Carl's piercing gaze fixed on Jess as he spoke, "So, you again drooled the whole bottle inside you?" The words were delivered with a hint of accusation, and Jess responded plainly, "I don't know." I couldn't help but turn my eyes to Jess, curious about what was going on between them.
Carl continued, "I think I don't need to tell a doctor what impact even a single sip of alcohol can have on your organs." He turned around and walked towards the kitchen, leaving me with my mouth agape. I glanced at Jess, who didn't seem affected by Carl's words. He briefly met my gaze before striding towards the door and slamming it behind him.
Left alone, I found myself staring at the blank wall in front of me. As I blinked, a sudden image of Jess in a doctor's coat and blue pajamas with a stethoscope around his neck filled my mind. The realization of his profession shocked me, and I struggled to contain the smile that threatened to emerge.
