Peter teased Mark playfully while treating his wound.
“You’re not a young school kid anymore. Perhaps it’s time you learned the art of patience.”
Mark’s suppressed anger flared up again. “Are you kidding me? | don’t think | hit him hard enough. Next time | see him, I’ll beat him to death.”
While the two were talking, they were suddenly interrupted by a commotion at the door.
Peter went out to investigate and soon returned with someone. It was Cecilia.
Having worked for Mark for many years, Peter was sensible, and he went out to give the two some privacy.
Cecilia took a few steps forward, but she didn’t dare to get too close to Mark.
Mark clamped a fresh cigarette between his lips and lit it. After taking a drag, he asked softly, “What’re you doing here?”

Cecilia was stunned for a moment, but she soon understood what he meant.
She took a deep breath and answered, “Well, | don’t like him that much.”
Then she let go of his hand and whispered, “There. All fixed up.”
Cecilia tried to stand up to leave, but the man stopped her.
