113 The Fallen Angel Awakens (2/2)

”Yeo Ri-ah, do you want to see the scenery? It's really beautiful.” Nevertheless, he still kept trying. He forced himself to put on a brave front and continued to fool himself into thinking that everything will be alright.

Gun did not wait for her reply and directly pulled the curtains to the side, revealing a glass panel that overlooked the view of the hospital's park and parts of the town beyond.

The sky was slightly darkened due to the weather, so it was not too bright for her rather unused eyes.

Yeo Ri continued to stare, as if she was unaware of the beautiful scenery. Her gaze was somewhat glazed and empty; the scenery was clearly not entering her sight.

Gun pushed down the stuffy feeling in his heart and continued to attend to her.

”Do you want something to eat?” He asked.

Yeo Ri shook her head again.

”What about something to drink?” He persisted.

Yeo Ri was about to shake her head, but then paused. Her throat was feeling dry, so perhaps a drink would be nice. Slowly, she nodded.

Gun, receiving her assent, brightened up.

”What do you want? There's water, and juice in the fridge, but if you want something else, Oppa will go buy it for you.”

”Water,” Yeo Ri simply replied.

”Okay,” Gun jumped, gleefully pouring her a cup of warm water, ”here.”

Yeo Ri accepted the cup with both hands, then took small, continuous sips until she emptied the whole cup. The warm water helped reduce the scratchy feeling in her throat, making her feel more comfortable. Soon enough, her eyelids began to droop.

”Yeo Ri-ah, go to sleep first. Oppa will go and talk to the doctor for a bit, okay?” Gun smiled genuinely at her. He reached out to stroke her head, but gave up on the idea. He didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable.

He flashed another smile at her, then exited the room, leaving her all by herself.
