Are you okay now?

She did not hear but she' s sure that is what he, the driver who accidentally run over her, asked with the mere reading in the movement of his lips.

She  is lying now on the back seat.

I need to bring you to the hospital.

He said again, now a little sound coming from it, or better yet to say, her ear comprehending now.

She do no feel any pain, just dizziness but she heard body pains will usually felt after eight hours or so. But they have to make it quick because she needs to be early tomorrow!

After the doctor checked her up, some tests and x-rays on the upper and lower body, she was discharged.

He offered his card for her to call in case of anything.

No, that is not necessary. You've already paid for the bill now.

Then she had that head-to-foot-foot-to-head look which obviously telling him: you're just a student, what else can you do?

I'm eighteen now.

He said without any word hearing from her.

She looked at him closely. Then smiled.

Looking so defensive, huh. But actually, Mr. Eighteen-now as you say, what I need is somebody to take me home.  If in any case it may give any disturbance, you cannot say no because you still have obligation to me.

There's a flicker in his eyes short seen you won't notice if you are not looking, but she saw it. Just how she observes weighing if good or bad this foreign boy is.

Then as quickly as he can, he hopped in and they travel back home.
