The next morning…
Clifford visited Bianca at her apartment early in the morning. They didn't meet last night as Bianca stayed with Olive in the hospital. Olive would also be discharged today. Her doctor friend arrived at around 10 pm. That's the time Bianca went back home.
"Why didn't you answer my call last night? You said we would have a meal together. But the moment I arrived at your apartment, it was closed." Clifford lamented to her, feeling worried.
Bianca just looked at Clifford silently. She didn't answer his call last night because she was afraid… afraid that he would know that they were in the hospital. She wondered if Clifford would have a change of heart once he found out that Olive was sick.
"Hey, are you okay? You don't look good." Clifford moved closer to her, cupping her face. Bianca looked flustered and distracted. He wondered what happened last night.
