Barbara looked at her and said, “You’re jealous.”
Ryleigh froze. It took her quite a while before she finally came around to her senses. She picked up a
pillow and threw it at Barbara. “Are you here to laugh at me?”
Barbara picked the pillow up and put it back on the bed. “Aright, alright. After all, Louis saved you.
Besides, you aren’t as seriously injured as he is, so I think you should check him out.”
Ryleigh did not reply. In the evening, Ryleigh walked toward Louis’s ward. She hesitated for a long while
in front of the door before she finally turned the doorknob.
Louis was reading a magazine on the bed. There was a gauze on his cheek and a bruise on the corner
of his lips. He was stunned for a moment when he lifted his head and saw Ryleigh. After that, he put the
magazine on the side and asked, “What brought you here?” Ryleigh stopped in front of his bed. She was
so nervous that she did not know where to put her hands. In the end, she clasped them in front of her
and said, “I’m here to visit you, of course.” Louis chuckled. “I thought you had forgotten about it.” Ryleigh
replied in a muffled voice, “Do I look like an ingrate to you?”
Louis nodded. “Well, you are.” Ryleigh wanted to say something in return, but she did not do so in the
end. She turned her face sideways and said, “I’ll let you off this time since you’re injured.”
Suddenly, Louis reached out to her.
“What?” Ryleigh asked, her voice filled with confusion. “I want to get off the bed, so help me,” he replied.
“I remember you didn’t injure your legs, right?” Ryleigh asked again in confusion.
He chuckled lightly and said, “Is this how you treat someone who saved your life?” Ryleigh was stumped.
She walked forward and grabbed Louis’ arm. Louis turned around and sat at the side of the bed. Since
there was an IV drip hanging from the back of his hand, Ryleigh picked up the bottle for him.
Perhaps it was because he was too tall and the bottle was held low that the blood flowed back into the
infusion tube.
He hissed out in pain and looked at her. “Blood.”
It was only then that Ryleigh raised her arm higher. The blood flowed back from the infusion tube, but
there was still some leftover in it.
“Can you lower your arm a little bit?” Ryleigh asked, looking a little flustered.
Louis took a deep breath and took over the bottle in her hand. He raised it slightly, and the blood flowed
back into the veins.
Ryleigh was rendered speechless.
She followed behind Louis, and Louis suddenly stopped. He turned sideways and looked at her. “Are you
going to follow me into the restroom?”
Ryleigh was stunned, and it was only then that she noticed that he was heading toward the restroom.
Her face burned red with embarrassment, and she turned around. “You should have told me earlier!”
Louis chuckled and walked into the restroom.
Ryleigh fanned herself with her hand to calm herself down. She felt embarrassed.
She glanced toward the restroom, and something she had seen on the Internet popped up in her head.
‘Would a man like him poop? What would he look like when he’s pooping? Would he sit on the toilet and
say, “Be a good boy and come out of yourself!” with an evil grin on his lips?’
Pfft!
Ryleigh giggled at her own thoughts. The scene was so bizarre that she hastily killed the thought.
It was only when she heard the sound of flushing water that she lowered her head and held her giggle
back.
Louis noticed something and turned his head around to look at her through squinted eyes. “What are you
laughing at?”
Ryleigh raised her head and pushed all the thoughts to the back of her mind. She replied with a serious
face, “Nothing.”
Louis studied her for a while and then said meaningfully, “You didn’t…”
“Huh?” Ryleigh blinked her eyes.
He paused for a while before continuing.” You didn’t peek when I was in the
restroom, right?”
