Seeing this, Karina grew anxious and immediately said, “Alright, don’t worry. I’ll help you get there.”
Without hesitation, she carefully supported the girl and quickly headed toward the park entrance.
Wilfred, who had been keeping an eye on them from a distance, noticed their hurried departure and quickly walked over to ask, “What’s going on? What happened?”
The girl looked up briefly, her annoyance flashing across her face. Clenching her teeth, she said, “Dr. Wilfred, I’m not feeling well, and I only want Karina with me. Don’t follow us. Just stay back. I don’t want to see you. Seeing you makes me even more upset.”
Wilfred frowned, worry written all over his face, but he held back his frustration and reluctantly agreed. “Alright, but be careful. If anything happens, call me immediately.”
He stopped in his tracks, his concerned gaze fixed on their retreating figures as he maintained a discreet distance, silently following them from afar.
Karina supported the girl with steady but brisk steps, her voice calm and soothing. “Just hang in there a little longer. We’re almost at the clinic.”
The girl nodded weakly, her head leaning heavily on Karina’s shoulder. Yet, if someone looked closely, they might catch a glimmer of cunning and calculation in her eyes, hidden behind the curtain of her falling hair.
Before long, they reached a small roadside clinic. The clinic was modest, with dim lighting and the faint scent of disinfectant lingering in the air.
The girl acted as if she hadn’t heard him. Grabbing Karina’s hand, she urged in a hurried tone, “Karina, let’s go. I’m really fine now. I feel so uncomfortable staying here. I just want to leave.”
With that, she ignored the doctor’s protests entirely and began pulling Karina toward the clinic door.
Caught off guard, Karina stumbled slightly, her worry evident. Turning back to the doctor, she said apologetically, “I’m so sorry, Doctor. She might be feeling too resistant to this. I’ll try to—”
The doctor sighed heavily, his frustration clear as he shook his head. He hung the stethoscope back around his neck and waved dismissively. “Fine, fine. But if she feels unwell again, make sure you bring her back right away. Don’t take this lightly.”
