Chapter 685 - Aftermath (1/2)

It was morning when Kanae woke up. She opened her eyes blearily. Because she was staying near Kevin all the time yesterday, she felt safe. As long as she didn't sense danger around her, she wouldn't wake up from her deep slumber.

Sitting on the bed, Kanae yawned. She looked around before her gaze was locked on the man who sat on the couch with his head on the table before him. Numerous pieces of paper were placed in front of him, telling her that he has been working hard through the night.

'Ouch,' Kanae tried to move when she found that her back hurt. She recalled that she has been thrown and crashed on the back numerous times, so it should be expected that her back was hurt.

'After Black Street, hospital has become my second home,' Kanae sighed internally.

She stood up and walked over to the man slowly, making sure that she didn't hurt herself and waking up the man. Looking at the paper, she knew that it was the same paper that they have been working on for the past few months. The content was all about the matter of territory and how Kevin wanted the government to take over leading the front.

Kevin had some connections with the officials. Even though they were only small officials, they were all very capable, so he made sure to make the people know the officials in their areas. This way, the influence from Ryukalin Clan would be erased little by little.

It had never crossed her mind that he wanted to change the city entirely before, but she supported him nonetheless.

”You have worked hard.”

Kanae pulled her blanket from the bed and put it on top of Kevin, covering his body. It was still early in the morning and the weather was quite bad. The temperature would drop a few more degrees before midday, so it might feel cold for him too.

Walking to the bathroom, Kanae looked at her appearance and sighed. There were bandages in many parts of her body that stayed visible. From neck, hand, to legs, they were all covered in bandages to some degree. Even her cheek has a band-aid plastered.

'My appearance is truly a mess.'

Trying to not pay any heed, Kanae brushed her teeth and combed her hair. After she was satisfied, she walked out of the room. She nearly bumped with the nurse who was passing through the front of the door.

”Ah, I'm sorry!” the nurse quickly apologized.

Kanae smiled. ”It's fine, it's my fault.” She knew that there was a nurse here, but she couldn't control her feet and nearly fell to the door. Thankfully, she managed to stop in time before bumping into the nurse.

”Can you walk by yourself? Should I bring you some crutches?”

”I can walk. Do you know the room for Patrick Kalin and Dean Yam?”

”It's there,” the nurse pointed to the room at the end of the hallway.

Kanae thanked the nurse before walking towards the room. She knocked and opened the door only to see the two of them playing cards while sitting on the chair.

Kanae: ”…” are you two really patients?

”Oh, Kanae, you're up pretty early,” Patrick waved his hand. ”Do you want to join in?”

”No thanks,” Kanae replied. ”Don't you need to rest?”

”Rest is only for the weak! I'm a master of the street, so I don't need it,” Dean humped.

”You're the master? Hah, I'll defeat you!”
