    Marks


    --


    Morning, the hospital has many people than yesterday, althoug the ce is not crowded, it was enough


    to make the ce feel like not a ce for dead people to wander around.


    Among the patients in their hospital gowns, the nurses in their uniform, the visitors in their casual


    clothes, three people that were walking down the corridor especially stood out.


    It was two men and a woman. The woman who was walking ahead of the other two, wore a white


    blouse and a grey pencil skirt. Drape over the long sleeve white blouse is a grey zer. Her ck


    leather heeled sandals were clicking on the titled floor as she walks.


    The other two on the other hand, were wearing a three pieced suit, back and navy blue.


    As the three passes through other people on the corridor, they can''t help but take a second look and


    turn to stop. The three were well known businessmen and woman, so they can''t help but wonder:


    Who are they here for?


    The question was not lef unanswered, the woman in front stopped in front of a door and was about to


    knock when it opened on its own.


    The woman left her hand hanging on the air, she raised her brow towards the one who opened the


    door.


    Thedy who opened the door looked at her expressionlessly. She asked, "Is there something you


    need?"


    The woman withdraw her hand and smiled at her, "Is Althea here?"


    The other next to the door eyed he three warily. She smiled,pletely knowing why she was on


    guard. Althea was shot yesterday aftr all.


    "Oh, we are here to update her about what happened yesterday. Also, she knows us. We were


    ssmates in college."


    Ba raised an eyebrow. "Friends?"


    Friends...?


    April showed a difficult expression, "Well... no."


    Ba nodded. "Okay. Juste inside, she''s already awake."


    April was shock about how easy it was. She smiled at Ba merrily. "Thank you."


    She shrugged, "You are wee, if you admitted that you were friends, i would have not let you enter."


    The three were amused, Dave asked, "Why?"


    Ba looked at him, "Because she never mentioned to us that she has college friends."


    "..." Oh.


    Ba then bid them goodbye, saying she has to go back to the shop because she has matters to take


    cae of. Despite not knowing what shop she meant, April wished her good luck and watched her leave.


    After seeing her enter the elevator, the three entered the room under the watch of the other people.


    After they closed the door behind them, the people were left behind with wondering mind.


    .


    The first thing they saw inside was a lone white bed in the center, a bedside table, and a sofa. On the


    bed, Althea was already sitting while looking out from the window.


    They can only see the back of her head, strands of her hair were swaying gently on the winding


    from the open window.


    She was quite, the room was quite, and with the clicking sound of the door, she turned to look who


    came inside.


    "Hello Althea," April smiled at her. "Good morning. How are you?"


    "... I''m fine." Althea replied.


    April observed her, Althea''s face is not as pale as before. Although she looks frail that she can be


    blown by the wind in any second, she has vitality in her face at least.


    "That''s good..." April said.


    Althea did not reply her, so the four stared at each other in silence.


    Aaron is simply quiet, so it was April and Dave who were ufortable with the silence.


    The two wanted to speam and say anything but nothinges in their mind.


    It was Althea who sighed first and broke the silence. "Speak. Why are the three of you here early in the


    morning?"


    April hesitated before saying seriously. "I''m here to update you about the man who shot you yesterday.


    And, uh, before that, I would like to apologize..."


    Her voice grew smaller and smaller, seeing that the other merely stared at her, her lips twitched, and


    she was Force to finish her sentence. Althea''s gaze was intense. "... Because we dragged you up, one


    thing lead to another and this happened..."


    Althea still has no response. April thought it was odd, Althea was not angry and she did not even


    chased them out of the room, and she thought that maybe Althea was traumatized with what happened


    and can''t utter a word.


    With that thought, she was sunken into guilt again. She casted her gaze down in attempt to avoid her


    gaze, but what her eyes caught made her flinched a little.


    Althea was also wearing a hospital gown, this gown is naturally short sleeves.


    April''s brows furrowed after seeing what was on Althea''s arms. The more she stares at it, the more she


    thinks it''s familiar.


    Then the scene in the bathroom entered her mind.


    Right, that time, she saw these marks too! Althea was wearing a long sleeved gown that evening, but


    since she was washing her arms, that part of her waspletely exposed.


    April thought she was just hallucinating that part, but seeing them up close, who thought that there


    were several marks on her arms?


    After confirming that those marks were cuts from attempted suicide, she looked up at Althea with


    complicated eyes.
