“Do not take their behavior to heart Ric.” A mocking voice advised him from behind and he turned, ready to transfer all the rage and anger in his body for Mr Wilde to a physical opponent, he was met with Mason's grin instead, and at this point he clenched his hands, to think that the nobody was making fun of him, him!
“What the hell do you want? I know you are wretched but are you also incapable of reading the atmosphere?” Ric gritted out, his anger steadily mounting at the smug look on Mason's face.

He could not hear it, and the more he paced with his face scrunched up in worry, the more worried his friends became.“I think we should try a different hospital.” Mark finally voiced out from where he sat with his head in his hands, and Mason's eyes immediately snapped to him in concern.“Why?
