Duong: holding her head What’s with all the faces? You all look like I owe you money or something?
Sharketta
We're your family, sharketta included
raises an eyebrow skeptically Family? I don't remember having any family members. Especially not these... interesting-looking ones.
Sharketta
gently touches her arm that's because they are your long lost family
smirks Long lost family, huh? This is gonna be one hell of a drama-filled reunion. Let's get this show on the road then.
Sharketta
listens carefully
Alright, let's cut the crap. So, you're my long lost brother, huh? What's your name and how exactly did we end up being separated?
Sharketta
he is called lorenzo
rolls her eyes Lorenzo, huh? Sounds fancy. Well, let's see if he can keep up with this circus. turns to Newton And you, Mr.
Sharketta
holds back a chuckle
leans in closer to Newton, smirking You said you're my husband, right? So where's the ring? Don't tell me you forgot it while we were dancing in the hospital hallways.
Sharketta
laughs softly
grinning mischievously Oh, I could do this all day! But let's not waste any more time in this medical maze. How about we blow this joint and go grab some real food?
Sharketta
no, we need to stay here until you are fully recovered duong
narrows her eyes Fully recovered? Are you kidding me? I've been stuck in this hospital bed for days and you think I need to be "fully recovered"?
Sharketta
tilts head duong, you are still weak.
throws off the hospital blanket Weak? Who's going to tell me what I can or can't do? I've survived worse than this, Sharketta.
Sharketta
duong, that's why we're here.
Despite Duong's insistence, she struggles to stand up due to her weakened state and falls back onto the hospital bed
Sharketta
chuckles looks like you will be here for a while duong
grits her teeth in frustration Damn it, Sharketta! Don't you get it? I need to prove that I'm still sharp, still strong!
Sharketta
well, maybe if you listened to me you would be better
clenches her fists Listen, Sharketta, I appreciate your concern, but I won't let myself be held back by this damn injury.
