Keith was confused in an instant. ‘What kind of relationship does he have with Jasmine? He has even
met Jasmine’s mother?’ He thought to himself.
Since he had known Jasmine, Jasmine had never talked about her situation. She simply said that she
had no more relatives. She didn’t say anything about the reason why her relatives were gone. He knew
nothing about the specific situation.
At the moment, it seemed that Boyce knew everything.
Although they knew each other well, Boyce was not the same age as Jasmine and him.
Perhaps he was overthinking things.
Moreover, since he had met Jasmine’s mother before, he definitely knew Jasmine’s family well.
That way, he could understand Jasmine’s past.
“You are Jasmine’s friend. It is understandable that you want to understand her current living situation.
However, the doctor said that your health condition should be observed for 48 hours so you cannot
leave now.”
“I am fine. I am familiar with my own body.” Boyce didn’t seek Jasmine’s advice and made his decision.
Jasmine took a look at Keith and then looked at Boyce, “What are the two of you doing?”
“He is your friend. There is nothing wrong with him wanting to see where you live…”
“It is true that he is my friend, but…” Jasmine clearly didn’t want Boyce to intervene in her life again.
She didn’t want that to happen again.
‘It is already embarrassing enough.’
‘If I didn’t write the letter to him and didn’t confess my feelings, I don’t mind it. How am I going to face
him in this situation?’
“Can’t I go and see where you live?” Boyce stood up, “Bring me there. I will have a look at it.”
Jasmine stood there motionless. Keith touched her arm, “Let’s go.”
Jasmine was unwilling to do it and looked at Boyce, “You are not my relative, so you don’t have the
right to interfere with the quality of my life. Don’t use what my mother entrusted to you as a reason. She
is already dead. You don’t need to keep the promise. Since you are fine, you should go back now.
There should be many people who are worried about you.”
After she had finished her sentence, she pulled Keith’s hand, “We should go.”
Keith looked at her hand that was pulling his hand and froze. He totally forgot to react to the situation
and didn’t struggle to break free. He could feel his accelerated heartbeat.
Boyce stood on the same spot. It seemed that he didn’t expect her to reject his request.
Looking at their backs that disappeared at the door, Boyce forgot about his current situation and didn’t
know what he should do at that moment.
After they had walked out of the door, Jasmine let go of Keith’s hand and quickly walked away from the
ward. Keith lowered his head, glanced at his hand that had been clutched by Jasmine and held it
tightly. He chased after her, “Jasmine.”
“Why do you dislike him so much?”
Jasmine stopped in her tracks, turned around and looked at him, “Who says that I dislike him?”
“Since you don’t dislike him, why did you leave him, who is still an injured patient, in the hospital
unattended?” Keith questioned.
Jasmine was instantly at a loss for words, ‘What he said is true. Boyce is an injured patient now. How
could I leave him here unattended?’
She turned around and walked back. Keith continued to follow her, “Jasmine, are you going back?”
Keith noticed that his actions were contradictory. On the one hand he wanted Boyce to stay so that he
could pry into Jasmine’s past out of him, but on the other hand he didn’t want Jasmine to keep in
contact with Boyce.
“Since he and I know each other, it will be inappropriate for me to leave him here alone. It is better to
wait for him to get better. I will then send him home.” After she had thought it through, Jasmine walked
even more quickly.
After she had returned to the ward, she noticed that there was no one there.
‘Did he leave?’
“The doctor was making his rounds just now. He might have gone to the doctor’s office,” the patient
who was staying beside Boyce said.
Jasmine nodded, turned around and walked out of the ward. Then, she walked towards the doctor’s
office.
When she was near the office, she heard the doctor’s voice.
“You have injured your head. We have examined you, and as it stands now, your injuries are
superficial. However, we cannot rule out the possibility of a concussion. You will need to go to a
hospital that has good medical equipment for a check-up. Do you feel uncomfortable?”
Boyce answered, “No.”
“If you insist on being discharged, that is fine. You can go through the discharge process. If you have
headaches, dizziness and nausea, you should go to a hospital for a check-up,” the doctor instructed.
Boyce said, “Sure.”
“Then, you can go through the discharge process now,” the doctor said. After he had thanked the
doctor, Boyce exited the office.
Coincidentally, he saw Jasmine standing at the door. He froze for a moment, “Jasmine.”
With a smile on her face, Jasmine pretended to be calm and said, “We know each other, and you are
still injured. If I leave you here unattended, I will have a guilty conscience. Since you want to be
discharged, I will help you to go through the discharge process. You can sit here and wait. I will be back
soon.”
After she had finished talking, she turned around and walked towards the department that handled the
discharge process.
Boyce gazed at her back as if he was in a trance. Keith walked up to him and blocked his view, “Hi,
how should I address you?”
Keith’s words made Boyce recollect himself. He said calmly, “Boyce.”
“Mr. Shawn, can I ask you something?” Keith said.
Boyce frowned. He didn’t like the way Keith had addressed him because it made him seem old.
However, he didn’t say anything about it, “Go ahead and ask.”
Keith deliberated on his words and asked, “What kind of relationship do you have with Jasmine? Do the
two of you know each other well? You seem to know a lot about her past. Can you tell me things about
her past? Why are her relatives gone?”
Boyce was surprised and narrowed his eyes, “Don’t you know?”
‘Is it possible that I was overthinking things? This young man is not her boyfriend?”
Keith didn’t hide his feelings and said graciously, “I like her.”
