Rachel thought about Thomas’ instructions to Tyler when he called him, and almost burst out laughing.

“Did you get confused along the way? Your father told you to visit William, and you went there to warn him instead?”

Tyler pressed his tongue against his lip and said, “He should have known that his request was outrageous to begin with. How could I just visit him and do nothing else? It’s good enough that I didn’t break his other arm.”

Rachel nodded thoughtfully, agreeing that sounded more like what Tyler would do. William should really consider himself lucky.

By the time they left the hospital, it was past nine at night. There was a street market right outside the hospital that was teeming with people.

Rachel had been so busy recently; it had been a long while since she had eaten at a bustling street like this. The smell of barbecued meats made her stomach growl, but she thought Tyler wouldn’t be used to eating street-side food. Rachel retracted her gaze longingly and made a move to walk away with Tyler.

To her surprise, Tyler stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her.

“Are you hungry?”

“Hmm?”

Rachel was rather surprised at Tyler’s sudden question.

He looked at her confused face and repeated patiently, “I asked if you were hungry. Do you want some food?”

Rachel’s eyes lit up in an instant. “Really? I want some food, but can you eat street food?”

Tyler shot her a look. “I’m a man. Why can’t I eat some street food? Choose a stall you want.”

“I want that,” Rachel said as she pointed to the barbecued meat stall with the longest queue. Although it probably couldn’t compare to the one outside her school, she surmised that this stall wouldn’t be that bad, given how popular it seemed.

Rachel sat down at a table and waved Tyler over to join her. The moment he sat down, she realized something. Even in the simplest of garbs, Tyler stuck out like a sore thumb in a place like this. When he was walking toward her, everyone’s attention was drawn to him.

“Goodness, he’s so handsome! What a piece of work!”

“That aura he exudes is outstanding. He might just be a big shot from somewhere.”

“Check out that towering frame and impressive figure. He’s totally my type! I want to ask him for his number. Do you think he’ll give it to me?”

“Are you blind? Don’t you see a beauty seated next to him? She looks fabulous, too.”

“I want to ask her for her number.”

“I’ll go with you.”

A crowd started forming around Tyler and Rachel.

One of the ladies approached Tyler and asked coyly, “Hi, can I have your number, please?”

“Miss, I’m an intern at a nearby hospital. May I have your number, please? If any of your family members and friends need help, I’ll be glad to help out.”

Rachel gave him an awkward smile.

“Well…”
