AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane had an appointment with a specialist from the orthopedics department. There weren’t many patients at the entrance, so she entered shortly after.

The doctor was an old man in a white coat and wearing presbyopic glasses. He carefully examined his arm and asked casually,

-How did you get this injury on your arm?

– I knocked on the door. Roxane replied

The old doctor burst out laughing.

-What’s the problem today? Why are they all banging on the door…

-Oh?

Roxane looked at him, not understanding what he meant.

The door to the consultation room was suddenly pushed open. Jonas, who was sitting in a wheelchair with a scanner in his hand, was about to speak when he saw Roxane and was stunned.

She was also stunned when she saw it. His gaze fell on his legs.

– Your legs…

Jonas remembered that she didn’t even look at him when she left in the morning. He felt angry and said in a displeased tone:

– It’s none of your business,

The old doctor looked at them strangely.

– Do you both know each other?

– Yes.

– I don’t know.

The two spoke at the same time, but their responses were completely different.

Roxane turned her head to look at him, but he turned his head to look elsewhere. His expression was cold and there was a slight anger between his eyebrows. He looked like an angry child.

The old doctor was amused.

-Then you two are truly destined. One arm hit the door and one leg hit the door. Could you have knocked on the same door?

Roxane was speechless.

They really came from the same door.

-Okay, it shouldn’t be a big deal.

The old doctor washed his hands with hand soap and sat down in the chair to write a list.

– You should go get an x-ray.

Roxane let out an “Oh” and glanced at Jonas, who was in his chair. She couldn’t help but ask:

– Doctor, is his condition serious?

Before the doctor could respond, Jonas said with a fierce look:

-What does my condition have to do with you? Why do you care?

Roxane thought he was angry that she hit his mother, so she pursed her lips and didn’t refute.

Who would have thought that his eyes would turn red and he would humbly beg,

– Control me…

The doctor glared at him.

– Are you the doctor or am I the doctor?

Jonas awkwardly turned his head away and refused to look at them.

– You have such a bad temper, be careful not to scare the little girl.

The doctor glared at him again.

“why does a person have a mouth!”

Roxane knew he had misunderstood her. She was about to explain when the doctor asked her:

-Did he hit your hand?

– Of course not.

She immediately denied it.

– I really knocked on the door myself.

The doctor nodded.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

– Don’t worry. As long as he doesn’t knock on the door again, his leg will not be paralyzed.

Roxane breathed a sigh of relief. She took the form and got up to have a scan!

– Wait a minute.

Jonas saw that his walking posture wasn’t quite right, so he got up from the wheelchair.

– You can go in a wheelchair.

he said in a cold voice, still not looking at her.

Roxane was surprised. She reacted and shook her head.

– No, my legs…

Before she could finish, Jonas said impatiently:

– If I tell you to sit down, then sit down, stop talking so much nonsense! If you don’t want to sit down, can you help me take it out and throw it away?

Roxane’s clear eyes looked at his cold and irritable facial features for a while and said softly:

– THANKS.

She sat in her wheelchair and turned it around to get out.

Jonas turned his head to look at her back. There was no impatience in his eyes, only sorrow and helplessness.

The doctor pushed up his glasses and rolled his eyes at him.

-You’re clearly worried about the little girl, but you’re still so stubborn. Be careful not to cry when she runs off with someone else.

– What are you talking about?

He gave her the scanner and said in a bad mood:

– Are you a doctor or a paparazzi? do you like to chat so much?

– You brat, you’re going to suffer if you don’t listen to your elders. He took the x-ray film and examined it carefully.

– Your bone is broken. You should get plenty of rest during this time…

Jonas’ eyes were fixed on the door. He didn’t listen to a word the doctor said.

After Roxane finished having the scan, she received it after a while. When she returned, Jonas was no longer in the room.

She showed the scan to the doctor.

– There’s nothing wrong with your bones, just muscle tension. Don’t exert too much strength these days and do heavy work to rest.

The doctor placed his x-ray down and muttered:

– It’s much better than that brat.

Roxane’s expression changed.

-Is his condition very serious?

– It’s not serious. If he doesn’t recover well, he will have to live on crutches for the rest of his life. The doctor shook his head helplessly. He stammered as he wrote the medical report.

– Young people these days are hot-tempered and like to act cool and handsome. They don’t care about their health at all.

“He didn’t do it to be cool.”

The words were about to come out of her mouth, but she swallowed them back.

After the doctor finished prescribing the medicine, she took the list, got up, thanked her, and turned to leave.

– Hey, the wheelchair doesn’t belong to our hospital. You can take it with you.

The doctor reminded him.

– Oh.

Roxane’s knee hurt, but it wasn’t so painful that she couldn’t walk. She didn’t sit in the wheelchair but pushed it.

She went down to pay the fees. While waiting in the medicine collection area, she saw a figure standing at the door next to her, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

-I thought you were gone.

She pushed the wheelchair in front of him.

– I’ll give it back to you. And thank you.

Jonas glanced at him and said nothing. He brought the cigarette butt to his lips and took a deep drag. The white smoke gradually blurred the cold and hard features of his face.

Seeing that he didn’t want to talk to her, Roxane turned around and wanted to leave. After a moment of hesitation, she turned around and said:

– Smoking is bad for your health. You should smoke less.

Jonas tilted his head and looked at her. Through the smoke his eyes were dark, and he remained silent.

After a moment of silence, the cigarette butt fell to the ground and he said hoarsely:

-Help me walk on it.
