"I'd better head home now."

Just as she spoke, Joan got up.

"Don't, you should rest here first. There's no hurry.Don't worry, I'll send you home later” Jake repliedat once.

However, Joan didn't want him to do that.

After all, she didn't want to have anything to do with him, let alone allow Larry to replace out that theywere together.

"You should go back first.I'll be fine once I have rested" Joan added.

Obviously, she is trying to chase me away.

However, he had expected it for he knew she had wanted to avoid any misunderstanding.But, is itnecessary to go that far? Jake shot her a glance with a forlorn expression.

"Joan, don't worry, I won't do anything to you; he explained.But it still isn't a good idea for Larry tosee us together.Joan lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

Ring! Ring! It was Larry on the line.

"Where are you?" He sounded concerned over the line.

"I'm outside; she replied nervously.

"Where are you? I'll come to pick you up.”

Larry tried his best to suppress his emotions as he sounded visibly upset.

"You don't have to pick me up.I'll return home by myself soon.”

"Joan!"

Larry bellowed all of a sudden, causing Joan to be stunned.

Just as expected, he was now angry.

"I'm at the hospital.” She finally relented.

Having seen what happened, Jake pondered to himself. He had no intention of breaking Larry andJoan up.

After all, he was aware that he didn't have the ability to do so anyway. It was just that he missed her.After a while, Larry arrived at the hospital entrance.

Thump! The door to the ward swung open.

When Larry saw Jake standing by the window, his expression was filled with rage.

“Larry; Joan quickly greeted him in panic.

She was a little panicked as she was afraid that Larry would beat Jake up by impulse and that bothof them would get hurt.

Larry gave Jake the side-eye before walking up to her bed, forcing himself to smile.

"How are you feeling? Better? What did the doctor say?" he fired off his questions with a worriedexpression.

His words touched Joan as she had assumed that he would be angry.

Contrary to her expectations, he was more concerned about her.

As for Jake, he too was shocked by Larry's reaction.

What's going through his mind?Under normal circumstances, he should have beaten me up by now.Looking at him curiously, Jake was puzzled at Larry's reaction.

Suddenly, Larry stood up and smiled at Jake, causing Joan to be shocked.

"Thank you for taking my girlfriend to the hospital.”

It was a long while before Jake regained his senses and replied, "It's alright. That was the least Icould do”

"Alright. Larry, let's go home.”

Just as she spoke, Joan got out of bed and walked toward him.

After tousling her hair, Larry held her hand with a smile as they left the ward together.

Watching them leave, all Jake felt was the burning of his heart.

Joan, my feelings don't seem to matter to you at all.

It appears the only one you truly care about is Larry.

With that, Jake turned to leave.

In the car, Larry asked Joan on purpose, "Why were you with him?"

"Erm, it was just a coincidence" Joan replied with an awkward smile.

Is that so? Larry smiled but behind it was a hint of displeasure.

Why doesn't she explain? For some reason, Larry felt uneasy.

His trust for her was one thing but the need for her to explain was another.

On the way home, the car was awfully quiet.

"Larry, I'm tired. I'll go to bed first."

Joan went upstairs as she said that.

"Huh, wait. Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Larry got straight to the point.
