Zhen-Zhen just finished her afternoon class today. She was about to go home when she decided to drop by in the supermarket. She would be sleeping tonight at her foster parents' house.
She already brought FaMo and Pam-Pam to Meyer's house this morning before going to school. Tomorrow, she would be staying at the Davis Mansion to bond with Grandpa Lu and Tristan's parents.
Zhen-Zhen wanted to buy groceries for her foster parents. She would also cook for them tonight. That was her initial plan. She already learned how to cook different menus with the help and guidance of her mother-in-law.
She was walking to the pedestrian lane going to the supermarket when suddenly a motorcycle was rushing in her way. The moment she saw it coming her way, she knew that she could dodge it with her speed and agility.
However she could make a move, someone already took action, pushing her on the other side to avoid being hit by the motorcycle.
*Thud*
"Argh!"
Zhen-Zhen was not hurt but someone suffered on her behalf. The person who's wincing in pain right now was Clifford.
He was following her going to the supermarket when he saw the motorcycle rushing in her direction. He immediately ran to her side to save her.
Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen gasped when she saw Clifford on the ground, holding his waist. He was in pain. It only meant that Clifford was hit by the motorcycle.
Zhen-Zhen quickly approached him with a concerned look in her eyes.
"Clifford, are you alright? Can you stand? Wait, I will just call an ambulance. We should go to the hospital."
Clifford just nodded at her with a forced smile on his face as if he was hiding his pain through that smile. Zhen-Zhen assisted him to stand up.
"I think we should just take a cab and head straight to the hospital," Zhen-Zhen suggested to Clifford.
"Oh sure, we can do that."
After getting his approval, Zhen-Zhen looked for a cab immediately. It did not take long when a taxi cab stopped in front of them.
They didn't waste more time. They stepped inside the car and asked the driver to bring them to the nearest hospital in the area.
Upon arriving in the emergency room, the nurses and the doctor examined Clifford right away. Zhen-Zhen waited in the waiting area.
She was worried about Clifford. At the same time, she felt guilty for him. He was the one who got hurt because he saved her.
Though she could handle it by herself, Clifford took action just to make her safe not knowing that she could protect herself even if he didn't intervene.
Zhen-Zhen became anxious since the doctor and the nurse who treated Clifford didn't leave his ward yet. She wondered if Clifford got severe injuries from that accident.
After the long wait, finally the doctor went out to see Zhen-Zhen.
"Doc, how is he?" Zhen-Zhen asked the doctor right away when she approached him.
"He just twisted his ankle but it's not severe. After a week or two he will feel better and can walk comfortably. His side was hit so he got bruises on his body. His hand has abrasion due to his fall." The doctor explained Clifford's condition to Zhen-Zhen.
"By the way, Miss, your boyfriend…"
Zhen-Zhen waved her hands and shook her head to correct the doctor's wrong assumption.
"Oh, Doc, he is not my boyfriend."
The doctor just looked at her with a smile. He didn't completely believe her since Clifford already told them that she's his girlfriend.
"I mean the patient wishes to be discharged as he refused to stay in the hospital. Since it's just a minor injury, he could treat his injury at home. You can do cold compress for his sprained ankle."
"Alright, Doc. Thank you for taking care of him."
Soon the door of Clifford's ward was opened and Clifford emerged from it. He was using crutches for him to walk.
Zhen-Zhen felt sorry for him. She was thinking that it was her fault that's why Clifford ended up like this.
"Hey, Don't give me such a face," Clifford said as he noticed the sad expression on Zhen-Zhen's face.
"I'm sorry… because of me you got hurt. And thank you for saving me," Zhen-Zhen mumbled with so much sincerity in her words.
"No, it's not your fault. It's my own decision to jump there. You know I am trying to play a 'hero thing' here," Clifford said, cracking some jokes to make Zhen-Zhen's mood become lighter.
He didn't want her to blame herself.
"But still… I feel that I am responsible for this."
Clifford's eyes lit up when he heard that. The bright smile was still pasted on his handsome face.
"Hmm, then take responsibility for me. Take care of me tonight. Drop me home and cook for me. Can you do that for me? After that, will you stop blaming yourself?" Clifford asked her expectantly. There was a gleam of excitement in his eyes while looking at her.
Zhen-Zhen fell silent for a moment. She's biting her lower lip while contemplating whether to agree or not.
Since her conscience overpowered her, Zhen-Zhen decided to fulfill Clifford's request. Besides, she really felt guilty for him for what happened.
"Alright, I will do that for you, at least. Let's go?"
Clifford rejoiced inwardly when Zhen-Zhen agreed. He just nodded his head. Then they went out of the hospital. Zhen-Zhen was assisting him to walk.
They grabbed another taxi cab to bring them to Clifford's place. Clifford's car was left near the supermarket. He already instructed Dexter to get his car.
Just a few days ago, Clifford was still thinking of a better way to get closer to Zhen-Zhen. Who would have thought that the incident that happened today would help him a lot with his plan?
Honestly, he was having fun doing this. He never imagined that plotting revenge like this against Tristan Davis would be enjoyable and full of excitement.
He couldn't wait to see the reaction of Tristan once he learned that he became very close with his wife while he was busy working abroad.
