Seeing Sunny's reaction, Xante's suspicion was basically confirmed.
"Okay, I won't call the doctor." She sat on the chair next to the bed. "But how about I open up the bandage to check how the wound is doing?"
Sunny's face froze. "Uh... I don't think that's necessary. I'm really okay, Xante."
Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and said seriously, "You won't let me or the doctor check your wound, so I can't help but think you're not injured at all." Sunny blinked and immediately looked away. "Of course I'm injured! Why would I be lying here if I'm not injured?"
Xante stared at him coldly. "Okay, you said you were injured, right? I'm going to check the hospital's emergency records to see if you're on the patient list!" Xante stood up, turned, and walked out of the room.
Sunny knew his cover was blown, so he quickly sat up on the hospital bed and said, "Xante! Don't go. I admit I was lying! You were right... I wasn't injured at all..." Xante stopped and turned to glare at him. "Why did you lie to me?"
Sunny got down from the bed and lowered his head like a dog who caused trouble.
"I have to stay in the hospital with my dad, but I miss you so much, so I came up with this lie to get you to come here."
"You could've just told me that instead of putting up this charade!" said Xante with a darkened expression.
"But would you have come then? You would've just told me to look after my dad and ignore me after that, I'm sure."
Xante was speechless. 'He's right. I most probably wouldn't come if he had told me the truth. I mean, why should I come? It's not like I'm close with his dad.'
"I'm right, aren't I? You wouldn't have come if I didn't tell you I was injured," said Sunny when he saw she had fallen silent. "But I'm really glad you came after you knew I was injured. I was so worried that you wouldn't even come then. Xante..."
Sunny threw his arms around her and gave her a tight squeeze. "Thank you so much for coming."
Xante frowned in embarrassment. "Ahem, ahem! Let me go! Behave yourself!"
Sunny nuzzled against her. "Why do I need to behave myself? Xante, we're a couple, so it's only normal to hug like this."
Xante patted his back helplessly. "Have you forgotten your dad is in the room with us?"
Sunny was stunned. He really forgot!
