Serena Jennings was accompanied by Ethan White.
Caleb Lockwood vaguely remembered that it was Ethan White and Serena Jennings who took him to the hospital together.
But he didn’t want to thank Ethan White.
Caleb Lockwood’s gaze quickly moved from Ethan White to Serena Jennings’ face.
Serena had changed her clothes; the white evening dress she wore last night was stained with blood from his vomiting and definitely couldn’t be worn again.
Serena and Caleb Lockwood’s eyes met.
She wasn’t sure if it was because Caleb Lockwood was weak from his recent surgery or for some other reason, but Serena felt that his eyes were different from before.
Especially when he looked at her.
In the past, Caleb Lockwood’s eyes were like ice, cold and piercing.
But now, they had melted into water, tender and affectionate.
This kind of gaze was truly easy to get lost in.
Serena smiled faintly.
Luckily, she had escaped.
She handed the hospital bills to Caleb Lockwood.
"Take good care of yourself, I’ll be leaving first."
As Caleb Lockwood reached out to take the bills, he unexpectedly grabbed Serena’s wrist.
Serena’s fingers loosened, and several sheets of the bills scattered over the bed.
Caleb Lockwood’s hand felt very cold.
It had always been this cold.
Now, having just completed surgery, it could only be colder.
Serena didn’t immediately shake off Caleb Lockwood’s hand.
But she definitely wouldn’t take the initiative to hold his hand.
Their hands just hung in mid-air like that.
Silently watching from the side were Ethan White and Wendy Linton, their expressions unchanged, yet their eyes brimming with turmoil.
"Could you... stay with me for a little while longer..."
Caleb Lockwood’s voice was gentle, with an unusual hint of humility in his tone.
Serena lightly raised her eyelids.
"You already have someone with you."
Serena forcefully withdrew her hand.
The warmth at her fingertips was taken away, and Caleb Lockwood despondently curled his fingers, rubbing his fingertips before lowering his hand.
Serena turned to leave, and a few people entered from outside the door.
Leading them were Arthur Lockwood and Lilian Young.
"Where are you going?"
Lilian Young blocked Serena’s path.
"Your husband just had surgery, and you’re not here with him, instead you brought a pretty boy to provoke. Do you have any decency?"
"Mom!"
Before Serena and Ethan White could respond, Caleb Lockwood shouted.
The deep shout was a deterrent to Lilian Young, and she immediately fell silent.
Next to her, Arthur Lockwood looked sternly at Serena.
"Serena... could you step outside for a moment? I have something I want to say to you."
Although Arthur Lockwood had a strong presence, Serena remained unafraid, calm and composed.
"Alright!"
Just as she took a step, Ethan White intended to join her.
"Dr. Page..."
Arthur Lockwood immediately turned his head to warn, "Serena and Caleb haven’t divorced yet; Serena is still my daughter-in-law. I don’t wish for outsiders to be present when talking to my daughter-in-law, so Dr. Page, please maintain your dignity and stop following women around like a shadow."
After speaking, Arthur Lockwood strode briskly out of the hospital room.
Serena patted Ethan White’s shoulder.
"Don’t mind them, the Lockwood family has always been like this, lacking manners."
"You!"
Arthur Lockwood, who had just opened the door, was infuriated by Serena’s words.
Lilian Young wanted to scold Serena too, but with Wendy Linton present, she felt it was improper to act too coarse.
Serena followed Arthur Lockwood out of the hospital room, and he led her to the hospital cafeteria.
They sat facing each other.
Serena appeared relaxed, while Arthur Lockwood adopted a guarded posture.
After a moment of silence, Arthur Lockwood started:
