"Want to scream?" Ian asked.

Victor shook his head, his attention fixated on the window. He was trying to keep his anger at bay since it wasn't like him to blow up like he did. 

"It might make you feel better. It's concerning to me how you are shifting in your seat. I will give you one chance to scream now. Don't do it without warning to startle the driver. Though, I wonder how Scarlet would be if she heard about me being in a crash," Ian said, wanting to try it.

Victor couldn't think of his troubles for a moment since he got the feeling that Ian wanted to get them hurt just so he could be treated by Scarlet. "Love does turn people into fools. I'm already sick enough, Ian. Don't hurt me."

"Then, you should get out. I want to see how she would be if I were hurt. Would she bring in a doctor or tend to me herself?" Ian wondered. 

Ian could see Scarlet slapping him if he didn't want to drink medicine. She wasn't the person to have time for foolishness.
