14 Come to My Home (1/2)

After he left, the two of them stood in silence at the ward's entrance, both silent.

Mo Han softened his tone. ”Stay in the hospital, wait until your body is fully recovered. Then I'll send you to the police station and I'll find out where your family lives.”

The girl was stubborn. ”I'm not going to the police station.”

Mo Han got quite angry. ”You're an amnesiac, you're injured, and you don't want to stay in the hospital. Nor do you want to go to the police station. Tell me, where can you go? Look at yourself, nobody would care even if you died outside!”

The girl kept her head lowered; her abdomen was still in some pain. She leaned against the wall weakly and did not look back at him. ”I've been unconscious in the hospital for one month. Nobody came to look for me. If my family wanted to look for me, they would've already come to see me while I was dying.”

”It's fine as long as one person comes to see me... As long as they tell me, who I am and why I'm here.”

The hospital was eerily quiet at three in the morning. The bright whiteness of the hospital corridors was piercing to the eyes. Only the two of them were in the hallway, debating where to go as the tension built up. Mo Han could not see her expression as she bent her back and leaned against the wall. She was wearing an oversized gray blouse. He found it a jarring sight and was unsure of what he was feeling in his heart at that instant.

After a rather long time, he thought back to the scene at the hospital. It was then that he finally understood. That was the sensation of heartache.

The present him had yet to realize that the girl had begun to creep into his life silently.

”Let's go.” The girl heard Mo Han's gentle voice, as though he had acquiesced.

”Where are we going?”

”My home.” He turned around, the sound of his footsteps gradually sounding.

In the quiet and dim hospital corridor, she could hear the man's steady footsteps. He walked in front and she followed behind. She stopped her footsteps as she saw the tiny light at the end of the corridor and the man's long, muscular build. At that instant, she felt that he was leading her towards the outside world.

Perhaps, from the very first look, she had felt that he would give her a sense of security.
