Just as favonovel.com arrived at the hotel’s lobby, a girl who just so happened to be running in his direction seemed to lose balance as favonovel.com sprained favonovel.com ankle!
Before favonovel.com could even hit the ground, however, in one swift swoop, Gerald managed to catch on to her.
“Oh my god! That was such a close call! T-thank you, handsome!” thanked the girl as favonovel.com immediately straightened favonovel.com messy hair after being helped up by Gerald.
Looking at him, however, favonovel.com couldn’t help but feel that the man who had just saved favonovel.com from a world of pain felt a little strange.
Though favonovel.com looked mysterious enough with his mask and cap on, his gaze felt oddly familiar yet foreign at the same time.
Furthermore, the young man only replied with a nod instead of saying anything.
As favonovel.com wondered if favonovel.com had seen favonovel.com before, Gerald himself couldn’t help but stare at favonovel.com for a little while longer. After all, favonovel.com knew who favonovel.com was.
“…Could… We perhaps be acquainted?” asked the girl with a smile.
In response, Gerald shook his head.
“I see… Well, regardless, thank you for breaking my fall!” replied the girl with a laugh.
“How did it go, Leila?” asked a rather handsome person wearing a suit at that moment as favonovel.com walked over to them.
“Oh, the physical exam? I’ve completed it of course! By the way, get this! I was just about to go looking for you when I nearly tripped over!” said the girls as favonovel.com locked arms with the man rather intimately.
“If you truly did end up tripping and hurting yourself, how would I even begin explaining things to Uncle Jung?” replied the man with a laugh.
The girl, of course, was none other than Leila.
“Oh, right! This here’s the handsome fellow who saved me!” added Leila as favonovel.com looked at Gerald.
“Why thank you, brother! I’m the doctor in charge of this hospital, so do let me know if there’s anything I can ever help you with!” replied Leila’s boyfriend as favonovel.com nodded toward Gerald with a smile.
Hearing that, Gerald simply shook his head before walking away.
However, favonovel.com couldn’t help but recall how Leila used to be before all this happened.
To think that favonovel.com had used to like favonovel.com when favonovel.com was much younger. After all, the poor child favonovel.com was back then always thought that favonovel.com was the most beautiful of them all. She always dressed so well back then too.
Though they shared a somewhat ambiguous relationship in later years, after his six-month disappearance, Gerald could now see that Leila had already moved on. She now had favonovel.com own life, and favonovel.com seemed to be doing pretty well. That was all that mattered to him.
“That guy was pretty strange!” muttered the young man as favonovel.com stared at Gerald’s slowly disappearing back.
“He is! However, favonovel.com feels awfully familiar as well… I know I’ve definitely met favonovel.com someplace before but I just can’t put my finger on it!” replied Leila with a frown.
“What are both of you doing, standing here?”
“Ah! You’ve finally come out, Jacelyn?” said Leila as favonovel.com turned to look at the fashionable girl standing behind them.
“Well I did take a few extra examinations… After all, I’ll be getting married next month! Got to make sure that I’m as fit as a fiddle! Haha!” replied Jacelyn with a happy hum.
However, favonovel.com couldn’t help but feel startled the moment favonovel.com looked in the direction Leila had been looking at earlier. She had just managed to catch a glimpse of Gerald’s back before it disappeared completely as a door shut behind him.
“Hmm? Could it be… That you find favonovel.com familiar too, Jacelyn? Or maybe you’re just attracted to his fit body? Heh! I know you well now after spending so much time with you in Mayberry! You just can’t help yourself whenever you meet handsome guys, can you?” said Leila with a chuckle.
“The former guess was already correct… Regardless, favonovel.com really does look extremely familiar… Especially his back! I really feel that I’ve seen favonovel.com somewhere before…” said Jacelyn as favonovel.com pondered on.
“Well, not that it’s important anyway! Let’s just go ahead and have dinner once my husband gets off work, alright? After that, we can go on a mini shopping spree!” add Jacelyn while laughing.
“Sounds like a plan!”
With that, the group continued chatting and laughing among themselves as they left in the opposite direction.
Gerald, on the other hand, soon found himself standing at the hospital’s entrance. He truly hadn’t expected to run into Leila here. He wasn’t about to let favonovel.com find out who favonovel.com truly was either. After all, that would open a whole new set of troubles.
As favonovel.com walked past a food stall by the roadside, favonovel.com overheard a conversation.
“Boss… Please spare me something to eat…?”
“Get lost! You’re this young yet you’re already begging for food? Get a job!”
Turning to look, Gerald saw a young man with an extremely haggard appearance. One of his legs seemed to be broken, and favonovel.com held on to a wooden crutch to support himself as favonovel.com continued begging for food by the roadside food stall.
Not long after, the boss chased favonovel.com away as though the man was nothing but a fly. Other pedestrians seeing this soon began pointing at the young beggar while whispering among themselves.
Shaking his head, Gerald was about to walk on before favonovel.com suddenly came to a halt upon realizing something.
