432 Priority (1/2)
At Yang Globals Hospital
Shane helplessly looked at his brother on the bed.
”Stop that…” Kane complained. ”Instead of looking at me with full of pity, why don't you introduce me to the man beside you.” Kane added, trying to smile but cringed since his face was still swollen.
”I will kill that Long,” Shane murmured with gritted teeth. Kane shrugged his shoulders and said, ”Kill him inside your head, Shane. Don't do anything stupid. I'm still alive. He's just pissed off that you have gone against him and even married some other man. He wants to punish you but since he can't touch you I guess I become the punching bag.”
”Stop treating it as a joke, Kane! He had almost killed you!” Shane exclaimed. All her nerves were exploding because of outrage.
”Bro, congrats. I'm Kane, Shane's brother. It looks like she has no intention to introduce us both, so I'll do the honor myself. Too bad I can't shake hands yet, so we'll have to skip that formality.” Kane mumbled and Josh nodded with a smile.
”I'm Josh. Don't worry Kane me and my brother will settle everything properly. We will make sure everyone who played a part in doing this to you will pay at any cost.” Josh retorted, he too was infuriated with what happened to Shane's brother.
Kane was a bit surprised and gave her sister a meaningful and questionable look.
”Yes, he's aware. His brother is in the military and they are going to help me out.” Shane confidently murmured. Kane was in a safe zone now since it was Xander's territory and Kane's room was completely debugged and well guarded with tight security too.
”I will go back home with Josh. I will take care of our father and the rest of our brothers so you don't have to worry. Just make sure you get well soon. They will make sure you will get back in shape soon, Kane. So behave while you are here and Cali… Don't bother Cali.” Shane reminded Kane, and Kane was about to twitch his face but winced in pain again.
Shane was aware that Kane had a special feeling for Cali so she added, ”She's engaged now and she's deeply in love with doctor Rui.”
But then Shane cursed because she forgot she was with Josh, who also had that special feeling for Cali. She turned and looked at Josh with an awkward smile before defensively said, ”My brother likes Cali.”
Josh simply nodded at her. Shane wondered with his normal reaction though, if Josh still liked Cali…
”Oh Shane!!!” Cali burst when she went inside the room and saw Shane. She ran and immediately hugged her friend. Then she looked at Josh with narrowed eyes and threatened, ”You bully man! If my sister has any single complaint about you not treating her well… I will pester you all your life!”
Rui laughed from Cali's back and said, ”Sweetheart, that's not threatening enough.” He then looked at Shane and greeted the latter. Shane smiled and introduced Josh as her husband.
'So he's the one who Xander said likes Cali too.' Rui mused. He was amused seeing two love rivals in a small space.
Meanwhile, Shane gulped, seeing the men inside in one room. All those men happened to like Cali, but she was hoping Josh could not be counted at this time. Josh said he liked her, yet she did not know if that liking of him towards her weighed more than his liking for Cali.
Cali talked to Josh like she always used to, a man who was a bully. She was totally not aware that Josh liked her.
”Let's have lunch together,” Cali suggested, but Kane complained, ”How about me? I thought all of you are here to see and visit me!”
Shane laughed and said, ”Do you want us to eat here instead? Can't you see that we're couples here? We will be right back as soon as we finish lunch.”
Shane bet Kane would not want to be with her husband too if he found out that Josh liked Cali before.
