Chapter 64- Too Scary!
Kai"s whole body froze in place at Eva"s sudden action, feeling her warm lips on his forehead was the last thing he expected, next to the words she said.
It was as if the whole world stopped for a second and the only thing he could clearly sense was Eva"s warmth being transmitted to him through that kiss. Even for someone as calm and as collected as Kai, this was still a surprise.
However, he didn"t hate it. In fact, he enjoyed it more than he could ever admit. Somehow, he could sense the emotions being transmitted through that kiss. He could feel love, rea.s.surance, and trust. He could pain, sadness, and worry too. It was as if Eva was telling him "If we are going to be happy, we shall be happy together and if we are going to be sad, we shall share that like we are the same person".
When Kai came to that realization, it hit him. Although he knew of it for the longest time and Eva didn"t shy away from it at all. But, now it hit him properly… Eva was in love with him, more than he expected.
Her feelings were literally oozing out of every fiber of her being like a waterfall that never ceases to move. She didn"t hesitate to show him how much she cared for him. As they say, actions speak better than words and Eva was using both to the extreme!
After a long time, Eva"s kiss ended, cutting Kai"s thoughts along with it. Then, Eva rubbed his cheek gently and said with a tear in her eye.
"I really love you, Kai." Her smile was so bright that for a second Kai wanted to avert his eyes from her. A smile that pure wasn"t something he saw before and that made him think that he was too tarnished to accept it.
"What is wrong with me?" He thought. Ever since he woke up, his mind was playing tricks with him as if it wasn"t his.
"Let me be there for you when you need me. Even if it never happens, I"m fine with just standing by your side. Now more than ever."
"..." Kai"s eyes squinted slightly.
"Don"t give up on your life yet, Kai. If you truly want to live, I"m sure there is a way. We will find it together and grant you a long and happy life. I will make sure of that."
Hearing her words, Kai finally realized that he had another question to answer. Does he still want to live or not? Does he want to give this life another chance?
If he asked this question 5 years ago, Kai"s answer might"ve been different. But, now, he somehow was certain of it. After what he saw and experienced, he reached a good answer.
"I still… want to live."
At his answer, Eva"s face brightened even more as she replied.
"Then, let"s work hard and find the cure… together."
"Ehem…"
Suddenly, the two heard someone clearing their throat which made them turn to look at the door. There, a nurse was looking at the two with a blushing face. Kai had already noticed her presence from the very start but he didn"t bother to mention it. He didn"t see why he should"ve.
"S-Sorry to disturb your… conversation. But, I heard that Master Kai woke up and I called the doctors immediately. They will arrive soon." The nurse said as she averted her eyes.
"Waaa… N-No! We weren"t doing anything! We were just talking!" Eva yelled as she realized the misunderstanding and pushed herself away from Kai. Their faces were inches away from each other, for heaven"s sake!
Although she wouldn"t mind actually doing it with her beloved, Eva wouldn"t want to trouble Kai since he might not like it.
"I didn"t realize it because of the situation b-but, I was so close to Kai"s face and even… Even, dared to kiss his forehead!! What is wrong with me?!" Her face turned into a red tomato from embarra.s.sment and her heart rate increased exponentially.
The latter"s face returned to normal as if nothing happened as he tried to rise up.
"What are you doing, Kai?!"
"My body feels sluggish… I feel better, I will leave." He said as he cracked his neck, making a crisp sound in the process. "How long have I been asleep for?"
"4 days, 15 hours, and… 25 minutes," Eva said precisely as she looked at her watch. "Hey, wait! Didn"t you hear the nurse? The doctors want to check up on you before leaving."
Pulling the IV chord out of his body, he stood up while Eva was panicking by his side.
"It"s pointless. I know my body. I"m fine." He replied coldly before stretching his limbs. Except for the hospital gown, Kai looked as good as always.
"Did something happen in the last few days?"
"Hmm, no not really. Oh, wait, yeah, something did happen." Eva rubbed her chin as she remembered something.
"That bitc- I mean, that woman Kaya has been searching for you for a few days now. I did cover for you by saying that you went to visit your relative but she didn"t buy it. She"s going crazy."
Just remembering the chaos Kaya made in search of Kai gave Eva a headache. That b.i.t.c.h was too ridiculous!! She was ready to destroy the whole city just to find him.
"I see…" Kai nodded his head.
"What about the festival?"
"Oh, It"s tomorrow, don"t worry, we still have time before it starts."
At that moment, a group of doctors barged into the room in a hurry. They all froze when they saw Kai standing on his feet.
"S-Sir, you can"t move! Your body is barely alive!! You will kill yourself." One of them said.
"... I"m fine."
"Fine?! Sir, your heart reversed your blood flow! How can you be fine?!"
"My vitals are stable and my heart is also working normally. No need for pointless tests. I"m leaving." Kai said with a chilling tone, making the doctors flinch. His piercing eyes chilled their very souls.
Meanwhile, Eva was trying to hold her giggles. For some reason, she felt Kai was now similar to a small kid refusing to take the medicine and she found that extremely adorable.
"So cute… and cool!"
"Lady Eva, please stop him. He will harm himself."
"Huh?~ If Kai said he is fine, then he is fine. Deal with the paperwork for his discharge. The payment is completed." Eva said, all smiles.
"I will give you the money back," Kai said.
"No, no, please don"t. The only thing I have too much of is money. If you want it all, I will give it to you any time. Just ask.~"
Then, under the doctors" stupified expressions, the two left the room as they talked like nothing happened.
"S-Should we stop him, sir?" One of the doctors asked the chief physician.
The latter shook his head with a shocked expression.
"Those… aren"t normal people. If we try to stop them, we will get in trouble. Especially that girl."
"Why?"
"Why, you say? She wanted to close the whole hospital just to accommodate that boy"s medical care and when she found out I couldn"t do that, she almost killed me!! But, luckily, I could convince her that the VVIP room is enough for the boy. Not even some celebrities or political figures could get that room and she wasn"t satisfied with it!!"
As the group stared at the duo walking away, they could only gulp down a mouthful of saliva. They were too scary!

Meanwhile, far away, a certain scientist was having the hardest time of her life. Looking from behind the screen with a scared expression, Elu eyed her best friend who was sitting on the chair.
Although Kaya usually had a cold aura around her, today was completely different. If before she was like a cold fridge, she was now akin to a raging blizzard. Her face was extremely dark and grim too as if she was having the worst day of her life.
"K-Kaya?"
"Find Kai, Elu. You have two hours." The latter replied coldly as she kept staring at the screen in front of her.
"*Gulp* I-I will try…"
"s.h.i.t, I"m really in trouble! I"ve never seen Kaya this angry before!! Who the h.e.l.l is this Kai boy she"s searching for?!"
