The Female Leads Truly Loves You

Chapter 391 391: Humans aren't inherently great

As consciousness gradually returned to his body, Sam didn't feel the fresh air but rather the distinct and familiar smell of disinfectant from the hospital.

This smell was quite strong.

It quickly reminded him of where he was and what state he should be in.

This was the stall in the hospital restroom... and fuck, it was the women's restroom!

Sam then felt the pressure on his body.

He quickly realized that Mia, having no other place to sit in the cramped stall, was sitting on him.

So the softness he felt was Mia's sexy body, leaning against his chest, with the elastic sensation on his legs clearly indicating her well-shaped figure.

The feel of her pants was also unique, allowing Sam to distinctly sense her perfect hips through the fabric.

She leaned against Sam's chest, her head resting on his neck, and with each breath, he felt a slight dampness on his neck.

The atmosphere was quite intimate.

This made Sam, who had just woken up, instinctively react. After all, he was a young man full of vigor and a man with exceptional sexual prowess.

But out of politeness and to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings when she woke up, Sam decided to get up first and break the intimate contact.

However, just as Sam was about to move, he felt a stir on his body.

"Mmm..."

Mia let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes.

She looked a bit confused as she saw Sam in front of her. She propped herself up slightly, sensing something was off, and her eyes began to

"Aren't you afraid I might have tricked you?"

Sam looked at Mia, annoyed.

"If you tricked me at a time like this, I'd be heartbroken."

They walked out of the hospital together.

Now, Mia couldn't go back to the ward to check if Charlotte had shown any signs of recovery, as visiting hours were over. Going back might cause unnecessary trouble.

All they could do was wait patiently. After all, they had done everything they could. Now, it was up to fate.

"Anyway... thank you for today."

They walked along the quiet street outside the hospital.

Mia seemed much calmer, not as playful and lively as usual, more mature and composed.

Sam looked at the fallen leaves and the hurried people.

"You don't need to thank me. I promised you."

"Do you always keep your promises? Is that your principle?"

Mia looked at this extraordinarily handsome boy, who always seemed to bring a fresh and stunning feeling with every glance.

In the slightly dim light, he possessed an indescribable beauty.

Sam shook his head.

"I'm not that rigid. If I make a promise but find it impossible to keep, I'll say so upfront and not act foolishly."

"Being so rational ruins the mood." Mia wrinkled her nose.

Sam laughed.

"What mood?"

Mia couldn't find the words, blushing in the cold wind.

"Nothing... just the mood of sincerely thanking you."

She found a reason that didn't seem like a reason.

"I told you, no need to thank me."

"You don't need it, but I do. I can't take your help for granted, right? After all... it wasn't an easy task."

Mia said.

Sam nodded slightly.

"Boss Mia."

"Hmm?"

"You seem to have grown up suddenly."

Hearing this, Mia paused, then raised her arm and elbowed Sam.

"How dare you talk to me like that?!"

"Hahaha... just a thought. Haven't you noticed you've become much calmer and more composed?"

Mia huffed.

"Thanks to your constant warnings? It's hard to be impulsive and irrational with you around, like being watched by a teacher..."

Mia knew why she had become more cautious and thoughtful.

It was because of Sam.

If it weren't for him, if it weren't for the previous incidents and his stern warnings, she might still be as reckless and careless.

She never thought that after all these years, she would be changed by this boy.

Sam smiled.

"It's not that serious. These things aren't big issues. You could always do it. You just didn't realize it before. When something important came up, you remembered. So, no need to thank me.

You could always be this person."

Mia's eyes sparkled slightly, her face turning away awkwardly. She changed the subject.

"Do you think... she'll wake up?"

Sam thought for a moment.

"Hard to say. It's been a long time, and it might take some time. But since she listened to you, at least she'll try. We've done everything we could, right?"

Mia looked up at the dim sky, which seemed dark even though it was still early.

She spoke softly.

"I think people are strange sometimes."

"Why?"

"Look, Charlotte hasn't woken up yet, but I feel so relieved, like my guilt is gone. Do you think atonement is a selfish act? Just to make ourselves feel better, not really about the other person."

Sam didn't stop walking.

He moved forward.

"Maybe the ultimate lesson for everyone is learning to face our imperfect and selfish selves honestly. It's normal. Humans aren't inherently great."

"You're talking like an old man again."

"Didn't you bring up this old topic first?"

"Hmph."

"By the way, do you remember what you promised me? Since I helped you with this..."

Sam was about to continue, but Mia interrupted.

She turned, looking directly at him.

"I know what you mean. This deal... you want me to go back home, to my family, right?"

Sam blinked.

"I don't want to push you that hard. Just talk to them. Whatever you decide is up to you. No pressure from me. Just follow your heart."

Mia sighed softly.

"What did she do to you?"

"Do to me? What do you mean?"

"I mean, what did she do to make you go to such lengths to get me to agree to this?"

Sam laughed.

"Nothing like that. It's just mutual help between people. I'm a very warm-hearted guy."

"Stop being gross... fine, I promise. I'll keep my word."

"Good."

It was time to part ways.

Mia's home and Sam's home were in different directions.

The farewell was easy.

Sam thought about the day's events, feeling like he had completed a not-so-long but not-so-easy side quest.

There was a sense of accomplishment.

Even without tangible rewards, Sam thought, if everything in life required a reward, it would be too dull.

Work needs rewards.

Studying needs rewards.

That's understandable.

But if helping and saving also required rewards, wouldn't that make us like machines?

Who knows.

All Sam knew was that as he prepared to head to Sophie's house to make dinner, he received a sudden call from Mia, whom he had parted with earlier in the day.

"Hey, Sam, I have good news! Charlotte's parents called me. The hospital said there's been a response from Charlotte. She might really be waking up!"

Holding the phone, Sam looked at the sky.

It was dark, with no stars.

But the streetlights illuminated him, making him feel warm.

See, doing meaningful things doesn't always need a reward, right?
