150 Will To Live 1 (2/2)

When the man disappeared from sight, Diaz who was beside her said in a low voice, ”Miss, shouldn't we notify his parents? Aura said, the night is coming, so they'll surely discover that he's missing.”

”It's you who said that something was off about his circumstances. His parents are normal people so it would be better to only notify them once he wakes up. Anyway, this mysterious guy will surely not want his powerless parents to get involved if he was really in something quite troublesome.”

Alessa labeled the young man mysterious due to how he predicted the bombing incident a few minutes after they parted yesterday. She was in contact with someone from the Jasper City Police Station, so she received a bit of information on how the interrogation had proceeded. This was how she discovered that this young man who she thought as a nobody was not really someone like that.

The bodyguard did not speak anymore. However, he was puzzled. His boss had suspicions about the youngster, so why continue involving herself with him? Hadn't she already fulfilled her obligation when she brought him in this hospital?

Sadly, he wouldn't be receiving any answer from the girl since she was leaving no room for discussion.

It was already close to nighttime. So when Alessa was reminded of the time, she decided to leave the hospital for a while. It was for dinner. She went out to dine in the nearest decent restaurant nearby, having no plans to torture herself with unpalatable hospital meals. Alessa might be a neglected misbegotten Miss of the Morgans, but it didn't mean that she would allow herself to even not have freedom when it comes to food.

...

”Where..am... I?”

It was around 2 pm in the afternoon, Sunday.

Alessa, who had taken a liking to the quietness of the hospital, had chosen to spend the afternoon there reading her scripts. Wearing a plain grey off-shoulder top and floral patterned long skirt, she sat near the bed with her eyes busily scanning the papers in hand. She was engrossed in studying a scenario when she heard that question. She subconsciously glanced up, surprised to see the young man laboriously turning his head to her direction. Her eyes widened and when she came back to her senses, a bit of glee showed on her face, glad that finally, this trouble woke up and did not end up like what most doctors here had predicted.

She stood up from her chair and put down the scripts in hand. Afterward, she hurriedly strode towards the side and pressed on the buzzer.

”You're in the hospital. Wait for a while, I just notified the nurses and doctors to come over.” Alessa promptly responded to his questions.

They didn't wait long for people in white coats and uniform to come in. Knowing that the doctor would have to do some check ups on him, Alessa stayed on the side and waited for the procedure to be finished. After some time, the doctor finally stopped asking questions and instructed Chris to do this and that. Once done with that, he turned around and faced her, saying with a slight smile,

”Miss Morgan, he is fine now. Fortunately, nothing happened to his brain. He's also not showing signs of amnesia. Of course, he would still have to be confined for quite a long while since his injuries are severe, but so far, it's good that we don't have to worry over loss of memories. By the way, he requested to be left alone with you. I saw no real problem with that. Just take note that he had just woken up and is still very weak. It's not advisable to talk for so long.”

Alessa nodded, then said, ”Thanks for all your effort, Doc. Please leave us for now. I promise it won't take long.”

A few seconds after that, only she and the weak young man lying on the bed were left. With a complicated expression on her face, she went back to her stool, placing the scripts on top of the bedside table. As for the gloomy-faced man, he stared at her for so long before opening his mouth and asking a question which she did not quite expect to be asked from the get-go.

”Who else... knows that I'm... here?”
