Jocelynn hurried to the bed to check on him. “Timo, why are you injured so badly? Who did this to you?”
Timothy was reluctant to talk about it. He just said, “It’s nothing serious. I ran into some hooligans. I’ll be fine in a few days.”
“Your face is swollen. Your eyes can hardly open. It breaks my heart to see you like this,” Jocelynn wept, feigning sadness.
