Flossie’s eyes widened a touch, her grip on the medication tightening as she inquired anxiously, “What’s happening? Who are they?”
“I don’t know.” Shaking her head, the nurse attempted to provide a brief description from memory. “There were likely two of them, tall and dressed in black suits. They looked like they meant trouble.”
The nurse appeared visibly shaken as she continued, “Has your boyfriend gotten involved with someone? They keep questioning the nurses about his whereabouts.”
Flossie felt a sense of bewilderment. Nonetheless, she harbored a suspicion that those individuals might be the ones responsible for Benny’s injuries the other day.
She thought they’d have believed Benny was dead by now.
She couldn’t wrap her head around why they were all of a sudden making an appearance.
Observing the trepidation reflecting in Flossie’s eyes, the nurse comforted her. “No need to lose sleep over it. Our hospital takes patient confidentiality seriously, and as of now, we’ve kept mum on any details.”
Flossie let out a breath she didn’t realize she was holding, yet she stayed on her guard.
After a brief contemplation, she directed the nurse, “Do me a favor and keep this under wraps. If anyone inquires, simply convey that Benny has left us.”
The nurse hesitated, reluctant to agree. “Well… I don’t think this is the right choice.”
However, the nurse yielded with a hesitant nod, swayed only by Flossie’s persistent pleas that seemed to stretch for an eternity.
Upon Flossie’s return home, the living room was devoid of the presence she longed to encounter. The door to Benny’s room remained resolutely sealed.
Her heart was tinged with a hint of disappointment. She had harbored hopes that sharing a roof with Benny might kindle a warmer bond between them. Yet, since they moved in, their interactions were confined to fleeting moments during his sporadic ventures out for meals and medication.
At times, she reminisced about her days in the hospital with a peculiar fondness.
There, at least, their meetings were not bound by walls or schedules.

With a gentle tap on Benny’s door, Flossie announced her presence.
“Benny, I’ve fetched your medicine from the hospital. Please, come and take it.”

Benny’s response was a soft murmur, his gaze fixed on a computer screen awash with updates on Matthew and Stella.
A frown marred his brow, lips pressed tightly together, his grip on the mouse betraying his simmering rage through the pronounced veins on his hand.
When he was in the hospital, he was in a critical state, but Matthew had a good time out there.
The injustice of it all fueled his anger, flames dancing in his eyes.
Yet, he endeavored to quell his emotions, immersing himself further in the sea of news.
A particular update caught his eye-the North city project was progressing without hindrance, and Carl remained elusive.
A sardonic laugh escaped Benny as he reached for his phone, dialing a familiar number. “It’s me, Benny.”
