37 Another Attack (1/2)
Out in the hospital hallway, she found a quiet aisle alleyway that led to the emergency stairs and made her call.
On the other line of the phone, a man picked up cheerfully. ”Oh Su Na! How's your trip?”
Su Na didn't know how to break the news to him. She gathered courage and spoke, ”Hmm... good... uncle.”
It took a few seconds for him to know something was off from her tone. ”What's wrong?” He was quick enough to ask.
”I'm at the hospital.”
”Why? Are you okay?”
Su Na took a deep breath and continued, ”Yu Sha had another attack.”
The man on the other line asked with a slightly serious tone, ”How is she?”
”I haven't seen any of her episodes being this serious before. She's never passed out, but no worries, she's in the hospital and is getting treated.”
”How did it happen?”
”We were in the theater, watching a play and suddenly she fell onto the ground. By then, she was already fading out. She didn't have her inhaler with her.”
”Was she acting strangely prior to that?”
Su Na was baffled. She thought Yu Sha was always weird and strange. How was she supposed to answer that question? A few things flashed through her mind until that night when she saw Yu Sha on the balcony. She hesitated but decided to tell the truth and replied, ”Uncle, I don't know. I might have been crazy and was just seeing things, but the other night, I saw...” Su Na took another deep breath and prepared her heart, ”I saw Yu Sha glowing and floating on the top of the balcony.” She cringed and continued, ”I know, I know. I must be crazy. Forget it...”
The uncle chuckled on the other line. ”I'll fly over this afternoon in a couple of hours.”
”No no... You don't need to. Keo and Leo are here and we will make sure she comes home safe. I just wanted to let you know.”
”Oh... Keo and Leo are there? Then I'm sorry, I will leave her in your care.”
Around the corner, Keo was eavesdropping and heard the entire conversation. Though his aura remained unchanged, his eyes and face showed a complex look. What and who was the girl he had secretly been admiring?
”Thanks, Su Na. Sorry for the trouble she has caused you.”
”No, no problem at all. I just hope she gets well soon.”
