Gordon didn’t say a word.
Being met with silence, Aiken felt awkward and touched his nose.
Twenty minutes later, the car pulled to a stop in front of Gordon’s apartment.
“We’re here.”
Aiken had gone out of his way to pick Gordon up from the airport so late, yet Gordon didn’t say anything.
What an inconsiderate, stubborn man! No wonder Ashlyn wanted to divorce him.
Gordon didn’t budge.
Puzzled, Aiken called him again.
“Gordon?” He then turned to look at Gordon curiously and found that his friend’s face was pale as a ghost, his forehead covered in sweat.
Aiken was shocked.
“Gordon, what’s wrong? Are you okay?” Gordon gritted his teeth and managed to squeeze out a few words.
“My stomach hurts.”
“Then I’m taking you to the hospital right now.”
Gordon wanted to say no, but his stomach was in so much pain that he nearly threw up on the spot.
Aiken immediately slammed his foot on the gas and sped to the nearest hospital.
When Aiken took Gordon to the hospital, the doctor determined that Gordon had acute gastroenteritis and needed an intravenous transfusion.
After settling the bill, Aiken went back to the ward, only to find Gordon lying in bed with his eyes squeezed shut.He seemed unwilling to talk to anyone.
Aiken put the medicine on the bedside table and poured a glass of warm water for his friend.
“Come on, Gordon.You have to take your medicine.”
Hearing this, Gordon finally peeled his eyes open and looked at Aiken.He slowly sat up, took the glass of water and medicine from Aiken’s hand, and took the medicine.
Aiken looked at Gordon’s pale and expressionless face and snorted.He was about to say something, but his phone suddenly vibrated.He checked his phone and found that one of his friends had sent him a short video.
Gordon was on the video’s thumbnail.
No way! Aiken warily glanced at Gordon in the bed, muted his phone, and then tapped on the video.He didn’t know who had recorded it, but the footage was shaky.
The short clip was supposedly the latter half of the video.
Just a few seconds after the fight, Devin suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Then, Aiken saw Ashlyn running to Devin.
Because he had muted his phone, he couldn’t hear what the people in the video were saying, but judging from the security guards and medical staff that suddenly showed up, Aiken guessed what had happened.
“Jesus! Is Devin that weak?’ Gordon’s eyes popped open again and stared at Aiken coldly.
Aiken couldn’t help but ask, “Gordon, did you knock Devin out?”
“What the hell are you watching?”
Frowning, Gordon reached out to grab Aiken’s phone from his hands.
As soon as his eyes landed on the screen, the video showed the part where Ashlyn slapped him.
Gordon’s expression darkened.He deleted it immediately.
Aiken shrugged.
“It’s useless.The video was posted on Twitter.”
After a slight pause, Gordon checked Aiken’s Twitter.
A lot of users had reposted that video.
Gordon wanted to throw the phone at the wall.
Seeing what was on his mind, Aiken quickly took his phone back.
“Don’t break my phone!” Gordon sneered.
“Why would I throw my phone?”
“So you were going to throw my phone on purpose?” Aiken asked in disbelief.
Gordon didn’t say anything, but his answer was obvious.
Aiken pursed his lips unhappily.
Jesus Christ! He shouldn’t have sent Gordon to the hospital.He should’ve just let the bastard die in pain! Gordon was so cruel to him anyway.
Why should he be kind if he was only met with coldness? Aiken hid his phone and sighed heavily.
“Seriously, did you knock Devin out?”
Gordon’s dark eyes shifted to stare into Aiken’s soul.
“You want me to knock you out?”
“Come on! You were at Stevie’s birthday party! What the hell were you thinking? How could you get into a fight there?”
Did he want to offend the Ramos family on purpose?
“You think I’m an idiot?” Gordon asked through gritted teeth.
Devin only pretended to pass out.
Aiken immediately understood what Gordon meant.
“He played the pity card.”
Aiken clicked his tongue in admiration.
“Devin’s a smooth guy.But why’d you hit him in the face in the first place?”
Gordon was just telling everyone how hard he had hit Devin.
Aiken’s words were like a knife stabbing Gordon’s heart.
But Aiken gave him another blow.
“You had a fight with Devin, but how come you don’t have any bruises on your face?”
As soon as Aiken finished speaking, a thought suddenly occurred to him.
“Devin hit you in the gut.I saw it in the video.You hit him in plain sight, while he hit you in a spot people can’t see.How ironic!”
Gordon’s expression clouded over.
“Is it so difficult for you to stay quiet?”
“Hey, don’t get angry at me! I’m not the one who hit you.Devin’s such a scheming bastard.He hurt you secretly, but Ashlyn felt sorry for him, not you.”
Aiken then looked at his friend pitifully.
“You humiliated yourself and helped Devin get closer to Ashlyn.Do you really hate Ashlyn, Gordon?”
