The reason

Erika was infuriated, the more she heard Sam putting good words for Ava the more she started to hate her. At that moment Erika was really being unreasonable because she didn't want to hear about Ava, maybe it was because of her own jealousy she could see the reasons.

"You had no intention to hurt me? Then Sam what was your intention? Did you ever felt guilty for using me like that or lying to me like that?" Erika suddenly lost her temper completely and she took the plate full of apples from the bedside table and smashed it on the floor. When she came into the ward she saw Ava prepared that plate for Sam so she got really jealous when her eyes fell on the plate.

Sam, who hardly loses his temper suddenly got very angry. He looked at Erika and shouted out, "Erika, have you had enough?"

"No, Sam, it's not enough, you two shouldn't have lie to me from the beginning." Erika's eyes turned red in anger and she was breathing heavily.

"Erika, please calm down. Ava lied to you because she wanted us to be together. She didn't want you to have any knot in your heart because of our relationship. You tell me if you knew from the beginning that I was in love with her what would you think? She thought you would be sad and disappointed. She also thought she would lose her friend. It's that simple. What's more, the person she loves has never been me and she always made it clear!" Samuel was completely enraged by Erika's unreasonable behavior, so he finally told her the reason why Ava hid it from her. He hoped at least now she will try to see reasons.

Sam got so excited and because of the shouting, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. He held his head with both hands and started to cry in pain.

Erika saw Sam was holding his head in pain, she frowned and unconsciously held his hand and asked worriedly, "Sam, are you alright? Are you in pain?"

Sam didn't answer his head was aching terribly he just held his head, Erika panicked and rushed out of the ward to find a doctor. She found a doctor and almost dragged him to Sam's ward to check him.

The middle-aged doctor rushed into Sam's ward and saw Sam was curled up in the bed holding his head in pain. He immediately checked him and gave him some pain relief medicine then he turned to Erika and said with a serious face, "The patient has a slight concussion, he needs to rest more. Please make sure not to talk too much with him, and let him have a good rest."

"OK, thank you, doctor," Erika said lightly, but there was a sense of guilt in her heart. She blamed herself for being too impulsive and lose her temper like that.

"Are you ok?" Erika said after a few minutes. She felt embarrassed for shouting at him like that.

"Erika, what I said to you just now is all true, I hope you can think about it when you go home. Ava never intended to hurt you. You just misunderstood her. And I never thought of cheating you, it's just the circumstances turned that way and I am really sorry that you have been hurt because of me." Samuel said sincerely, although he hated Oliver, but he always considered Erika as his friend.

Erika fell silent. When she thought about what Sam had said, it did make sense to her and she thought if she was at Ava's place maybe she would do the same. She suddenly felt ashamed of herself for shouting like that with him, she also broke her friendship with Ava because of this. She was now feeling very guilty in her heart.

"Sam I am really sorry I got overexcited and said mean things to you," Erika said lowering her head. She was so embarrassed that she couldn't even look at Sam.

"It's OK, I can understand. I don't blame you, Erika. I just hope you can put it all behind and move on" Sam said with a soft smile.

Although he was angry at her but he also understood her character. Erika was a simple and straightforward person, so when she was hurt it was normal for her to react like that.

"I apologize to you on behalf of my brother for beating you," Erika said lightly.

"It's ok. Don't worry about it."

"Ok. I should go back now. You take a good rest." Erika sighed deeply. These things are so messy that her head was aching.

"OK!" Sam said in a low voice.

Erika left the ward and all the way home she kept thinking about what Sam said to her. Now that she knew everything she still couldn't bring herself to hate him. She might not love him deeply but she does like him very much. As for Ava, although Erika still thinks that Ava shouldn't have hidden the truth from her but she also understood why she did that.
