Chapter 31: Chapter 31 - Sleeping beauty
A slight beeping sound echoed in his ears. Kang moved his head, burrowing his head completely in the pillow, but the sound was insistent. 'Ugh stop that alarm clock! It must be Jake!'
"The vitals are stable, the surgery went flawlessly... but... don't you find it weird how soon he is recovering? It's just been two days." A young female voice said from near him.
Kang perked his ears up. 'who?'
'Surgery? What surgery?.... oh god, I'm in the hospital after that fire blast! Fuck... this is bad.... very bad.'
The voices were obviously doctors or nurses. His heart started to beat ever so slightly faster. If in case they discover his body's anomaly he could be easily kidnapped and experimented on.
'Am I healing faster because of my superpowers?'
"He is young and healthy. It's natural he is healing quickly... gosh, that man really rose up hell for us. I missed a lot of my scheduled surgeries for two days continuously." Another male voice grumbled.
"of course, he threw so much money at our directors. How rich can a person be..." the female whispered.
Zhu Kang calmed down a bit. 'Thank god....I'm good...' his whole body felt like thousand bricks weighing down and not moving. He did not have any intentions of getting up now either.
'Looks like his hospital bill will be super high. Let me sleep peacefully. And run by night,'
After checking his vitals and cleaning changing his blood bag, they left talking about what they were going to have for lunch.
Zhu Kang sighed loudly. 'finally alone at last....'
As he was taking his beauty sleep, he heard the door open once again. This time the sound of footsteps was obviously different. It was silent and soft rather than the squeaky shoes the doctors or nurses wore.
'who might this new entrance be? Is it my dear darling brother? I'm pretty sure he is going to sob like a baby. Let's scare him,'
Internally giggling, he laid there unmoving.
A hand gently caressed the bandages on his forehead and gently moved down to his cheeks.
The mysterious person sat down next to him holding his hands.
'okay... why isn't he falling for my trick. He most likely found out I'm pretending.... '
He slightly opened his eyes only to see a person's head lowered. his shiny blond hair slightly looked shiny by the ceiling light.
He instant closed his eyes.
'Altren? Is it him? Why is he here? Ah, that bastard must be guilty. Heck, he left me on a rooftop for goodness sake.'
"Kang.." a slightly throaty deep voice whispered, kissing his hands.
Kang was even more shocked. Because he really recognized this voice. It was none other than Aaron himself.
'Why is he here? How did he find me... ah this is so embarrassing.'
The last time he met this person was on a hotel bed, both of them moaning and groaning. Just thinking about that heated his cheeks up.
'Don't think about it.... don't even think about it. it was nothing but a happy accident.'
"Kang... what do I do? I tried to stay away... I tried... but even So, you got hurt. I can't bear to see you like this...."
A warm tear dripped onto his hand.
Zhu Kang stiffened up. 'Fuck, he is crying... should I wake up now? What will I say and comfort him? I have no words to say....'
"That day, destiny made us meet, but I fought against it. Not anymore. I won't let my destiny slip out of my hand without control. I want to hold you close to my heart and body."
'Whoa, whoa, whoa, just step back a minute. Say what now?' the beeping sound became slightly faster, matching his pounding heartbeat.
"I want to be with you when you laugh when you cry when you are sad.. I want to be with you Kang.. forever and after..."
It took a lot of his patience not to move. 'Okay, I need to wake up and shake this man like a shaker. What is he thinking? He barely knows me yet he is professing his undying love? Crazy man, completely crazy!'
Just as he was about to wake up the door opened with a creek.
"Sir, it's an honor to finally meet you. I'm Dr. Jauis, a senior director in this hospital. I hope the services you received was up to par,"
"....."
"The board members and the other doctors have assured me that your friend here is completely healthy. The surgery went successfully and he will recover without a hinge."
"..."
The only reply the doctor got was the deafening silence from mister rich CEO Aaron.
'Jeez reply man... he must obviously be sweating bucker right now.'
"it...it was a non-invasive surgery so there won't be any future repercussions. But caution has to be taken..."
"Why hasn't he woken up," Aaron said in the most threatening voice he has ever heard.
"That... the body needs rest to recover from the trauma. It's natural. B-but I assure you he is very very healthy. 100 %" the doctor stammered.
"Why hasn't he gotten up yet?!!"
Kang stiffened up even more, feeling the killing intent in those words. 'to prevent a murder.... I think I should at least wink at him.'
The chair scraped loudly. "I need him up and about in a day. I don't care what magic fingers you use or whatever you do. I want him up!"
"s-Sir.... that.. That is not how it works..."
"If he doesn't wake up I will fucking burn you and bury you alive. So will all the doctors and nurses in here. You got it? Your lives depend on his," The silent footsteps charged to the door and banged it close behind him.
Kang, who was about to wake up, stopped midway. 'nope! Nope, nope, nope, he sounds borderline psychotic. I don't want to see his wrath nor face his crazy feelings.'
He feared that he might end up saying the wrong things and become a burned stick.
'Talking back to Altren = fried Human KFC
Talking back to Aaron = Burned stick'
'Both the options sound very very dangerous.'
That man is scary as shit. Not only that he is a crazy uncle of that crazy Altren. They share the same crazy gene. I'm going to sleeping beauty from now on. Sorry doctor, you can sign your death certificate.'
