Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Hansen instantly picked up his phone to check. The boy in the photo had lost his previous good looks and now looked uglier than a monkey, his face all wrinkled and eyes squinted from sourness. Hansen nodded contentedly, "Always knew my girl got me. This photo is gonna be my new joke material."

Mia was speechless. Using a goofy photo of her own grandson for laughs? That was something only her dad would do. She spoke up, "Sometimes, when we mess up, you might want to consider if you're part of the problem." Hansen: "You think I've been bad to you?"

Mia didn't answer the question directly, instead letting Hansen to think for himself.

Naomi hadn't returned from buying corns yet, but there was already a visitor in the ward.

There was a knock. Mia got up to answer, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

The visitor looked about the same age as Hansen, another old man. He kept smiling at Mia, trying to give off a friendly vibe. But his gaze made Mia uncomfortable.

Polite people didn't size folks up at first sight. Plus, she didn't like the look in his eyes.

Hansen in the room was getting impatient. "Who is it?" he asked.

Mia turned back and said, "I don't know, never seen him before. This old man does not seem to be able to speak."

Finley was immediately irritated by the girl in front of him. She said he was unable to speak, indirectly implying he was mute just because he didn't answer her question? She surely was articulate.

Hearing Hansen's voice, Finley called out with a smile, "Hansen, it's me, Finley."

Mia immediately knew he was an acquaintance of Hansen's, so she let Finley into the room.

Hansen also sat up, looking at the visitor. "Why are you here?" He had been joking with Mia, but he immediately became serious.

Finley put down his gift, sat by Hansen's bed, and patted the blanket on him, "You're sick and in the hospital. How could I not come and visit?"
