When Tom finally got nearer, I realized that he looked very scary right now. I
wasn''t sure what caused it, but there was a big sh wound on his arm. Although his wound had started to scab over, half of his sleeve had been stained by blood.
"A-Are you alright, Tom?"
However, it seemed like he didn''t hear what I said. Instead, he was scanning me from head to toe. It took me a while, but I came to realize that his body had been stiff previously and he was slowly rxing now.
"Mr. White." At that moment, a nonchnt voice rose in the air. "Why didn''t you just pick up my calls?"
Greg stood at the hospital entrance. He frowned as he walked over. "I tried to call you because your ally is already fine, but you just wouldn''t answer my calls."
"Ally?" Dawn blinked, feeling dumbfounded.
"Yeah." Greg raised his hand and rubbed his nose. "Tom''s ally suddenly met with an ident. I had just given him a call and told him about it. The next thing I knew, he was already on his way here. Afterward, I realized that everything was fine. So, I intended to call Tom and give him the good news, but he didn''t pick up any calls."
Tom pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "I was in such a hurry when I came out that my phone fell to the floor."
Greg raised an eyebrow. "What about your arm?"
Tom nced at his arm and responded halfheartedly, "Something cut me, I guess."
Greg gave a helpless smile. Meanwhile, Dawn and I hadn''t had the foggiest idea what just happened despite the fact that Greg had exined it to us.
With that said, we gathered enough to know that Tom''s "ally" meant a lot to him. After all, he had always been calm and collected, yet he got this panicked for that ally of his.
"Are you okay? Should I ask a nurse to clean it up for you?"
Tom cast a nonchnt nce at his wound. "I''m fine."
At first, I thought Tom would follow Greg into the hospital and pay his ally a visit. To my surprise, Tom left immediately after he learned that his ally was doing fine.
Dawn and I were confused all over again. What on earth was Tom doing?
"Mr. White is acting rather weirdly today."
Dawn couldn''t help but analyze the situation for me as we were driving home. "It''s not right to say that he doesn''t care about that ally of his. His disheveled state told me that he does care. But at the same time, he left without even checking up on that person."
I nodded as well. "He was acting a little strange."
All of a sudden, something popped into Dawn''s mind. She shed me a big smile
and said, "Do you think Mr. White has a thing for his ally?"
I was at a loss for words. I wasn''t sure if I shouldugh or cry. "That''s utter nonsense."
However, Dawn wore an expression that suggested she had made a huge discovery. She said in an excited tone, "I''ve never seen anydies by his side. On the other hand, there are always guys around him. Everything''s starting to make sense now!" The more Dawn talked about it, the more excited she got.
"Wait a minute. Doesn''t Mr. White have feelings for you? That means he''s
probably not gay. Is it possible that he''s bisexual, though?"
"Dawn..." I groaned. Her mind never ceased to amaze me.
Dawn shed me a smile and asked, "How are you feeling now? Did I make you happy, even just a little?"
That was when I finally realized that she was merely trying to make meugh.
"I''m fine." I grinned and looked at Dawn. "Actually, I don''t want to give up on this baby either."
After all, a mother had strong bonds with her children. Even if my baby had merely been in my belly for a little over a month, there was already an unspeakable bond between us.
How was I supposed to sever our ties that easily?
Dawn reached out and rubbed my belly when the traffic light turned red. "Don''t worry about a thing, baby. I''ll take care of your mom on your behalf. So, you have to be a good kid in there. You hear me?"
I chuckled and sighed in relief. It didn''t matter what was going to happen. I was going to give birth to my baby, and I would never regret making this decision.
