I had shed too many tears today, at least, on my birthday, I wanted to save a last bit of dignity for myself.
In my sleep, my phone vibrated and I pressed the answer button in a half-conscious.
Cornell's roar could be heard from the other end of the phone. "Hailey, hurry and come to the hospital! Something happened to Margot."
I instantly woke up. Could it be that the message she sent was serious?
I didn't even change my clothes and rushed out wearing pajamas and slippers.
As soon as I arrived to the ward, I saw Margot leaning against the head of the bed and Cornell was gently peeling an apple for her.
The two of them spent their time peacefully, while I slipped out with half of my foot in slippers, like a clown.
Seeing me appear, he suddenly jumped up and dragged me to the bedside, ordering. "Kneel down and apologize to Margot!"
I looked up in shock, but before I could react, my leg suddenly got hit hard.
My knee hit the ground hard and the excruciating pain made me unable to move for a moment.
"Cornell! Are you crazy?" I stared at him fiercely.
