By the time I gathered my thoughts to ask more questions, Andrew had vanished down the empty corridor.
Just then, the ward door swung open.
I instinctively glanced back and saw Caleb stepping out with a pale face.
I furrowed my brow and asked, Why did you come out?
Caleb didnt answer my question but instead asked me, Why havent you come in yet? Hes gone.
Yeah, hes gone. After I said that, I scanned Caleb from head to toe.
I noticed that although his face was still a bit pale, Caleb seemed calm and was walking normally. I asked with wide eyes, How did you recover so quickly?
Just a little while ago, he was knocked down and looked like he might not make it. How could he be up and walking in just a few hours?
In that moment, I started to think maybe Andrew was telling the truth.
Caleb was faking it. He purposely got hurt to look miserable in front of me, thinking it would help fix things between us and drive a wedge between me and Andrew.
When this thought hit me, I was shocked.
How could I even think that about Caleb?
No, I couldnt think that way. Caleb was my husband. We needed to trust each other.

My love made me want to believe Caleb, but my gut told me it couldnt just be a coincidence.
When I asked him, his expression changed for a moment before he quickly composed himself. Didnt you hear the doctor? The wound isnt deep. Ill be fine after some rest.
I looked at him doubtfully and didnt say anything.
Then Caleb took my hand and led me back to the ward.
After we sat down, Caleb even peeled an apple for me.
His movements were smooth, so it seemed like the wound on his shoulder wasnt that bad.
I quietly watched him peel the apple and then asked, Is there anything you want to tell me?
I didnt want to start doubting and questioning him, but I also didnt want to be naive. Now, things between Caleb and me were pretty complicated.
With a helpless smile, Caleb sighed. I knew it. When Andrew wanted to talk to you alone, I knew he had something shady in mind.
The more he acted that way, the more suspicious I became.
I changed my tone and said seriously, Cut the jokes. Answer my question. Dont bring up anyone else.
