Chapter 168 - What Are You Guys Doing Here? (1/2)

Peeking into the room through the small gap of the door, Alexander could only hear movements coming from inside the room. From the dirty, blurry mirror's reflection from the left side of the room, his eyes squinted at the shadow figures coming down from the ceiling.

At first, he thought he was seeing things and rubbed his eyes to get a better view. Then, he thought those were the shadows of haunted spirits coming to kill the old man. On second thought, it was more than likely impossible, so he brushed off that idea.

With his ears moving slightly from noise sensitivity, he immediately recognized the voices. Though they were whispering, he could still distinguish their voices. Using his fingerprint, he removed the tracking alarm from the door and opened it.

Covering his mouth from the disgusting flesh rotting scent, he closed the door from behind. He could see legs dangling from the ceiling and trying to find a way to the floor without causing a huge sound.

Chen Nan: ”The floor looked much closer when we looked down than when I'm actually hanging here.” He swung his legs in all directions to see if he could step onto something steady.

Ariana whispered, ”See? I told you we should have gone the other way.”

Chen Nan replied, ”But you're pregnant. I can't let you crawl through small spaces like that.”

Ariana almost pinched his hand for being so cautious over crawling for five minutes. She said, ”And climbing down from the ceiling won't be harmful to our child?”

”At least I can be the scapegoat and jump down first. Then, I can catch you from below.” He said as he continued paddling his legs as if he was swimming in air.

Alexander facepalmed at this couple's stubbornness as he hugged the floating legs. ”Let go. I'll catch you.”

Chen Nan was speechless when he heard his voice. ”...Alexander? When did you get here?”

Alexander smirked, ”When you were paddling in midair and talking about the best way to come in. Hurry and get down. Someone could come in anytime.”

Ariana slowly let Chen Nan's hand go and watched him slowly reach the floor with Alexander's help. ”Okay, one down. One more to go. Don't worry, we'll catch you. Come down slowly.”

Spreading their arms and stretching upwards, they waited until they got a hold of her legs. Under their careful instructions, she slowly got down and safely landed. Patting her chest in relief, she said, ”Why did you leave the hospital?”

Alexander crossed his arms, ”Since you guys are intruding in my territory, shouldn't I be asking why you two are here again? Didn't I already warn you for your lives?”

Ariana placed her hands on her hips, ”Who said the intruders can't ask first? Besides, it's you who left us hanging first. Even if it is our wrong for sneaking in, you aren't guilt-free either. So? I asked first. Answer me.”

Facing such a headstrong Ariana, Alexander gave in at the end and raised his arms. With his palms facing the couple, he said, ”I had to come back. It was an order. You guys need to leave. I'll bring you guys out before anyone finds out.”
