finally left the room.
-Who is the patient's family member?
Serena remained still, and when Caesar saw that he said nothing, she had to answer the doctor first.
-Hello doctor, I am a friend of the patient, his family is not here at the moment, can you tell us about his condition.
-The patient is suffering from acute gastroenteritis and is fine now. He will be admitted to the hospital for observation and if his condition improves in the afternoon he will be able to leave the hospital, young people should pay more attention to their eating habits.
-Yes, thank you doctor, I will pass on the message.
After the doctor left, Caesar was about to enter the room when he realized that Serena had not followed him, he could not help but look at Serena.
-Mrs. Serena, won't you come in and see Mr. Leonardo?
Serena smiled, -Since there is nothing serious about Mr. Leonardo, I won't come in.
-This...
-Please take care of Mr. Leonardo. I have things to do at home, so I will leave right away.
