Could it be that he still had feelings for Sherilyn?
"Alright then."
Gilbert, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, pointed to Sherilyn's right hand. "Her hand's injured. You better rush her to the hospital."
"What?" At that, Edgar was shocked.
He hurriedly looked at Sherilyn, and upon seeing her hand, he clenched his teeth and smacked his forehead in frustration. "Damn it!"
He hadn't noticed Sherilyn's injury!
"Don't!"
Sherilyn quickly grabbed him. What was there to blame himself for?
"Let me see."
Edgar, afraid to hurt her, reached out his hand tentatively. "Where's the injury? How did it happen? Is it bad?"
"Here..."
Sherilyn lifted her right hand towards him. "Cut by glass. It's not serious..."
"How can it not be serious? You're bleeding so much..."
"Ah."
Perhaps Edgar accidentally touched the wound, causing Sherilyn to let out a soft cry.
This turned Edgar pale. "You say it's not serious? We need to get to the hospital, now!"
Carefully supporting her arm, he said, "Let's go, slowly... I've got you."
Turning around, something suddenly struck Edgar, and he looked at Gilbert. "Gilbert, thanks, I've got to..."
"I get it."
Before he could finish, Gilbert waved him off. "Just go."
Sherilyn's hand was what mattered.
"Alright Gilbert, we're heading out. Sherilyn, let's go."
And Sherilyn, since the moment Edgar arrived, hadn't given Gilbert another glance, not until they left.
Watching their retreating figures, Gilbert let out a self-mocking laugh.
