Chapter 8

That night, I finished my night shift and encountered a group of drunk middle-aged men.

They started grabbing at me, and I struggled to fight them off. Fintan rushed over and got into a scuffle with them.

Fintan was outnumbered four to one and was beaten bloody. If the Police hadn't arrived in time, he might not have made it.

I was slightly injured too, and we were both taken to the hospital.

As we sat in the ER getting our wounds treated, he smiled happily.

"Darling, we're finally sitting together again."

I turned away, ignoring him, just wanting to get patched up and leave as soon as possible.

Thankfully, someone came to visit me, putting a stop to his pestering.

It was the female student I had saved before. She was recovering in this hospital and, hearing I was here, rushed over to see if I was alright.

Fintan stood up to leave: "I'm all bandaged up. You two chat, I won't disturb you."

Watching his retreating figure, I found it laughable.
