Trip to Love (Jackson's Story)
Chapters 2. Question

Jack looked at Louisa with questions. Is this girl a criminal? Jack examined the girl's face. The girl was pretty according to him.

Jack immediately contacted Mario. He asked the man to call a doctor to his apartment. Jack didn't tell me about Louisa. He just had Mario call a doctor who could sew the wound and Mario thought Jack was hurt, so he didn't ask much.

Jack put down his backpack. His face looked tired, but Jack couldn't just ignore the girl. Jack imagines if his sister Celine is in trouble, what? Jack finally chooses to take a basin of warm water to clean the girl's wound first.

Jack finds it difficult to clean Louisa's wounds. He had to take off the girl's shirt. Jack was surprised to see the many scars on the girl's body. Jack tilted Louisa's body to make it more free to clean it.

Jack took a small towel and wet it. Very carefully, Jack cleaned the wound of the girl named Louisa. As Jack washes Louisa's wounds, he is inexplicably curious as to what kind of life the girl is living.

Soon, the doorbell of his apartment sounded. Jack immediately saw who pressed the bell. Luckily the doctor brought by Mario is a female doctor.

"Are you Jack, Mario's friend?"

"Yes. Are you the doctor Mario sent?"

"Yes, I'm Mario's brother-in-law."

"Please come in" said Jack, letting the woman's doctor in.

"Are you sick?"

"No. Not me, but my friend."

"All right, I'll check it out."

"You can call me Jean."

"Alright, Jean. Did you bring a tool to stitch up the wound too?"

"of course. I came with preparations, Jack," said Jean. Jean approached Louisa. Jean frowned at the girl's wound.

"This injury will be exposed, Jack. A woman as beautiful as her why would she get hurt like this?" said Jean. He touched Louisa's sweaty forehead.

"He also has a fever. Maybe because this wound made him have a fever. Before sewing the wound, I'll inject it first so it doesn't get infected."

"Do it, but do you mind if you're alone? I need a shower, my body feels so sticky."

"Yes, I think you really need to shower and change. Don't let you wander around in a blood-soaked shirt like that."

As Jean was thinking about it, Jack was already standing in front of Jean. She frowned seeing Jean daydreaming.

"Are you done?" ask Jack. Jean was shocked.

"You done yet?"

"Yes, I have to finish quickly so you don't wait too long for me."

"Jack, can I ask you a question?" Jack looked at Jean for a moment, and he knew exactly what she wanted to ask him.

"You want to ask me, why is this girl's body full of wounds?" Jean nodded. That's what he wanted to ask Jack.

"I don't know either, Jean. I just got to San Francisco today at half 9. Then in the elevator this girl passed out and I helped her. That's it."

"Is he a criminal?" ask Jean.

"I don't know and I hope you'll keep this a secret from Mario."

"Alright, here I stay painkillers and pain relievers. When she wakes up, give her this medicine."

"Hmm, thankyou Jean."

"Yes, equally. I'll go home first."

"How should I pay you?" ask Jack.

"No need, Jack. Save money. I only came because my sister-in-law asked for it."

"You're so nice, Jean."

"You're too complimentary, Jack. All right, I'm sorry. Bye." Jean exits the apatement unit that Jack occupies.

Jack saw Louisa's arm bandaged. Jack finally waited for Louisa. Because he had to give Jean medicine to the girl.
