Chapter 359 - I dont know who saved who (1/2)

Nicolae woke up with a body that felt so fresh that he himself was astonished. When he opened his eyes, he immediately remembered that he had fought with two mysterious young men whom he thought were kidnappers, even though they apparently were acquainted to Aleksis. He was shot and he remembered bleeding quite a lot.

”Hey, are you awake?”

He immediately turned toward the sound and found Aleksis sitting on the window sill watching him. The girl looked very beautiful as she was bathed in sunlight that infiltrated through the curtains. For a moment Nicolae was speechless.

Aleksis finally had to wave to him.

”Er ... where am I?” Nicolae asked, holding his shoulder which was wrapped in bandages. He noticed that he was wearing clean clothes that were the right size for him.

”You're at my place ...” said Aleksis. ”Do you still feel pain?”

Nicolae shook his head. He examined his body and was satisfied with the results of the treatment he received.

”Thank you for saving me ...” he said, smiling broadly. He didn't look like a gunshot victim at all. His attitude was still too carefree.

”I don't know who saved who,” sighed Aleksis, ”You thought you were saving me from the kidnappers, and my bodyguards thought they were saving me from you ... and now you said that I saved you ...”

”Yes, it's very funny,” Nicolae said with a chuckle. He tried to get up but was immediately prevented by Aleksis, who approached him and sat on the edge of his bed.

”The doctor said, if the bullet had hit you a little lower, the bullet would hit your heart and you would have died instantly .. You're very lucky,” said Aleksis while holding Nicolae's chest because he was about to get up. ”Now don't take any risks before you are completely recovered.”

The man looked at Aleksis and his mind immediately turned mischievous. He pretended to moan in pain when Aleksis' hand touched his chest.

”Oww .. ouch ... that hurts so much. You touched my wound ...” he complained with a painful voice.

Indeed, Aleksis' hand had touched the bandage that wrapped his wound, but not the wound itself.

After all, even if Aleksis had really touched his wound, Nicolae would not have felt enough pain to cry like that. His body was physically very strong. Aleksis confirmed the fact by complaining several times that his body was as hard as a brick wall. This injury was nothing to Nicolae.

But right now he felt that it was better to make use of his condition to get the attention of this beautiful girl, who had made him curious since last week.

”Jeez ... I'm sorry ... where does it hurt?” Aleksis asked quickly. She rubbed the part she had touched with a guilty face.

”Hmm ... that's it, right there. If you rub it like that it feels better ...” Nicolae said with a smile.

Aleksis narrowed her eyes and looked at Nicolae suspiciously. She did not know for sure whether this young man was in pain or just pretending. Nicolae then coughed a little, trying to distract her.

”Uhm ... I'm thirsty. Is there some water here?” he asked her.

Aleksis nodded. She got up from the bed and left the room. The girl returned five minutes later with a glass of water; she was accompanied by a young man and that surprised Nicolae.
