Chapter 1078 Farewell, Sally (1/2)

Sean gently pushed the bathroom door open as he naturally tugged and untied his pants with one hand.

It was basically a man's habit, and he was accustomed to it already. He was wearing a hospital gown without a belt, so it was easier for him to take it off.

Unbeknownst to him, Sally was sitting on the toilet seat, silently holding her luggage. Her eyes were puffy and red. She could only stare blankly at Sean, who was unbuttoning his pants.

As she caught herself in that awkward situation, her face flushed all the way to her ears!

The next second, realizing something amiss inside the bathroom, Sean directed his gaze at the toilet seat!

Stunned, Sean quickly pulled up his pants as he observed the girl squatting on the stool unmoving. And like him, her face also showed a mortified expression.

”What...”

Sean almost blurted something out of his impulse but forcibly cut his words off. He swiftly took a peek at Dr. Cheng, who was still lingering inside his ward, before immediately closing the door. Looking at her with a deep frown creasing on his forehead, he whispered, ”What are you doing here? When did you come?”

Sally's face was still giving off a rosy glow. But she merely sniffed and sobbed, ”Just now.”

Scanning her sad face anxiously, Sean no longer cared about the embarrassment he felt. With concern in his voice, he asked, ”Why are you crying?”

”Uncle Sean, I'm leaving now!”

Dr. Cheng's loud voice was soon heard from the ward. He hastily called out to Sean as he had to answer an emergency call. The doctor did not even bother to wait for his patient to come out.

The two froze, and both glanced at the door. Hearing the door click shut, Sean heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that the doctor had left.

Feeling helpless and disheartened, she kept her head lowered. She didn't want him to see her face. After a moment, Sally abruptly stood up from the stool and muttered hoarsely, ”I'm fine. Sorry I was in here.”

Then she hurriedly walked out without glancing at him.

With a worried look, Sean watched her retreating back. After he was done changing, he quietly came out. With a complicated expression on his face, he stood by the door and observed her packing her things. When Sally took out her doll from the closet and stuffed it into her bag, Sean inched his way towards her.

”You haven't answered me yet. What's wrong?”

Sean gently grasped her wrist, stopping her. Sweeping his eyes over her face, he demanded in a tone soft with affection, ”Tell me. Did someone bully you?”

Sean could easily deduce that Sally hadn't slept all night. She had dark circles around her eyes and she looked quite tired.

”You did.”

Sally choked, biting her quivering lips. Swallowing hard, she managed to lift her head to look at his eyes squarely as if gauging his reaction without missing a beat.
