Chapter 1066

At the hospital cafeteria, after Laura decided to stay a bit longer, she and Celeste were walking toward the room where Serenity was. As they passed by one of the consultation rooms, Laura came face to face with Adrian.

She was surprised to see him. The young man was on crutches, his left foot in a splint. He could barely manage between his studies and the crutches.

Laura couldn't just ignore the scene, so she walked over to him.

"Adrian..." said Laura, a little shyly.

Celeste was a bit intrigued but decided to wait. It was clear she didn't know who he was. Laura rarely talked about her personal life, so she figured he was just some acquaintance.

"Laura... Oh! Sorry, I didn't expect to see you here, especially in such a terrible situation..." said Adrian, a bit embarrassed.

"What happened to you?" asked Laura, kind of confused.

"You want the short version or the long and boring one?" Adrian asked, trying to sound calm.

"Adrian! I want the truth!" said Laura, even more curious.

"Well... We haven't seen each other, so I guess the short version is easier," said Adrian, giving in.

"Alright, wanna grab a coffee? Need help with your papers?" Laura offered, taking in the scene in front of her.
