True Love Waits

On the way to the outpatient department, Calvert seemed very frail and sickly. Evelyn stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

He shook his head feebly and said, "I'm not feeling well... I think the effects of the anesthetic have already worn off. I'm starting to feel a sharp pain in my waist... Evelyn, I've been meaning to apologize to you for what happened last time. I'm really sorry. I wasn't able to control my emotions at that time. We had kissed before, and I thought you wouldn't refuse me..."

Evelyn held his arm and interrupted him, "I don't want to talk about that anymore. I hope it won't happen again. But I'm really sorry, Calvert. Sheffield can be a little childish sometimes, but he isn't a bad person. Please don't mind him..."

'Childish? The man is 26 years old. Acting like a child at that age isn't normal.' Calvert concealed the contempt inside his heart and pretended to be understanding as he nodded in agreement. "Evelyn, you don't have to explain anything. I won't press any charges on him, for your sake."

After seeing Calvert off to the operating room, Evelyn waited patiently on a bench.

After a while, the elevator doors slid open and out came Sheffield. He walked straight to Evelyn and with an expressionless face, said, "It's late. Go home and get some rest. I'll wait here."

"No, I'm not sleepy!" Evelyn was too upset to sleep.

The exasperation in her tone provoked him and he tried his hardest to hold back his anger, but he sarcastically blurted out, "Don't tell me you're feeling sorry for him?"

"What?" Evelyn raised her head to look at him in confusion.

"Just be honest, you're feeling bad for him, aren't you? You're worried about your fiance, am I right?"

How could she not see the irony in his eyes? "What nonsense are you talking about? I can't do this! I don't want to see you right now!"

'Don't want to see me?' Sheffield grabbed hold of her wrist, pulled her off the bench and took her into his arms. Piercing her eyes with his, he said, "Then who do you want to see? The man in the operating room?"

Sheffield held her so tightly that Evelyn couldn't move and she felt out of breath. "What's wrong with you?" she said.
