Luis chuckled coldly. We installed it after Mitchel was harassed by the previous nurse. Yes, to guard against individuals like you. This camera has proven quite useful this time, helping the hospital to identify those tarnishing its reputation!
As the manager tried to protest, he was briskly removed from the ward.
Charli, looking ashen, stammered, I I was just having a bit of fun with this gentleman
Fun? Luis echoed sarcastically.
Yes, thats it. Nothing more. Mr. Stevens, youre a generous man. Please dont lower yourself to my level. Just tell me what to do, and Ill do it! Tears streamed down her face as Charli knelt and edged closer to Luis, her expression one of desperation. Mr. Stevens, I will follow your lead Okay?

Dont touch me, Luis said with a look of revulsion. Youre filthy.

With these two troublemakers being escorted away, quiet returned to the hospital room.
Ignoring Mitchels darken expression, Luis pulled a chair over and sat down. Feeling any better? he inquired.
Mitchel responded with a detached glance, his expression unreadable, Boring.
Hey. Luis chuckled, raising an eyebrow. You think Id entertain those two clowns if it wasnt to distract you from other things?
Mitchel continued to leaf through his financial magazine, unresponsive.
Luis continued, trying to engage him, Look at you. Either work or bury yourself in these financial updates. How do you expect to recover without any downtime?

Ignoring the frown, he pressed on, If youre so eager to get back to it, then focus on getting better. That way, youll give Hector and me a break. You wouldnt believe how often he checks in about your progress.
Im fine, Mitchel stated flatly.

Seeing Mitchels stubborn resistance to his advice, Luis grew frustrated. And youre not even doing your leg rehab exercises. Are you planning to stay bedridden forever?

Though Mitchel hadnt spoken about it, some truths were self-evident.
