Bradley was supposed to stay in the hospital for a few more days. But just because of Hazel, Bradley pulled out the needle and left the hospital. Behind him were a dozen doctors and nurses chasing after him.
When Hazel saw that Elaine laughed from time to time and seemed in a good mood, she felt that Mark was overreacting.
Mark curled his lips noncommittally.
Hazel turned on the TV. Just as Elaine saw what was playing on TV, she hugged the pillow and started to laugh, "It's so funny. That sheep looks so funny!" She went almost hysterical with laughter.
Hazel looked at the TV. It was an animated cartoon film for children. It was not that funny. Why did Elaine laugh like this?
***
"Isn't that funny? Isn't it very interesting?" She went on laughing like that.
Elaine smiled exaggeratedly and asked Mark beside her.
Mark glanced at Elaine and did not say anything.
Mark didn't understand what Elaine was laughing at. He just thought that she looked crazy.
The food was ready. Bradley clapped his hands and shouted happily, "Come on. The food is ready. Have a taste of the food I cooked! Come on! It's time to eat!"
Mark touched Elaine. Elaine looked as if she was still attracted by the cartoon. She smiled and walked to the dining room.
They sat down. Bradley smiled and said, "Let me tell you first. I rarely cook. You guys are so lucky that I cooked for you today. If it's too delicious, don't be surprised and just take it easy. Don't eat too much."
As soon as he finished speaking, Elaine held her bowl and giggled.
"That's funny! The way Mr. Hughes talks are funny."
Hazel showed the whites of her eyes and said, "What's so funny? I think he's a talker, a slick one."
Mark looked at Elaine and bit his chopsticks.
Elaine was eating when she suddenly said, "Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom." She finished the sentence with some more laughing.
Then, she laughed strangely and ran to the bathroom.
Hazel lowered her voice and said to the two men, "Hey, don't you think she's very strange? Why doesn't she look lovelorn? Instead, she looks like a psychopath! I get goosebumps when I hear her laugh."
Bradley nodded and imitated Hazel's tone. He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "She looked exceedingly hurt! Is she okay?"
Mark sighed. He suddenly said, "I feel like I must make a move. In this situation, I need to make a move and take advantage of this opportunity."
Hazel hit Mark's chopsticks with her chopsticks. "Nonsense! If Elaine and Emmett break up, I agree that you should take advantage of the opportunity! Hurry up! Save her out of the misery."
Bradley didn't know what to say.
He didn't know why Hazel had so many strange thoughts.
"What took her so long in the bathroom? You two eat first. I'll go and see her."
Hazel muttered as she stood up and walked inside.
Hazel walked to the bathroom and leaned on the door first to listen. Then, she tried to open the door.
The door wasn't locked. She turned the handle gently. The door opened.
***
When she pushed the door open and entered, she saw Elaine leaning in front of the washstand, with her eyes shut and clenched teeth. Elaine was crying, all by herself!
Tears kept coming out of her eyes!
Hazel was stunned. She immediately felt heartbroken. She took a step forward and hugged Elaine from behind. She felt sour in her nose. "Silly girl, tell me if you're sad. Why did you hide here and cry? Fool! You are such a big fool..."
Elaine's body trembled violently. She turned around and hugged Hazel hard and tightly. She cried out slowly, "Hazel! I feel like I'm going to die! ! I'm so sad! I don't want to live anymore! I'm too tired. Too tired!"
Hazel's eyes turned red as she gently patted Elaine, "Idiot. Don't say that! It's not a big deal at all. It's alright! You'll soon forget him. You will be fine."
"No! I can't forget him! I know myself. I can't forget him!" She wouldn't stop weeping.
Hazel finally lost control of her tears and began to cry.
Because she suddenly thought of Lucas.
She understood the feeling of losing control.
Elaine wanted to return to her normal life. She wanted to continue her life like her classmates. She did everything as usual as if nothing had happened.
She kept herself busy, almost like a nonstop top.
Whenever she had time, she went to extracurricular activities. When she returned to the dormitory, she washed clothes and cleaned the room like crazy.
During those few days, the dormitory that Hazel and she lived in was as clean as a five-star hotel.
Mark had been with Elaine all the time. People could always see Mark around Elaine except for class time.
