Stephanie received a script and signed a confidentiality agreement. She had not come back to see Spencer for more than four months. Unexpectedly, the patient had lived at home.
“Which room … does he live in?” Stephanie stared at Spencer.
“What are you thinking? He doesn’t live in your room. He lives in the room next to yours.” Spencer pointed to a room that had been filled with sundries.
“Isn’t there no bed in that room?” Stephanie asked in astonishment.
“Yes, he made a mat and slept on it at night.” Spencer said.
“What? Just sleeping like that? Aren’t you uncomfortable?” Stephanie asked as she looked at Harold. “Where are your family?”
Harold shook his head.
“You lost your memory and didn’t remember your parents?” Stephanie asked.
“His parents were long gone, and he was alone. He was in a car accident and his face was disfigured.” Spencer said on behalf of Harold.
“I’m sorry.” Stephanie looked at Harold and said, “Then you can stay here. Spencer lives here alone. It’s nice that you could accompany him. I’ll get my assistant to buy clothes now. What size do you take? What size are your shoes?”
Spencer originally thought that his words could let Stephanie realize that the person in front of him was Harold. Unexpectedly, she did not react after hearing it. He could not help but sigh and went to the door to move things.
Harold stood in place and answered all of Stephanie’s questions in a dull manner.
Stephanie wrote them down and sent them to her assistant. Then, she looked at Harold and said, “Your tone is also very similar to a person.”
She didn’t say who he sounded like, and Harold didn’t ask.
There were always some pests in the bathroom in the village. When Stephanie was bathing, she felt something slide over her shoulder. She immediately screamed.
When Harold heard the noise in the room, he immediately ran over. He directly barged in and saw Stephanie, who was naked. He immediately turned around. She was wiping away the foam on her eyes and shouted to the person behind her, “Who is it? Why don’t you knock when you come in?”
Harold saw a snake above her and whispered, “I’m coming in.”
Stephanie finally wiped her eyes and was about to turn around.
Harold made a prompt decision and stepped forward. He quickly grabbed the snake. Before Stephanie turned around, he threw the snake out.
When Stephanie turned around, she saw him throw something out.
“What did you throw?” Stephanie covered her body with a towel and said angrily, “What’s wrong with you? Didn’t you notice that I’m taking a shower? I won’t argue with you for the sake of you being my grandfather’s patient. Go out now.”
“Alright.” Harold quickly closed the door and went out.
After taking a shower, Stephanie told Spencer about it. She doubted that Harold was definitely peeping at her. She thought that he had a bad character. She felt pity that his parents were dead. However, his character was poor and he was not worthy of being treated by his grandfather.
Spencer almost spat out the tea in his mouth when he heard what she said.
“He peeped at you while you are taking a shower?” Spencer couldn’t believe it, and then he laughed.
Stephanie glared at him, “Grandpa, why are you helping him? You don’t believe me? He really … directly barged in and stared at me for a long time before leaving.”
“You said he was peeping. Why did he go in and stare at you?” Spencer asked.
…
Stephanie was speechless for a long time, and then suddenly remembered that she seemed to have called out.
“I thought there was something above me, so I called out. I didn’t expect that he would suddenly barge in?”
“He is not a bad person. You have misunderstood him.” Spencer patted her hand.
Stephanie left, unconvinced. She used the flashlight of her phone to light up the door of the bathroom. She wanted to see what exactly Harold had thrown out, but she could not find it after a long time.
On the way back, she passed by Harold’s room. She thought of that Spencer had said that he was going to sleep on the floor. She could not help but push open the door to take a look. Sure enough, she saw Harold sleeping on the mat. Furthermore, he was sitting and fell asleep, his back against the wall.
What a strange man.
The next day, the assistant drove the rented truck over to deliver things. There was a bed, a goose-down pillow, a thin quilt, an air conditioner, as well as four or five sets of men’s clothes, including underwear, and a few pairs of men’s shoes. There were all kinds of shoes, including leather shoes, slippers and sneakers.
Harold stayed in the room without coming out.
“Stephanie, are you in love?” the assistant asked quietly as he moved things out.
“What?” Stephanie pointed at herself. “You mean me? Can I hide it from you if I’m in love?”
“Then you…?” The assistant pointed at the super large and comfortable bed on the truck.
“A patient treated by my grandfather,” Stephanie said concisely, “was in a car accident. He is quite pitiful. His parents were gone.”
“I see.” The assistant nodded understandingly. “Stephanie, you’re so good.”
“Come on.. Bring the things in.”
