Serena Jennings didn’t expect to stay in the hospital for five days.
During that time, the police came to make a record and investigate. Because the juvenile detention center housed minors and Serena wasn’t substantially harmed, Sean Sanders and the others merely had their detention extended.
In these five days, Caleb Lockwood never showed up.
This was within Serena’s expectations. When she had a miscarriage before, Caleb also didn’t visit her.
Not only did he not come, but he also went sea fishing with Claire Shaw on vacation.
Serena blew on the warm water in her cup, took a sip, and felt an unbearable bitterness in her mouth.
Mr. Miller, as usual, brought her Caleb’s consolation gift—
A bunch of pink roses.
When she was hospitalized due to the miscarriage, she had also received them; back then, she couldn’t bear to throw them away.
"Lana, do me a favor."
"Just say it." Lana Xavier walked over.
"Help me throw this bunch of flowers into the trash can." Serena handed the flowers to Lana without any reluctance.
"I’ve been waiting for you to say that!" Lana hugged the large bundle of fresh flowers and walked out of the ward without a second thought.
Lana knew well about Serena’s pollen allergy, but she also knew that Serena was crazy about Caleb Lockwood. If it was sent by Caleb, even manure would be gladly accepted.
Without flowers in the room, fresh air started to flow again.
It’s just a pity the peaceful hospital life was still disrupted.
Caleb Lockwood came—
He brought Claire Shaw along.
As Claire Shaw passed through the corridor, she saw the pink rose bouquet stuffed in the trash can with a slight turn of her head.
With packaging and flowers like these, it’s obvious Caleb Lockwood had someone send them.
Claire Shaw stopped and looked regretful, "Such beautiful flowers, throwing them away like this is too wasteful!"
Only after hearing Claire’s words did Caleb notice the discarded flowers.
When he sent flowers to Claire, whether the variety or packaging, he personally selected them.
Yet the ones he sent to Serena, he entrusted to Mr. Miller.
However, Mr. Miller had been with him for a long time and knew his preferences and tastes, so Caleb immediately recognized the bouquet in the trash was sent to Serena, as he had directed Mr. Miller.
Caleb said nothing, though his deep eyes seemed to darken further, like ink.
He walked ahead of Claire, and as he entered the ward, he saw Justin Nash, sitting beside Serena’s bed, peeling an apple.
Justin’s hands were skillful, shaping the apple into a small rabbit. Upon seeing Caleb enter, he immediately used a fruit fork to feed a piece to Serena.
Actually, before Caleb arrived, Serena had been eating apples on her own, not having Justin feed her.
Serena opened her mouth and took a bite of the apple, its taste a blend of sweet and sour.
"Is your injury on your hand?" Caleb asked coldly.
Serena shook her head, "No."
"Then why aren’t you eating by yourself?"
Caleb’s questioning suddenly made the temperature in the room drop several degrees.
Justin originally intended to retort Caleb but saw Serena waving her hand.
"I now feel like being pampered just like you," Serena looked at Caleb, her gaze showing no hints of weakness.
Caleb remained silent for a moment, a smile tugged at his lips.
Serena had to admit, Caleb’s appearance was indeed striking, especially his faintly smiling lips, carrying a natural allure.
"Are you reminding me not to forget your years of hard work and dedication?"
Serena didn’t mean that, but she was too lazy to correct Caleb’s misunderstanding of her.
