- Let him tell the truth
"I'm pregnant."
Alice replied.
William's face turned black, and a single word came out from his throat as he stood there in a daze, "Damn!"
After leaving the diagnosis room, Lambert quickly walked toward David's ward.
"Bam!"
The door to the ward was slammed open.
David was currently leaning on the bed reading a book, and his hand was holding a needle to receive the infusion. Upon seeing Lambert come in, he didn't even have the time to pretend to be asleep. And he could only stare blankly at Lambert.
Why did he come back?
What did Lambert like to be tangled up in?
David's brows furrowed, and Lambert's breathing became a little heavy. He rushed towards with large strides, extended his hand and grabbed his hand.
"What are you doing?"
David frowned and asked. He retracted his arm, but the wounds on it made him unable to move. He could only watch as his sleeves was pulled up.
Lambert stood there and then saw the long strips of flesh on David's arm. During the surgery, he had only paid attention to the wounds and did not care about these old wounds.
It turned out to be a self - mutilation injury.
David looked at him with dissatisfaction. While enduring the pain, he withdrew his hand and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"
"Do you miss him that much?"
Lambert directly asked. His voice was hoarse not cold.
"What are you talking about?" David frowned and put down his sleeves.
"I know you're not here to save me, you're just a release your guilty feelings." His eyes looked at David's face which was covered in many places, and he could vaguely see his handsomeness, "I know that at the moment you charged towards me, disregarding everything else, I was only a substitute for
York."
David leaned on the bed. Upon hearing this, his entire body froze as he sat there motionlessly. The blood red on his face disappearing bit by bit, even the color of his lips. "Who told you that?"
"You told me."
David's heart skipped a beat, he clenched his fist tightly. There were signs of blood flowing out of the tube.
After a long while, David finally said, "I told you, how could it be? How could I not remember?"
He knew it didn't matter.
He also knew that this was most likely something that had come out of his mouth, which wasn't surprising at all. After all, he remembered it too deeply.
"There are too many things you don't remember."
Lambert said.
David raised his eyes and looked at him. He clenched his teeth a little and Lambert lowered his gaze to look at his arm.
"What are you trying to say?"
Pausing for a moment, David asked.
"I only realized today that I don't know you at all." "Like this face of yours. I've never seen your true face. I don't know your personality either."
"What are you trying to say?"
David asked.
"Just now, I knew all the stories. Only now did I realize that you are that kind of person. You're accustomed to cowardice and escaping." Lambert said with a profound look in his eyes. "Then, I made a bold guess. That year, did you hear what I said in the turret? "
Hearing that, David's pupils suddenly shrank, and he turned his face away, "I don't understand what you're saying."
He didn't understand.
Alright, then let's get to the point.
Lambert stood there and stared at David's face with both eyes, and after a long period of silence. He said word by word, "David, I like you, what about you?"
This was his confession from all those years ago.
Back then, David had been sprawled on the table and he had sat right next to him, staring at him and confessing.
Now, he finally understood why David would say those drunken words for no reason at all.
David was drunk, but he was more clearheaded than anyone else.
David's face was deathly pale.
Seeing his expression, Lambert closed his eyes in near despair and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Looks like I guessed right. You really like to avoid people. If Alice did not make the thing clear between us, then you would be able to pretend to be stupid for your entire life, right?"
There was already a reproach in his words.
David clenched his teeth, straightened his body and looked towards the self -deprecating smirk on the corner of Lambert's mouth as he said, "So what if you knew?"
What did he want to know? What could he know?
"So what if I knew?" Both of his hands pressed onto the white blanket as he stared at David with urgency in his eyes. His face approached David from a close distance, "Alice said that I do not have the courage, and I think that I am as weak as you. However, I will not escape again and again like you, I know how to correct myself!"
He was so close that David could almost feel his breathing.
