Pete, who was standing beside Gabriela, gave her sadvice in a sarcastic tone. "Aren't you going to ask Mrs. Hawk how she got injured and how serious her condition is? "Since you two might end up as fellow patients, you should try to engage with her more.

Just as Alex was about to explain, I stopped him and looked. up at Pete with a faint expression. "Pete, you don't need to be sarcastic with me. I just want to ask you one thing..." Before I could finish, the hospital's inteannounced, "Ms. Gabriela Lambert, please proceed to Room One for an X-ray." Gabriela nervously tugged at Pete's sleeve and said feebly, "Pete, it's my turn.

"It's your turn?" Frowning, Pete glanced at me, then at Gabriela in his arms. He squatted down slightly to place Gabriela on the ground "If it's your turn, then just go! Why are you telling me?" Shaking his arm, he added, "You're really heavy. Didn't your manager tell you to control your weight?" Gabriela's face darkened at being criticized about her weight by a man she admired.
