Elizabeth sneered, "Oh? If you're not a total i***t, then you should damn well know what I'm getting at."
"You really think someone just randomly goes blind out of nowhere, no signs at all?"
"What are you trying to say?" Ethan's hands clenched without him realizing.
"Ahem... Water... I need water..."
A frail voice came from the hospital bed-Scarlett had stirred, cutting through the tension between the two at once.
Ethan rushed to grab her hand, but Elizabeth shoved him aside, eyes blazing. "Get lost. You don't deserve to touch her!"
"Water... I'm so thirsty... please..."
Elizabeth quickly poured a glass and gently helped Scarlett drink. She gulped it down like someone who'd just crawled out of the desert.
"Slow down. Feeling any better? Still want more?"
Scarle
