Keith was confused in an instant.
What kind of relationship does he have with Jasmine? Heâs even met Jasmineâs mother, he thought to himself.
As long as he had known Jasmine, Jasmine had never talked about her situation. She would just say that she had no other relatives. She said nothing about why her relatives were gone. She knew nothing about the specific situation.
For the moment, it seemed that Boyce knew everything.
Although they knew each other well, Boyce was not the same age as Jasmine and him.
Maybe he was overthinking things.
Besides, since he had already met Jasmineâs mother, he certainly knew Jasmineâs family well.
Thus, he could understand Jasmineâs past.
âYou are Jasmineâs friend. You are her friend and it is understandable that you want to understand her current situation. However, the doctor has said that your condition must be observed for 48 hours, so you canât leave now.â
âIâm fine. I know my own body.â Boyce did not seek Jasmineâs advice and made his decision.
Jasmine glanced at Keith, then looked at Boyce, âWhat are you two doing?â
âHeâs your friend. Thereâs nothing wrong with him wanting to see where you liveâ¦â
âItâs true heâs my friend, butâ¦â Jasmine clearly didnât want Boyce intervening in her life again.
She didnât want that to happen again.
Itâs embarrassing enough as it is.
gαâηÏνððsâ¤com brings your imagination alive If I hadnât written him the letter and not confessed my feelings to him, I wouldnât care.
How am I going to confront him in this situation?
âCanât I go see where you live?â Boyce stood up, âTake me there. Iâll take a look.â
Jasmine froze. Keith touched her arm, âCome on.â
Jasmine was unwilling and looked at Boyce, âYouâre not my relative, so you have no right to interfere with the quality of my life. Donât use what my mother confided in you as a motive. She is already dead. You donât need to keep the promise. Since you are well, you should go back now. There must be a lot of people worried about you.â
As he finished his sentence, he tugged Keithâs hand, âWe should go.â
Keith took one look at her hand tugging on his and froze. He completely forgot to react to the situation and didnât struggle to free himself. He could feel his heartbeat racing.
Boyce stayed in the same spot. It seemed he didnât expect her to refuse his request.
Watching their backs disappearing into the doorway, Boyce forgot about his current situation and didnât know what he should do at that moment.
As they walked out the door, Jasmine let go of Keithâs hand and quickly walked away from the room. Keith lowered his head, looked down at his hand that had been grabbed by Jasmine and held it tightly. He chased after her, âJasmine.â
âWhy do you dislike me so much?â
Jasmine stopped dead in her tracks, turned around and looked at him, âWho says I dislike him?â
âSince you donât dislike him, why did you leave him, while still an injured patient, in the hospital unattended?â. asked Keith.
Jasmine was instantly speechless, âWhat you said is true. Boyce is now a wounded patient. How could I leave him here unattended?
She turned and walked back. Keith continued to follow her, âJasmine, are you coming back?â.
Keith realized that his actions were contradictory. On the one hand, he wanted Boyce to stay so he could pry into Jasmineâs past, but on the other hand he didnât want Jasmine to stay in contact with Boyce.
âSince he and I know each other, it will be inappropriate for me to leave him here alone. Itâs best to wait until he gets better. Then Iâll send him home.â After thinking it over, Jasmine walked even faster.
When she returned to the living room, she noticed that no one was there.
Was he gone?
âThe doctor was making his rounds just now. He may have gone to the doctorâs office,â said the patient who stood next to Boyce.
Jasmine nodded, turned and left the room. She then headed for the doctorâs office.
When she was near the office, she heard the doctorâs voice.
âYou have injured your head. We have examined you and, for the moment, your injuries are superficial. However, we cannot rule out the possibility of a concussion. You will need to go to a hospital that has a good medical team to get checked out. are you uncomfortable?â
Boyce replied, âNo.â
âIf you insist on being discharged, no problem. You can go through the discharge process. If you have headaches, dizziness and nausea, you should go to a hospital for a checkup,â the doctor instructed him.
Boyce said, âSure.â
âThen youâre good to go through the discharge process,â the doctor said. After thanking the doctor, Boyce left the office.
Coincidentally, he saw Jasmine standing in the doorway. He froze for a moment, âJasmine.â
With a smile on her face, Jasmine pretended to be calm and said, âWe know each other, and youâre still hurt. If I leave you here unattended, Iâll have a bad conscience. Since you want to be discharged, Iâll help you through the discharge process. You can sit here and wait. Iâll be back soon.
When he finished speaking, he turned and headed for the department that handled the discharge process.
Boyce looked behind him as if he were in a trance. Keith walked up to him and blocked his view, âHello, how should I address you?â
Keithâs words made Boyce pull himself together. He said calmly, âBoyce.â
âMr. Shawn, can I ask you something?â said Keith.
Boyce frowned. He didnât like the way Keith had addressed him because it made him sound old. However, he didnât say anything about it, âGo ahead and ask.â
Keith deliberated over his words and asked, âWhat kind of relationship do you have with Jasmine? Do you know each other well? You seem to know a lot about her past. Can you tell me things about her past? Why have her relatives disappeared?â.
Boyce was surprised and narrowed his eyes, âYou donât know?
Is it possible he was overthinking things? Isnât this young man her boyfriend?
Keith didnât hide his feelings and said graciously, âI like him.â
