Ethan was almost certain that something had happened between Josephine and Yvan. Whatever it was, it affected her more deeply than what had happened with Zayn.
When they arrived at the hospital, Zayn was immediately wheeled into the emergency room.
Josephine could only wait outside. As she sat there, her phone rang. It was Yvan.
"The insurance company has taken over the case. Zayn was completely at fault. Luckily, the other driver wasn't hurt. I've settled it privately with some compensation. How is he?" Yvan asked.
"He's being treated. The doctor said his injuries aren't too serious but they need to run more tests on his head injury. You should come to the hospital," she replied.
"I'm on my way now." Yvan paused for a moment before adding, "Hey, Josephine."
She tensed up at the sudden shift in his tone. "What?"
"You didn't cry, did you?" he asked.
Josephine's cheeks flushed slightly. "Of course not. Why would I cry for him?"
"Good. That brat is tough. He'll be fine."
Ten minutes later, Yvan arrived at the hospital.
As he stepped onto the second-floor corridor, his gaze landed on Josephine. She sat on a bench with a man he vaguely recognized.
The two sat closely together. Something about the sight unsettled him.
He knew Josephine well. She was introverted and kept her distance from strangers, especially men. For her to sit this close to someone meant that she considered him a friend and trusted him.
"How is he?" Yvan asked as he walked over. He casually took the seat on Josephine's other side and handed her a steaming cup of tea.
Josephine, too preoccupied with worrying about Zayn, accepted it without hesitation.
