Lucas grabbed the glass bottle by its neck and rashly swung it at Aiden.
He had not expected that the entire glass bottle would break and not just the bottom half of it. As the bottle broke, Lucas got several cuts on his hand.
Thankfully Aiden reacted fast enough to protect Maya and his head from the bottle.
Lucas had used a lot of force while doing it, if it were a normal person's head, he or she might have just passed out.
Aiden had used his forearm in defense and since the bottle had broken into several pieces, it was inevitable that he did not hurt from it. A few of the glass shards were in his arm, and it was bleeding profusely.
Maya screamed with shock, this attracted the attention of Ryan, who was at the other side of the corridor, waiting for Alyssa to come out. He immediately came to the scene and was also shocked by what he saw.
Lucas was observing Maya's every action. Although he got blood on his hands, unexpectedly it was not Aiden's, but his own.
Even though he was hurt, and was bleeding more than Aiden, Maya didn't care about him… How was that possible? Earlier, even if he got a scrape on his hand, Maya would help him put a band-aid on it, and now?
He couldn't believe that things could change so much, within a few weeks. How could he fail again!?
Looking at his situation right now, and remembering the respect everyone was giving to Aiden a while back, Lucas knew that he couldn't fight with Aiden. He had to run away before he got caught.
Ryan came to Aiden and what he saw was, Lucas trying to flee after creating so many problems.
Instinctively, he tried to go after him and catch him before he ran away but Maya stopped him, "No, not right now. We have to take Aiden to the hospital. He is bleeding very badly."
"Maya it's not needed~" Aiden felt happy that Maya cared about him, all of his anxiety from the past few days vanished when he saw her like this. She really was not upset with him!
"Look at your hand! How can you smile right now!?" Then Maya looked at Ryan expecting him to add some sensible words to her sentence.
Until now, she did not know that Ryan was actually, in fact Aiden's personal assistant and good friend.
Ryan looked at Maya and then towards Aiden, he didn't want to offend his boss, but he also did not want to offend his future Madam! What could he do!?
"Ryan, you should go after him." Aiden simply said these words and Ryan turned to leave.
Then he looked at Maya, and said in a hushed voice, "Actually I don't trust him enough for letting him drive my car… Can you take me to the hospital?"
Was this 'hushed voice' meant to make it a secret!? Maya, who naively believed him, looked at Ryan's back and said, "He is standing here! What if he heard you?"
"No need to worry about that, his hearing is weak. He won't be able to."
Maya squinted her eyes, "How do you know that?"
"He works in my brother's company." Aiden looked at Maya as if he was very scared of him.
"Oh… Don't need to worry, even if I am not that good of a driver, I can at least make sure that you reach the hospital safely." As Maya said this, she emphasized the words 'I can' and looked towards Ryan....
It turned out that this guy might be Aiden's superior in the company, that explained why he was just standing when she asked him for help.
Ryan: "!!!" Excuse me people! I am standing right here!
And you guys can get a taxi or an ambulance! Anyways, Aiden you better not make a bad impression of me in front of miss Maya! She is still my girlfriend's boss!
Bit after his train of thoughts ended, he left in a serious mood. Since he knew that both Lily and miss Ashely were there for Alyssa, he could leave peacefully and catch the cause of this mess.
…
As Maya and Aiden headed towards his car, Maya took out a blue scarf from her purse.
The bleeding had stopped by a considerable amount, but due to what had happened earlier, his white shirt's entire sleeve had turned red.
She did not tie it on his arm, but just covered his sleeve, making sure that it was not too tight.
Aiden looked at her questioningly.
"Since we can not put pressure of your hand or cover it, we should reach the hospital as soon as possible to get you treated." Maya answered.
Aiden: "??" He understood some of it but not everything.
Maya very rarely explained herself, and today was no exception. She didn't feel the need to give Aiden the reasons for covering his shirt sleeve.
Maya carefully started the engine of the car. Her driving skills could be judged as 'okay'; not very good, but not bad as well.
The only problem was she was driving 'a bit' faster than her usual speed.
Aiden clutched onto the seatbelt with his left hand which was not hurt. This was too fast for his poor heart!
But when he looked at Maya and her determination while driving, he consoled himself, "So what if we accidentally get into a minor accident, we are heading to the hospital anyways."
As he shrugged his shoulders at this thought, Maya thought that he was still curious about her actions. So, she decided to explain herself, "You see, we can't apply pressure on your wound because the glass pieces might go deeper and create more problems for you. So the only option available is to reach the hospital as soon as possible and let the doctor treat it."
Aiden was not interested in her reasons first, but now he became curious, "Then what did you mean by covering my shirt sleeve?"
Maya stayed silent for half a minute, "The blood stain… I-I can't handle the sight of anything too red." She focused on driving and continued, "It might have distracted me from driving, so I covered it."
"Oh…" Aiden was unaware of this, after all he had seen her rule the ramp walks in flashy red clothes, red lipsticks, red wine… so many things started coming up to his mind, it felt weird as he thought about it. "So how do you manage during other times?" This question just slipped out of his mouth.
