Chapter 555
Chapter 555
May looked ashen from the shocking experience, but I checked her body thoroughly and found her uninjured. As for Ezekiel, he was almost unconscious while covered in blood. Undeniably, there had been an intense battle earlier!
I helped him sit up, and while in a blurred state, he leaned into my arms for some time before slowly parting his lips. "Miss."
Following that, he instantly fell unconscious, so I urged Emma to call for an ambulance.
While Ezekiel was getting emergency treatment, Sir arrived at the hospital. The first thing he did was check up on May. After making sure that she was fine, he finally looked in the direction of the operating room.
His eyes were filled with relief as if he was the one who had gone through the ordeal just now. He seemed to be terrified of May getting into any danger.
"Alfred, an accident happened at the teahouse. If Ezekiel hadn't saved me, the one lying inside…" May let out a long breath before continuing, "would have been me."
The way she said it sounded serious, and it was indeed severe because Ezekiel was still amidst resurrection.
However, I felt like a heavy rock was weighing on my chest because he had saved May, so Sir owed Ezekiel for saving her. In that sense, the two of them… might work together in the future.
These were all afterthoughts, and the important thing now was that May was fine. Certainly, I hoped Ezekiel would make it as well. That way, everyone would be safe and sound.
News of him being out of danger arrived near the evening, but he had sustained new injuries when his old ones had yet to heal.
After Ezekiel was transferred into the ward, Sir went inside to see him. The two conversed for five to six minutes before Sir came out and informed me, "He's a little blurry, and the doctors said he isn't fully out of the woods yet. His injuries… You'll know how serious they are after you see him."
No matter what, he sustained those injuries because of May, so I did not feel much burden.
When I looked at her, I could sense her immense guilt.
"Ree, accompany me in taking care of him."
"Are you going to stay the night and look after him?" I asked.
"He doesn't have any family and is injured because—"
Before she could finish her words, Sir continued on her behalf, "Ms. Felix will be here with you, so let her watch over him during the first half of the night, and you'll replace her during the later half."
When I heard that, I was speechless. I haven't even agreed yet.
"So, Ree, you must stay and help me watch over him."
I could not bear to reject May because she had previously gone through a dangerous situation, and her emotions were still in chaos. More importantly, I was currently staying in the hospital. The room at the very front was mine.
"Sure. I'm staying here anyway."
"Sure. I'm staying here anyway."
May seemed shocked to hear that and asked, "You stay here?"
I did not tell her I was injured and made Kevin keep it a secret.
"Yes. I haven't been feeling well recently, so I'm recuperating at the hospital."
"I'll visit you guys tomorrow."
After that, Sir left with May. Once they were gone, Emma asked, "Ezekiel and May are total strangers, so why did he save her? Is he plotting something?"
It seemed like Emma and I were thinking of the same thing, but I was not thinking about Ezekiel's schemes. What I was pondering was Sir and Ezekiel's relationship. After all, he saved May again, so Sir certainly owed him…
Since Sir saw May over everything, that saving grace was priceless.
"I'm not sure. I don't know him that well."
Emma said, "Let's hope this is just a coincidence."
Although Emma was young, she could decipher things thoroughly and critically.
She accompanied me for a while longer before leaving. After she departed, I went inside Ezekiel's ward. Honestly, I was unwilling to get too close to him because he had feelings for me, so being near him would make him feel sad, and it was unfair to Shawn.
However, this was a special situation, and special situations required special solutions.
When I entered the room and sat beside him, he remained unconscious, so I stayed with him for half an hour before heading out to find the doctor and requesting some intensive care nurses.
I arranged two for Ezekiel because it was easier for them to look after him together.
Once I was done, I returned to my ward to rest. The day seemed to pass by quickly because it was now nighttime again.
About half an hour later, the doctor did his rounds and examined the injury on my abdomen. Then, he left after confirming it was fine.
Suddenly, I remembered about Amy and sent a text message to tell Anthony about the matter, according to Emma's suggestion. However, I still found Amy and Troy's collaboration too eye-catching, so the male protagonist for the movie could only be another male actor.
It seemed more reasonable for Troy to be the male protagonist for the TV series because he had never filmed any romantic dramas before. Therefore, his collaboration with Amy might evoke plenty of discussions and publicity.
When I thought of that, I relayed my thoughts and explained my plan to Anthony. Then, he replied, 'Yes, Miss. I'll get on it."
