“What’s going on?”
Janiya was very curious and wanted to see what was happening, but her injuries made it hard for her to walk, so she could only Lay in bed behind the screen.
Caleb’s eyes were cold and his Lips were pursed, as though he didn’t intend to answer Janiya’s question. Suddenly, a thought seemed to occur to him. His expression changed and he groaned in pain.
“Oh, no! My hand got cut by the shards. I have to see a doctor!”
“What? How did that happen?”
Janiya struggled to poke her head out from behind the screen. I could see that she was worried about Caleb. But because of the bad angle, she couldn’t see the situation clearly.
“Is it serious?” she asked anxiously.
I looked down at Caleb’s perfectly fine, unscathed hands.
What on earth was he doing? Why was he Lying to her?
“Caleb’s fine. I don’t see any wounds on his hands,” I said dryly, exposing his lie.
Caleb was so anxious that his hand shot out to cover my mouth, but I dodged him easily.
He had no choice but to beg me to cooperate in a low voice.
“Debra, just trust me.”
I shook my head decisively. “Why should I? You’re acting so immature.”
I just didn’t understand why he lied to Janiya. The two were about to get married for crying out loud.
“Really? Are you okay, Caleb? Come here. Let me have a look at your hands.”
Janiya seemed to still be worried and struggled to come over to check the situation. All of a sudden, Caleb gritted his teeth and reached out his hand to grab the shards.
“What the hell is he doing? You have to stop him! He’s going to hurt himself!” Ivy barked in my mind, frightened out of her wits
I grabbed his hand and scolded, “Are you out of your goddamned mind?
Your recklessness is going to get you injured!”
But instead of getting indignant, Caleb just chuckled. Then he looked over his shoulder at Janiya and said, “I’m bleeding, Janiya. I have to go out and find a doctor. Just stay here. I’ll ask Debra to leave too.
I don’t want her to disturb your rest. A nurse will come later to clean the ward for you.”
After saying that, he dragged me out of the ward without waiting for
Janiya’s response.
When I saw his bleeding hand, I couldn’t help but pull a long face.
