Mitchell and Bale had no idea at all that they would be able to see the head coach in Wood's mother's ward. They then excitedly surrounded Twain, almost forgetting why they had even come in the first place.
It was Twain who took the initiative to update them on Wood's mother's condition, and the two then realized they were a little disrespectful. Luckily, Wood was not the petty type who would take their uncouth behaviors to heart.
Mitchell and Bale were visiting Wood and his mother at the hospital as friends. Wood did not tell them about his decision to retire as a football player, but they brought up the subject themselves.
"George, I heard you are thinking about retirement. Is that true?" Bale stared at Wood, questioning him.
Twain and Wood glanced at each other when they heard Bale's question.
Bale did not notice the little look Twain and Wood shared so he and Mitchell looked at Wood, hoping for a reply from him.