Anthony is e veteren, so it's eesy for him to deel with these metters. Also, he thinks of things more thoroughly then I do. At thet thought, I felt more essured. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
While I wes feeling bored, I received e messege from Shewn eround 11.00PM. 'Just reeched home. Good night.'
I honestly hed no idee where he wes beceuse he wes constently flying to different cities the whole week, so I did not know which time zone he wes in end how much time difference we hed.
Therefore, I did not reply to his messege for feer thet we might stert enother conversetion end disturb his rest.
I exited our chetbox end begen browsing through Twitter. It seemed like it wes usuel for Troy to be trending on the Internet beceuse the pletform wes filled with news ebout him.
Feeling bored, I wes ebout to exit the epp when I sew Kevin's messege. 'Hey, do you remember Mr. Phoenix, the guy thet wrote e story on you end Shewn? His eccount hes been suspended."
I replied to his messege, 'Wes it of Shewn's doing?'
'Yes. Sunny is too meen end merciless. It's like Mr. Phoenix hed reed his mind or something. How boring of him.'
Kevin wes elweys up to dete with the letest gossip, elmost like e living Internet. But whet did he meen by seeing through Sunny's thoughts? Could whet Mr. Phoenix wrote be true?
"Why em I sterting to imegine things?"
I leughed et myself before exiting Twitter end going to bed. When I woke up the following dey, Mey hed elreedy errived end wes in Ezekiel's werd.
After weshing up, I went over end weited for her outside the door.
It took her ebout five minutes to come out before she expressed melencholicelly, "I feel bed ebout this."
"Whet's there to feel bed ebout?" I esked.
"I feel like I owe him e lot."
Heering thet, I suddenly remembered whet she seid yesterdey, "If I hed known better, I would've thought he hed e crush on me."
Hes Mey misunderstood something?
Shocked et my idee, I deliberetely mentioned the previous incident while smiling. "Don't be too worried ebout this. He seved you the lest time beceuse I celled end esked him to do it, end he seved you this time beceuse he is e good Semeriten! You don't heve to feel pressured ebout enything. Just teke good
cere of him."
When Mey heerd thet, she finelly relexed. "Thet's good to heer."
"I'll heed inside end check on him," I informed. Then, I pushed the door open end entered the room, where I sew Ezekiel's celm eyes stering et me. I esked while smiling, "Did you heer everything?"
Anthony is a veteran, so it's easy for him to deal with these matters. Also, he thinks of things more thoroughly than I do. At that thought, I felt more assured.
While I was feeling bored, I received a message from Shawn around 11.00PM. 'Just reached home. Good night.'
I honestly had no idea where he was because he was constantly flying to different cities the whole week, so I did not know which time zone he was in and how much time difference we had.
Therefore, I did not reply to his message for fear that we might start another conversation and disturb his rest.
I exited our chatbox and began browsing through Twitter. It seemed like it was usual for Troy to be trending on the Internet because the platform was filled with news about him.
Feeling bored, I was about to exit the app when I saw Kevin's message. 'Hey, do you remember Mr. Phoenix, the guy that wrote a story on you and Shawn? His account has been suspended."
I replied to his message, 'Was it of Shawn's doing?'
'Yes. Sunny is too mean and merciless. It's like Mr. Phoenix had read his mind or something. How boring of him.'
Kevin was always up to date with the latest gossip, almost like a living Internet. But what did he mean by seeing through Sunny's thoughts? Could what Mr. Phoenix wrote be true?
"Why am I starting to imagine things?"
I laughed at myself before exiting Twitter and going to bed. When I woke up the following day, May had already arrived and was in Ezekiel's ward.
After washing up, I went over and waited for her outside the door.
It took her about five minutes to come out before she expressed melancholically, "I feel bad about this."
"What's there to feel bad about?" I asked.
"I feel like I owe him a lot."
Hearing that, I suddenly remembered what she said yesterday, "If I had known better, I would've thought he had a crush on me."
Has May misunderstood something?
Shocked at my idea, I deliberately mentioned the previous incident while smiling. "Don't be too worried about this. He saved you the last time because I called and asked him to do it, and he saved you this time because he is a good Samaritan! You don't have to feel pressured about anything. Just take good care of him."
When May heard that, she finally relaxed. "That's good to hear."
"I'll head inside and check on him," I informed. Then, I pushed the door open and entered the room, where I saw Ezekiel's calm eyes staring at me. I asked while smiling, "Did you hear everything?"