"I simply endure it." Maya said as if it was the easiest thing in the world.
Please VCR! (/^▽^)/

"I simply endure it."
These words just did not settle well with Aiden.
He wanted to ask more when he suddenly heard her say, "I am sorry for today." It was her who had called Aiden and asked him to be there. After coming here, it was also to protect her that he hurt himself badly.
She really hoped that Aiden had not gotten hurt at some major blood vessels or something. If he really did, it would create a very serious issue.
Looking at her train of thoughts going astray, Aiden shook his head and asked her, "What are you talking about?"
"Um-" Maya paused, "Sorry I should explain myself, I'm sorry because-"
"No Maya, I wanted you to stop thinking this. Of course I would protect you again, even after knowing that I would be hurt."
Then suddenly he chuckled, "Well if I had known this would happen, in the second chance I would not let this happen… Yeah, but still. I think you have forgotten, 'You'-" Aiden pointed at her with his index finger, "-Maya you are the girl I like. How can I not protect you… hmm?"
Maya refrained herself from looking at him, she acted as if she had not heard him say anything and continued driving.
If Aiden had not known her well, he might have felt weird getting this response after confessing to the girl he liked, but one could say that he knew her pretty well now, how could he not notice her cheeks turning red at the moment… "She definitely felt something!" Aiden cheered up in his mind.
"Wait, why is her nose turning red? Is she-" Before Aiden could have a better look at her face, Maya stopped the car and looked down. Her long hair which was tied in a ponytail covered her entire face.
He saw her bring her hand to her face and it seemed she wiped her face. "Wait Maya are you-" Aiden immediately tried bending forward but sucked a deep breath in pain.
*ka-chak!*
Maya unfastened her seatbelt and opened the car door, as she got out she said, "We have reached the hospital."
She quickly came to the other side and opened Aiden's door. Wide eyed Aiden looked at her bending towards him, his heart skipped a beat!
*ka-chak!*
Maya unfastened his seatbelt as well, and murmured, "You should not move much, look, just now how you hurt yourself."
Then she held Aiden as she helped him get out of the car.
Aiden: "!!!" He was very well capable and strong enough for doing these tasks himself but who would not like it!?
He simply let Maya 'carry' him inside the hospital. This was the first time he was practically sticking to her and half hugging Maya. He felt excited and was smiling,
Maya who could not see his face was frowning. If anyone were to see them right now, they would have thought that Maya was the one in pain and not the patient himself!
She took Aiden inside and he was taken to the emergency room. Since no one stopped her, Maya also followed them inside. Now that they were in a brighter light, his wound seemed more gruesome one.
There were a few shards of glass in his hand, out of them few were a bit large while several were very small, it looked a difficult sight to see.
After some procedures, the doctor looked at Maya, "We have removed those glass shards, and thankfully it wasn't a very major accident. Just a few more things and he can head home."
After that he took Aiden inside a room. Maya sat on the bench there looking listless.
Suddenly she jolted awake, should she inform his family? She should, right?
She remembered Aiden's father, Mr. Smith but she did not have his phone number… Then, she could only think of Liam next.
Maya immediately called Liam, "Hello, Liam?" Maya had heard a lot of things about him but from her sister, Sofia.
Both of them had not talked much so she felt a bit awkward at the moment. "Yes. This is Maya, right?" Liam also had similar awkwardness.
Maya then told him about the incident, "He fought while protecting me, and got hurt with a broken glass bottle…"
"What!?"
"Yeah, I have brought him to the hospital and the doctor has done a check up on him. Since he has not hurt his major nerves, after some stitches, he can head home. I didn't know whom to contact from his family so I called you."
"Which hospital are you in? I will come there now."
Maya gave him the name of the hospital. After keeping the phone she sadly smiled, ever since she had met Aiden, it seemed that both of them just revolved around cars and hospitals… She didn't know whether to smile or feel sad about it.
...
After filling the details and completing all the procedures required by the hospital, Maya came back to the place where Aiden was being treated.
She frowned, until now everything should have been done, right? What was taking them so long? Did something serious happen? Maya tensed up at the thought of this.
She suddenly remembered the sight of the nurse taking out the glass shards off Aiden's arm and trembled. His arm was swollen and had several cuts, remembering the bloody sight, Maya felt as if she was suffocating.
She started having irregular breaths and was breathing heavily. She walked quickly looking around for some vent, like an open window or a door which led outside.
Her eyesight was getting fuzzy. After some efforts she finally came out of the emergency room, but alas it was even more crowded, people were rushing in and out of it… It was simply a mess.
Wh-what is happening? Maya's head was spinning as she finally stumbled upon a window.
She opened it and gasped for air. She took deep breaths from her mouth trying to calm herself down. This hadn't happened in a long time. When was the last time she had a panic attack?
She clutched the windowsill tightly and when she felt it was enough, she slowly slid down the wall.
Maya slid figures backwards through her hair and held the hair tie. As she pulled it, all of her hair was set free, covering her entire face again.
After some time, she was about to stand up when she heard a voice calling her out, "Oh! I wasn't wrong… It really is you Miss Maya."
Maya looked up, it was Ella.
