Arwen has always been very observant in nature and in recent years, observing everything had become a habit of hers. So, from the moment Jason entered the room, she noticed how unfamiliar the nurse and doctor seemed to be with him —almost as if it was their first time working with him.
If Dr. Clark had been a regular doctor at the hospital, this wouldn't be their attitude.
And the second thing Arwen couldn't ignore was his air of medical expertise. He walked through his field of work not just with precision but with the confidence of a Crown Prince destined to take the throne.
It might not seem like a big deal on the surface, but knowing a few things too well, Arwen's instincts told her that this man wasn't as simple as he appeared.
Jason looked at the girl and couldn't help but smile. "You have quite a sharp eye to notice that so easily, I must say," he remarked nonchalantly, but Arwen kept her stare at him, as if inquiring further.
Although Jason could read the question in her eyes, he feigned to not know it. "With everything explained, I will take my leave first. You will need to stay in the hospital under my observation for now. After a week, you can leave, but we will talk about it later."
He said, ready to leave when Arwen asked, "You are not a doctor at this hospital, yet you came here to treat me. We have never met before today, so we are not friends. To come all the way here to make sure I am fine, I am sure Dr. Clark, you must have a reason."
Jason found himself in a tough spot. If given a choice, he would have preferred to tell the truth, but with the warning ringing in his ears, he couldn't do that at the moment.
Arwen watched his expression. After a moment, she smiled and decided not to probe any further. "It's fine, Dr. Clark. If that's something you can't tell, I won't force you. Thank you for treating me." She said and the doctor breathed out in relief.
"That was my duty. You rest now, I will take my leave." With that, he didn't linger any longer and left the room at once.
Arwen watched his back as he walked out. She didn't probe to ask him for answers, but she could guess who could have asked him here. As she rested in the room, a nurse came in after a while.
"How are you doing now?" the nurse asked, and with a smile, Arwen nodded.
"I am fine," she replied, then added, "Do you happen to have my phone here? I mean, did the person who brought me here also bring my phone?"
The nurse smiled. "Yes, we have your belongings. Later, I will ask someone to bring it to you. But since you just had an accident, you shouldn't use your phone too much. It will be quite strenuous."
Arwen understood and hummed in response. "I will be careful."
The nurse smiled and then gave her the prescribed medicines. When she was done, she asked, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you —you have been here for more than a week now, and aside from your boyfriend, no one has visited you. Don't you have a family?"
Arwen was taken aback. Boyfriend? Who was she referring? Her brows furrowed in confusion, which the nurse quickly noticed.
