A Moment in Destiny

“It hurts!” Leila whimpered.

“Are you alright? Leila?” Julian asked nervously while checking her injuries.

“I'll take you to the hospital!” Julian could no longer listen to what other people had to say and made a move to carry her.

“Don't touch her first, see if there are any broken bones?” Someone in the background said.

“If I can’t touch her, what should I do if she continued bleeding?” Julian was getting even more anxious.

“There should not be any bones that are broken!” Leila said with a frown. Although it was really painful, she could still move her hands and legs, the injures was not that serious.

“I'll take you to the hospital, let’s get you checked first. Leila, are you really sure that your bones are not fractured?” Julian carefully held her shoulders as he looked down with a worried expression and asked, only to noticed that Leila’s face was very pale, eighty percent of it was caused by the scare she got.

“I should be fine, just help me get up!” She could not tell where her body was hurt as it seemed like every part of her body felt pain. Her forehead was bleeding from the fall, her arms were all scraped, and the stinging pain at her ankle made Leila so uncomfortable that she could not open her eyes. Her hand grabbed onto Julian’s arm to try to stand up.

“Alright!” Julian supported her and pulled her up. “How is it? Does it hurt?”

“Just a bit, it’s okay!” Leila replied in an incomparably weak voice, it sounded so fragile as if she was about to die, it was frightening.

Julian’s dark eyes narrowed as he moved her body over and wrapped his arms around her to carry her, “Let’s go to the hospital first.”

The hospital.

Leila was sent into the emergency room for a thorough examination.

By the time she came out, it had been half an hour. The wound on her forehead was cleaned, the scrapes on her body were also cleaned and medicated. The good thing was that it was only a soft tissue contusion and her bones were not broken. The doctor suggested her to stay overnight for further observation to prevent a concussion from happening.

“There is no need, I want to go back!” Leila said to the doctor. "I'm really fine!"

“How is this fine? You have to stay in the hospital for further observation, just listen to the doctor!” Julian held her down on the hospital bed. “If the doctor says you are fine tomorrow, only then we can go back!”

“There really is no need!” Leila stared at him with her beautiful eyes wide open. This was because she did not expect that it was Julian who had injured her in the first place.

“Just do as you're told, and let my conscience be at peace, otherwise I might not even sleep well tonight!” As Julian’s hands were on the edge of the bed, he leaned down and his sharp gaze was focus on her. “And, I’m sorry, the car had a flat tire, and I could not control it!”

“Alright!” Leila could only nod in agreement when she saw how earnestly he said it.

“Are you sure that you are all right?” He moved closer to her.

“Uh... I ...” His sudden approach appalled her. Leila, whom was lying on the white hospital bed, retracted back, her small hands gripping on the edge of the quilt. “I’m okay... I'm sure I’ll be fine!”

“Do you want to give a call to your family?” Julian asked.
