When I slowly opened my eyes, I was surrounded by a dazzling white, with a faint smell of disinfectant in the air.
I realized I was lying in a hospital bed, and beside the bed, surprisingly, was Jack.
Seeing me awake, he forced a smile on his face, holding a bowl of steaming porridge in his hand.
“Emily, you’re awake. I specially prepared this seafood porridge for you, but don’t worry, there’s no seafood in it. I know you don’t like it.”
His words carried a hint of flattery, but the bowl of porridge looked particularly glaring to me.
“Seafood porridge? How can you call it seafood porridge without seafood?”
I responded with a cold laugh, unable to hide my disgust.
“Jack, your concern is too cheap. I don’t want to eat anything right now, especially not something you brought.”
His expression changed slightly, looking a bit guilty, but he quickly regained his composure.
“Emily, don’t be like this. I know I’ve done many wrong things before, but I really hope you can give me a chance…”
“A chance?” I interrupted him, my voice full of sarcasm.
“I’ve given you too many chances, but you never seized any of them. Now, I don’t want to give anymore.

After they left, I called for takeout and ate something simple.
After finishing the IV drip, I found the doctor to inquire about my condition.

Dr. Ryan suddenly changed the subject, his face showing a hint of curiosity, “He was intimately close with that woman, the one who came in earlier, in the corridor just now. They even kissed in front of your hospital bed. I can’t believe he could do such a thing at a time like this.”

Dr. Ryan and I had an enjoyable dinner at a worn restaurant.
After dinner, we took a walk to aid digestion. When it was about time, Dr. Ryan drove me home.
