Chương 47: I will stay close to you!

I soon went down to the 68th floor with the couple and the kid. Talking with them, I realized that they knew a bit about medicine and first aid, which helped me tell them more about how to apply medicine and their effects.

I told them about how things work in the medicine world and how they can take a proper approach towards healing people. I was keeping things as basic as I could so that they could sink in the knowledge.

It took about a couple of hours to teach them basic first aid and what to do in dangerous situations, which they learnt quite fast. Though, as I finished telling them everything, they kept looking at me as if they were looking at someone divine… except for their words,

"Are you sure you are not a devil?"

I almost slipped as I heard that and I glared at the couple as well as the kid, who was laughing.

"Well, you are not an angel, and only a devil could possess such knowledge and the ability to teach it so well," he grinned as he looked at me and I sighed as I smiled at them as well before bidding them farewell and moving down the floor.

As I moved down to the 35th floor, I saw a shadow standing in the darkness in front of the apartment where Caroline was.

"Excuse me!" I asked as I called out whosoever was there and I heard a familiar voice coming from there,

"Michael?" Caroline asked with a slight questioning voice and I answered her,"yeah. It is me."

I then moved towards her with a slight smile on my face and touched her head. It was quite dark, but I could still barely make out her face and honestly… She looked quite beautiful.

"Where were you for the last few hours? Don't tell me you went down again all by yourself?" she spoke as she touched my face. Though unlike last time, this time there was worry in her voice. There was a fear in her voice… and grasping her soft hand with my own, I spoke in a calm voice,

"I just went up to the terrace to get my head cleared up."

"Ah! Is that so?" she breathed in relief before she asked,"so? How was the view up there?"

"Dark. Creepy. I felt chills running down my spine… luckily two warm souls were there to comfort me and we talked a little about life and stuff," I answered as I recalled the couple with whom I was talking up until now.

"Huh? You talked with someone? Who was it?'' There was worry in her voice as I heard a slightly shaken voice, but when I told her about the elderly couple, her slightly worry-filled voice became energetic again.

"Did you sleep well?" I changed the topic again and she said,"mhmm. I feel much better now. What about you, Michael? Did you get any sleep?"

"Yeah, I took a couple of naps," I lied to her cause telling her that I didn't sleep for about a week now will only make her worry more. Though, looks like she didn't like my answer as she spoke,

"Just naps? You should get proper sleep too, Michael. Come with me. You are going to sleep now. We can't do anything during the night anyway," she spoke as she dragged me back to the bedroom where she had previously been sleeping.

Reaching the bedroom, she let my hand go and said,"Sleep."

Honestly, I wasn't really… or maybe I was tired, okay, but it wasn't too much… though I doubt I can get away from here.

"All right, I will sleep… is that fine?" I said as I took off my shoes and then removed my bag filled with weapons that I always carried with me. Removing it properly, I placed it on the floor against the bed and then reached the bed, where I lay on my back.

-Click!

I then heard a clicking sound of the door closing and I wondered if Caroline went away from here. Well, she is really a caring girl… I should make myself stronger for her sake as well..

"It is going to be more turning tomorrow, huh?" I mumbled silently as I placed both my hands behind my head and looked at the dark ceiling in the darkroom.

-Crrrrrr!

The window to the balcony opened up and the light of the moonlight entered the room, lighting up the room a little.

"Maybe it will be harder… but with us together… it will be a little bit easier too," Caroline spoke as she moved towards me and climbed up on the bed in her night suit.

It was a clay colored silky top with pajamas, as much as I could make out from the moonlight before she laid beside me, placing her head on my arms, turning to my side with her body touching mine and one hand on my chest.

My heart started racing really fast and my head was spinning a little. My body was reacting against the touch she provided me with. I could feel her breath against my chest, and the feeling of her soft chest was also… very intimate.

She then slowly placed her leg on my body, trying to get into a comfortable position as she slept beside me.

"Thank you… for saving me…" she spoke as she laid on me with her grip tightening on my shirt, but I couldn't properly respond because I was already having difficulty in concentrating on anything other that her body… but still I spoke,

"It is.. fine."

"No matter what they say about you, Michael, I will always be with you. Standing on your side, okay?" she spoke as she ran her ring finger over my chest. So I kind of was able to make out that she was drawing a circle on my chest.

"Okay," was what I said without understanding her question…

Then… she brought her lips closer to my ears and I think…I heard something…

"Hey… Wanna do it?" she asked in the most melodious voice I ever heard from her.
