Monday afternoon.
Downstairs in the hospital, in the garden.
Koa Jackson sat on the bench, eyes slightly squinted, feeling the warm spring sunshine.
The wind, gentle and soft, brushed past his temples, like a girl’s hand, tender with warmth; with his eyes half-closed, even a brief idle sit felt like an enjoynt, quiet and marvelous.
So lost in thought, he didn’t even notice when soone sat next to him.
Lia Chester held a stack of folders, bit her lip as she looked at him, and after a while, said stiffly, "Koa Jackson."
Koa Jackson opened his eyes and glanced sideways at her.
His gaze indifferent, as if completely unaware that the two had held a press conference together just two days ago.
"Satisfied now?" Lia looked at him, took a deep breath, and self-mockingly said in a rigid tone, "Finally, I won’t have to see you again."
Koa Jackson said nothing, rely sneering.
Lia grew even more furious.
That day, after returning ho, she had nowhere to vent her grievances and directly received a slap from her father.
What had he called her?
A disgrace to the Chester Family, shaless.
Heh.
The father who had held her in the palm of his hand since childhood also had such a stern side she had never imagined.
The man before her was so cruel, had given her the greatest joy and hope, and then, in such a scenario, delivered a blow that caught her off guard. Now she had beco the subject of ridicule by netizens nationwide.
She couldn’t stay at ho; she didn’t dare touch her phone or computer.
Even—
She couldn’t stay in the hospital either.
She had beco the well-known joke of the Fourth Hospital.
Gathering so belongings, she applied for leave, then resigned, so she never had to appear in front of this person again.
But—
Koa Jackson was stingy to the point of not wanting to say a single word.
Lia just felt desolate, laughed faintly, and said, "I feel like I’ve just t you for the first ti today."
"Is that so?" Koa Jackson didn’t look at her, suddenly asked.
" ending up like this, makes you happy, doesn’t it?"
Koa Jackson remained silent.
"If possible, I really wish I had never known you." Tears suddenly fell from Lia’s eyes as she gritted her teeth.
" too," Koa Jackson replied indifferently.
"You!" Lia abruptly stood up, looked at him, wanting to speak.
Koa Jackson looked at her, lips slightly moved, "Sorry, you’re blocking my sun."
"..."
Lia stared at him with constant expression, bit her lip hard, and left.
Koa Jackson let out a sigh.
Sitting upright on the bench, he didn’t know what he was thinking for a while, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and smoked silently.
——
The afternoon sunshine was nice.
Mia Ginger was wheeled down by the caregiver aunt, and at a glance, she saw him.
Her expression slightly startled.
Dr. Jackson... does he smoke?
Such a gentle, patient, clean, and kind person, could also have such a side?
Still wearing his white coat, it seed a bit careless of his image.
Especially—
Clearly imrsed in the warm sunshine, yet he didn’t seem to absorb any of its warmth, instead appearing... lonely and isolated.
"Ah." Mia Ginger suddenly gasped lightly, raised her hand and touched her chest.
"What’s wrong? Feeling unwell?" The caregiver aunt quickly turned to ask.
Mia Ginger breathed lightly, one hand pressed against her forehead, softly said, "It’s nothing, just suddenly... a sharp pain in my chest."
