Ste''s got a mouth on her that was a bit too sharp for her own good. She had Yorick at a loss for words over the phone.
That was just how she was. You threw one at her, she''d got tening right back at you.
Ste, relentless, went for another jab, "You really should see a doctor, with your brain deteriorating like that, it''s just tragic."
Without waiting for a response from Yorick on the other end, Ste hung up directly.
Meanwhile, Yorick was on his way to the hospital. Hearing Ste say his brain all destroyed, he was fuming, ready to knock someone out! Just then, Cloudia called to say Urs sneaked out of the hospital.
Yorick rubbed his throbbing temples, his headache unbearable.
At this moment, Urs shouldn''t be leaving the hospital at all, and yet she sneaked out, as if she''d given up on life itself.
"Orion."
"Yes, sir."
"Do you think Ste..."
What about her?
At the mention of Ste now, Yorick''s mind was aplete mess. The faces of those men kept shing through his mind.
Which one was her steady guy? Finley, or that man...the one who visited her today?
It was all mixed up, everything in chaos. Those men appeared around Ste out of nowhere, sending Yorick''s thoughts into disarray.
...
They arrive at the hospital quickly.
As soon as Yorick entered the room, he saw Cloudia, crying and gasping for breath.
"You, in this condition, sneaking out...do you not care about your life at all?"
Urs uttered, "I''m sorry, Mom. I didn''t mean to worry you."
"What if something had happened? Walking is even a struggle for you now." When they found Urs, she was breathlessly sitting on the edge of a nter.
Urs looked at Cloudia, her lips moving as if to say something,
she couldn''t find the words. Shal.?
wen after that man, intending to end him.
But she hadn''t anticipated her body would fail her like this.
Cloudia saw Yorick return, "Rick, please talk some sense into Urs, ask her not to act rashly. I was scared to death today."
Urs''s current condition was breaking Cloudia''s heart the most.
Standing up, she nced at Urs and said, "You two talk. I''ll go see about getting something for you to eat. This has all gone cold."
Cloudia left, leaving Yorick and Urs alone.
Urs looked at Yorick with guilt-filled eyes, "I''m sorry for worrying you."
Yorick pulled up a chair and sat down in front of the hospital bed sighing Why did you run off? Do you realize how worried your mom and everyone are about you?"
Urs looked down, tears dropping.
"I just couldn''t stand the smell anymore, Rick. You don''t understand how desperate the scent of this disinfectant makes me feel.
From the moment I stepped into this
hospital, it''s like I''ve been cut off
from the outside world. I''m scared,
scared I''ll never feel the sun again. I don''t want to be in here, I don''t want..."
Urs was really having a tough time. She didn''t want Ste to get off easy, but in reality, she was not having an easy time herself.
As Yorick heard her talk about the smell of the hospital, his brow furrowed, "But that doesn''t mean you should just sneak out."
