"...Looks like you're not dying anytsoon," she shot back, her tone edged with exasperation. "Still plenty of energy to run that mouth of yours."

Seeing her remain silent, the man turned and started walking again.
However, after only a few steps, he stumbled, his tall frnearly collapsing to the ground.
Suzy, forgetting her own injured leg, scrambled to her feet and rushed to his side, barely managing to catch him. "This is what you call 'nothing serious'?" It was obvious he was barely holding on, yet he stubbornly insisted he was fine.
The man's voice was faint, yet he managed a wry smile. "Maybe I skipped lunch... feeling a bit lightheaded." "Shut up already!" Suzy barked, her frustration plain.

Grabbing his wrist, she checked his pulse, her expression darkening as she felt the instability his om 1.e breathing. Ais injuries were clearly far worse than he let on.
