101 The Feisty Patien (1/2)

After everyone left the hospital room, only he and Zunnie remained. She had slept for a few hours during the day and the paleness which once lingered was gradually disappearing. Her CT scan that had been scheduled was moved back considering she was too weak.

Alex laid down beside her and stayed silent as he looked up at the white hospital ceiling. His heart was pounding so loud he wondered if she could hear it. He wanted to speak to her but for some reason, the silence felt really good. Too bad it was short lived because Zunnie spoke.

”Darling are you alright? She asked him gently.

”Mhm…” He replied then turned his head to look at her. Her piercing deep blue eyes were gazing right at into his. The moment his eyes met here Alex's heart skipped a beat. The worry he saw in them sent a wave of warmness through his body.

'She was the one who was in a coma for three months yet still she's worried about me. She's the one with her head covered in bandages laying in a hospital bed, and she is asking me if I'm alright.' Alex couldn't help wondering.

He forcefully tore his eyes away from hers, as his heart began to ache. He couldn't protect her but even though she was badly hurt and may be scarred for life, she was worried about him.

Alex clenched his fist to fight the emotions welling up inside him. He wanted nothing more but to hold her and make love to her tenderly. He had missed her terribly these past few months and hearing her ask him that almost brought tears to his eyes.

”Are you sure? Because you didn't eat much today. And you've lost weight. Will you be able to carry me princess style when I'm better?” She scolded him.

Alex chuckled then pinched her nose, entertained by her.

”Is that what you're worried about? I'll fatten up now that I know you're here to scold me and feed me. You're thinking too much honey.” He joked whilst touching her temples.

”I'm glad that you're laughing. All day your mind has been elsewhere. I'm awake now, so you don't have to keep stressing. I can only imagine how hard it was for you and everyone but please be happy. Nothing was your fault.”

Even at her weakest, she knew exactly what he was thinking. As he listened to Zunnie trying to comfort him, he thoughts drifted off the what he the guys had spoken about previously.

”Honey, quickly get better so I can take you home. I've spent three months in the hospital I'm beginning to think I'm a doctor.”

”Ah Dr. Zi, I'm not feeling too well. My body is warm all over and my heart is beating really fast.” She seductively looked up at him.

”Hm, then let me...” He bent his head and kissed her passionately.

He pulled his lips away from her mouth seeing she had no intentions of stopping.

”Honey, what are you doing? You need to get better first. Should I give you a cold shower to help you?”
