“I’m fine.” Viola glanced back slightly, “How did you know I was here?”
She had been walking aimlessly for an hour, thinking about her life along the way.
Just as she was about to find a hotel to stay at, Terrence Lentz’s car stopped.
Seeing him at this moment suddenly warmed her heart.
It was a strange feeling.
“Just passing by.” Terrence Lentz’s tone was low, offering no further explanation.
Just passing by?
Adam Swantz, who was driving, curled his lips.
He had met a new Terrence Lentz, who lied without blushing or skipping a beat.
Right now, Terrence Lentz appeared no different than usual.
But an hour ago, he had been lying in a hospital bed, with an attack of leg pain that left his face pale as a sheet.
A few doctors discussed the options, trying to alleviate his pain.
But Terrence Lentz looked up at Adam and said, “Come with me to the Thompson Clan.”
No matter how the doctors tried to stop him, he couldn’t let go of that idea.
Adam was very worried and repeatedly promised Terrence that he would bring Viola back himself and not let her suffer any grievances.
But Terrence insisted on picking up Viola himself.
Helpless, Adam had to accompany Terrence here.
“Oh.” Viola nodded slightly.
There was silence for a few seconds.
The man spoke again, “Shall we go to my place first?”
Before Viola could respond, Terrence explained, “It’s my house in the Western Suburb.’
“Meow! ”
At that moment, Mantou leaped up and jumped onto Terrence’s body.
It rubbed against Terrence’s chest.
Terrence patted Mantou’s little head, looking at Adam, “To the Western
Suburb.’
“All right.”
The car sped at a moderate pace.
About half an hour later, they stopped in front of an apartment building.
Adam opened the car door and was about to push the wheelchair out when Terrence stood up from it.
“Terrence?” Adam looked at him in surprise.
Terrence lifted his right hand weakly, indicating that he was all right.
Viola got out of the car as well.
At this moment, Terrence, who was walking ahead, suddenly tilted his body, almost falling to the ground.
Excruciating pain.
Beads of sweat the size of soybeans instantly appeared on Terrence’s forehead.
“Careful.” Viola immediately took a step forward, supporting his waist. From behind, it looked as if Terrence was holding her in his arms.
Terrence, at 192cm tall, towered over the 170cm tall Viola, making her look somewhat delicate and vulnerable.
Viola supported his waist with one hand while holding his hand with the other. Terrence leaned his entire body on her, unable to muster any strength, his consciousness somewhat blurry.
“Are you okay?”
The faint fragrance in the air brought Terrence’s mind back into focus. A few tendrils of tender feelings brushed past his nose, and the faint scent became even clearer. “I’m fine.’
“Terrence! ”
Adam was also taken aback. After parking the car, he hurried over.
“Miss Thompson, let me help Terrence.”
Viola was too thin, looking less than 90 pounds. Terrence weighed over 170 pounds, his muscular body made Adam worry that she wouldn’t be able to support him.
“You go open the door.”
“All right!” Adam ran to open the buildings door.
Viola helped Terrence walk inside.
Adam pressed the elevator button.
Terrence lived on the top floor.
Ding!
Shortly afterward, the elevator doors opened.
Adam took the keys to open the door. “Sister, the bedroom is over here.”
Viola led him to the bedroom.
“Get a bowl of water.’
“Sure.” Adam nodded.
Viola helped Terrence onto the bed.
Adam carried a bowl of water out from the bathroom, “Sister, water.’
Viola walked over, took the towel out of the water, wrung it out, and then looked at Adam, “Is this an old injury?”
“Yes.” Adam nodded.
Originally, Terrence wouldn’t have ended up like this tonight.
Viola sat on the edge of the bed and wiped the man’s face with the towel.
“How long has it been?”
After a moment of bewilderment, Adam replied, “It’s been like this ever since Terrence had a car accident, about ten years or so.”
Age-old internal injuries are the most difficult to cure.
Viola frowned slightly, “Why haven’t you seen a doctor sooner?”
Adam sighed, “We’ve seen many doctors, but they all say Terrence’s leg can’t be cured completely. Usually, it’s not a big deal and doesn’t affect his normal life. But when the leg pain strikes, it’s very unbearable.”
Viola took Terrence’s hand from under the blanket and placed her hand on his pulse.
Seeing this, Adam was very surprised, “Sister, do you know medical skills?”
