Bab 3: Browny
"He's lucky that he was rushed here on time. Don't worry, Miss Zhou. Your boyfriend will be fine in a few days. Aside from the stab from the side of his abdomen, all others were minor injuries." The attending doctor said as he placed his hand on Zoey's shoulder, comforting her trembling shoulders.
"Thank you," Offering a meek smile, Zoey slightly bowed her head before she sent the doctor off.
As soon as the doctor left, Zoey slowly closed the door behind her, then tiptoed her way close to the bed where the man lay. After that slow-motion moment, Zoey had to slap herself by sandwiching her cheeks between her palms.
"Tch," She clicked her tongue as she examined the man's peaceful yet majestic profile. "What did I get myself into?" Zoey heavily sighed.
She planned to rush him to the nearest hospital and then leave. However, her soft spot for the weak and needy tugged her heart. Hence, she wanted to make sure that he would get treated; despite that, he scared her earlier.
He has no identification with him, nor he had his wallet or phone. By the looks of it, he was robbed and got stab when he put up a fight. Regardless, that doesn't mean Zoey had forgotten that he literally intruded her car, and nearly traumatized her. She was just waiting for him to wake up so she could sleep at night, guilt-free.
"Still, you don't look that bad..." After some time while peering at him, Zoey never got tired looking at him. In contrast, he looked more and more dashing the longer she stared at him, to the extent that it was annoying.
"Zoey, calm your tits down." Mumbling, Zoey profusely shook her head sideways and shrugged whatever weird thoughts she has in mind.
As Zoey decided to rest a little and freshen herself up, she headed to the bathroom. All the alcohol she had drunk tonight has left her system due to that man; tonight's incident completely sobered her drunken heart, indeed.
"Should I consider it a good thing that Cora didn't tag along or I'd be tending to two patients. *sigh*" Relieved that her dear friend was afraid to her venture tonight, Zoey opened the bathroom's door with a sigh.
Glancing up, Zoey had a glimpsed of herself which made her looked at her reflection the second time. There, standing before her was a bloodied lady.
Her dress was covered with dried blood, even her exposed skin was smeared with dark red liquid. But, the most shocking for her to see was her face; around her lips, she was bearded with dried blood!
That instant, Zoey recalled how the doctor and some nurses gave her an odd gaze. First, she thought they were caught up to her beauty but now, she realized that she looked ridiculous at any angle.
She was too worried about her life and was panicking for the man's life that she forgot that he was bleeding. So naturally, when he covered her mouth earlier, it was obvious that it would taint hers.
"Aish!!" Zoey was embarrassed to the fact that she paraded in this hospital looking like the after-look of a cannibal. All she wanted to do was dig herself a hole and never resurface again.
"This mister!" Zoey hurriedly washed the blood off of her as she ground her teeth. "You'd pay me with interest!" She added and vented her frustration to the innocent rushing water.

The next day...
"Hey Z, I never thought you'd really find your love interest in the funeral parlor." Cora Ma examined the unconscious man and was in awe.
She was amused that her friend finally rested from searching for her soulmate. Not just that, he's a total catch! Actually, good-looking was an understatement. His looks defied heavens and earth's standards! He might be God himself, if Cora may add.
Although Zoey has no standards to follow, she was still considered as a sucker for good-looking men. She mostly took interest with handsome guys, then reject them later when there's no more challenge to overcome.
"He's not dead and you didn't kidnap him before he was embalmed, right?" Afraid to touch him, Cora Ma humored just to tease her friend.
Although it was impossible, well, she was talking about Zoey, and her friend could go extra lengths if she set her mind to it.
"If I remember correctly, I said maybe, Mr. Right is probably an embalmer, not a corpse." Rolling her eyes, Zoey waved her hair after arranging it in a ponytail.
She asked her friend to bring her comfortable clothes to wear since she was waiting for the man to wake up. Moreover, she has nothing to do because she was on leave.
Thus, Zoey was more or less doing this good samaritan deed for herself. She would feel restless anyway knowing that this man wasn't well yet.
Also, she has some questions and she already had a sum of the damages this man had caused her. She'd at least let him know that he owed her, right?
What a devil.
"Also, he's not my type." Glancing at the man, Zoey raised her brows and whistled.
"Not your type?" Cora Ma snorted. Even a child could tell that Zoey was lying without showing a bit of shame.
"Uh-huh," Ignoring Cora Ma's suspicious eyes, Zoey thrust her chin forward and crossed her arms under her breast while looking at the man. "Because I'm his type." She proudly declared that was followed by an evil laugh.
"I should've seen this coming." Cora Ma helplessly mumbled as the corner of her eye twitched. Truly, none could defeat Zoey to her shamelessness.
"Oh!" Just then, Zoey flinched yet, Cora Ma thought she was just acting again. "Did you see that? He moved?" Zoey altered her gaze from the man then to Cora Ma across the bed.
"He moved?" Knitting her brows, Cora Ma's gaze followed Zoey's and saw that he wasn't. "No, he—" Just before her words could slip from her mouth, Cora Ma noticed that the man's lid was trembling to open.
"Oh!" Surprised that he was already waking up, Zoey took a step forward as she watched his eyes slowly open before it unhurriedly blinked to adjust his eyes to the light.
"Sis, call the doctor..." As Zoey watched him regain his consciousness, she muttered which snapped Cora Ma from her trance.
Just as Cora Ma was leaving the room, she heard her friend's remarks which made her cringe and momentarily halted her tracks, while her face distorted to another degree.
Zoey: "Browny, are you awake?"
"BROWNY?!"
