It was like there was no one else in the hospital but him. He shivered when the stinging cold wind hit his pallid face.
Nathan’s eyes started to well up with tears, and there was tightness in his chest. He felt a deep depression descend upon him.
A gunshot wound could not compare to the piercing ache he was feeling at that moment.

“Lucinda!
Where are you?
Are you still mad at me?”
He had used up his last bit of energy just leaving the room, and now, he could not do anything else. He could barely support his own weight, so he had to prop himself against the door.
The urge to see Lucinda was what kept him from going back to bed.
The face of a passing nurse on duty became completely white when she spotted him. She rushed to him, exclaiming, “Oh, my God! Why did you leave the bed? You’ve just had an operation. You can’t catch a cold.
Please go back inside.”
Nathan swatted her hands away weakly.
“Where’s Lucinda?”
“She left already. It’s in the middle of the night now, so I don’t think she’ll come back anytime soon. Look, you can’t stay here.
Please go back inside.”

She had no intention of forgiving him, and she was not interested in hearing his explanation.
Nathan’s violent coughing echoed in the empty corridor.
The nurse grimaced.
“Mr. Payne…”
“Fuck off!”
He gave her an icy glare. He was badly injured, but the look in his eyes was still ferocious enough to scare people away.
Terrified, the nurse could not bring herself to speak again. She left in a hurry.
