My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Shirley reached out to stop me, but I swatted her hand away. "Butt out of this."

When I turned my head and saw Irvin still looking as if he was dead inside, my rage got the better of me.

Were all patients so fond of tossing and turning? Must they anger the people around them so the latter could commiserate with their helplessness? Would the scale of psychological distress only then be balanced?

There was no need to worry so much since being soft would not work on Irvin.

Gasping heavily, I stood there, staring at the two. Then, I moved and aggressively dragged Irvin onto the chair.

I didn't know where my strength came from since I could pull him over in one swift try, or perhaps Irvin had gotten much lighter than he was before. Frightened, Shirley quickly helped Irvin to sit up on the chair. "Get moving." I ordered without another word. Then I took the lead, walked over, and opened the door.

Irvin was huffing and puffing, but there was nothing he could do about it. He bore his dark brown eyes into me to express his anger.

I deliberately ignored him and reminded Shirley, "Don't just stand there. Grab a blanket and cover his legs! The doctor said that sunbathing can provide him with calcium. What are you waiting for?"

It was only at this moment that Shirley's trance was interrupted. She hastily folded a blanket and placed it over Irvin's lap before pushing the wheelchair out of the ward in a hurry.

I had to admit that the garden was a completely different world from the ward. Birds were chirping, flowers fragrant, the grass was lush on muddied ground, and fresh air was infinite.
