Chapter 925
Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire
After a moment of silent contemplation, Jared finally made up his mind. âVery well. I shall head home now, Harvey. The examâs on Monday, so Iâll have to revise for it.â
âGo ahead,â Harvey replied, waving his hand as Jared took his leave.
When he saw Carter still in the room, Harvey added, âYou should go too. Isnât Rocher Private Hospital planning to open a few other branches? Donât waste your time on a stubborn fellow like me when you have more important matters to tend to.â
âOh? But are you sure youâll go along with the hospital treatment?â
âOh, for crying out loud, yes! Stop treating me like a child.â
âFine,â Carter answered, feeling a lot more relieved. âCall me if you need anything. Iâll go back to work now.â
âYes, hurry up and get lost. I want to get some rest.â
With that, Carter gave a quick nod and left.
Harvey closed his eyes, but his hearing remained alert to the sounds outside his ward.
When the sound of footsteps completely disappeared, Harveyâs eyes shot open, only to land on the wheelchair beside his bed.
I canât believe they even prepared a wheelchair for me. I had heart surgery, for goodnessâ sake! Itâs not like my legs are gone.
Bristling with irritation, Harvey lightly pressed against his wound as he struggled to get out of bed.
After opening the door and making sure no one was looking, he hurried toward the staircase.
Even though it was only a short flight of steps, it took Harvey more than ten minutes to make his way upstairs.
Arielle⦠I wonder which ward sheâs in.
Just as Harvey was about to knock on every door till he found the right one, Jordanâs voice boomed out from one of the wards. âAh, I remember! The value of pi is 3.18! Isnât that right?â
Harveyâs eyes lit up as he quickly walked toward the ward.
As expected, Arielleâs voice rang out. âNo, itâs 3.14⦠Jordan, why donât you head home if youâre bored? I can stay here by myself.â
âNo way. Youâre seriously ill, and Vin isnât around. If I leave, youâd be all alone.â
Harveyâs brow knitted into a frown after he heard Jordanâs words.
Seriously ill? She did look rather pale when I saw her the last time. What illness is she suffering from, though?
Harvey remained deep in thought when a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.
He whipped his head around and got the shock of his life when he realized it was Carter.
âYâYouââ
However, before he could get any more words out, Carter had covered his mouth. âHush. Follow me downstairs.â
Two minutes later, they were both back in Harveyâs ward.
Carter looked on incredulously as Harvey climbed into bed. âYouâre clearly still concerned about her, yet you keep whining about not wanting her medicine. Harvey Jupiter, whatâs the matter with you?â
âIâ¦â Harvey muttered, his face turning red as a tomato. âItâs none of your business! Besides, you got it all wrong! I wasnât showing concern. I was just curious!â
âOh, yeah? If that were the case, you wouldnât have dragged yourself upstairs in this condition. Arielle fainted from overexertion, but sheâs free to leave after her IV drip.â
âDidnât I say I wasnât interested in her? Why are you telling me this?â
âBecause youâre still feeling weak! I canât have you wandering about in this condition,â Carter scolded.
Then he heaved a sigh. âForget it. Do whatever you like. However, if youâre keen on saving this friendship, Iâd strongly advise you to talk it out with her.â
Harvey once again furrowed his brows. âI already said Iâm not interested! How many times must I repeat myself? Why would I bother myself with a married woman? Just wait and see. Iâll find myself a girlfriend as soon as I get discharged!â
Carter said with a smirk, âThat better be the case. All right, I have to get going now. Have a good rest.â
