I questioned the man while eyeing the huge sunglasses on his face.

Whipping off his sunglasses, he looked at me in delight. “We met at the hospital back then. Don’t you remember me? Or am I really that unmemorable?”

At that, I scrutinized the handsome countenance that suddenly appeared before me. The man was at least a meter eight in height. The black sports attire he was wearing showcased his perfect figure, complementing his lovely golden-brown hair. He had bright eyes threaded with a hint of childishness, a straight nose, smooth skin, pink thin lips, and exquisite features.

His face seems really familiar… Ah, I remember now! He’s the guy I collided with back when I was kicked out of the hospital room.

“I remember now. I accidentally ran into you at the hospital previously.”

Since I was in a sorry state both times we met, mortification swamped me. I ducked my head, no longer daring to look him in the eye.

“Bingo! I knew you haven’t forgotten about me!” A smug smile bloomed on his face upon seeing that I had recalled him. Staring at me, he then asked, “Where are you going right now?”

His clear eyes glowed with warmth as he looked at me.

“I’m thinking of going to the hospital.”

I hadn’t been to the hospital in two days, so I was a tad worried about Steven. Besides, my mother wouldn’t even take my calls now. Every time I phoned her, she would decline the call right away.

“It happens that I’m headed to the hospital as well. So why don’t I give you a ride?”

The beaming smile on his face gave off a sense of youth and sunshine. Sure enough, it was great to be young. Judging from his looks, he was probably around twenty-five years old.

“No, it’s okay. That’ll be too much trouble for you,” I declined without an ounce of hesitation.

It was merely our second meeting, so we were yet strangers. For that reason, it seemed rather inappropriate to accept a ride from him.
