"You feel... so close." Lena smiled and baby pinched the man"s cheeks. Then she laughed again... one of her crazy laughed.
"Lena... you"re hurting me."
Lena.
Lena stopped pinching the man and jerked her hand back. Her back wasn"t on the hard gra.s.sy ground but on something soft. And Kris... he is real?
Lena reached her hand out, but what surprised Kris.. was a sudden slap across his face.
*SLAP*
Kris immediately stepped back and looked at Lena... "What was that for?"
Lena sat up, looking at herself first and then at everyone in the hospital room. She glanced at the clock and it had only been two hours since she arrived here. But for her... it felt like months!
She instantly removed the blanket and jumped to hug Kris. Lena burst into a loud cry.
Kris put his hands around her and hugged her. Seeing her cry was more painful than the slap. She was fine just a while ago when they were talking... what happened?
Kris looked at his men who were guarding the room. They knew that their boss wanted them to leave. They helped Jackson, who was awake too, and they moved to a different room.
=== 30 minutes ago ===
Jackson fluttered his eyes open. He did not know how long he had slept for. The sun was still bright outside. He felt a slight pain from the burn on his arm but it was not too bad. He can still feel the pain killer doing its job.
He needed to use the bathroom badly though. He was considering if he needed to call a nurse or not. In the end, he stood up and grab the IV with him to use the bathroom. After he was done, he finally noticed that Lena was sleeping on the large sofa.
He smiled. Lena must be a really good person.
"I think she had a boyfriend... or was it the brother?" Jackson tried to remember but his memory was a bit hazy. Either way, that person was lucky to have Lena.
He was about to walk back to his bed, but he suddenly heard Lena made a sound. He walked a bit closer to her, and noticed that she was... crying?
He bent down and used his uninjured arm to reached for Lena, trying to wake her up. However, the door suddenly opened and one of the guards glared at him.
"What are you doing to her?!" K9 shouted at him.
"I...." Jackson took his hand back and step away further from Lena. "She... she"s having a nightmare... I think?"
K9 looked at his partner, K12. K12 stayed outside for lookout while K9 went inside the room. He looked at the Lady Boss and noticed that there were some tears on her face.
"What did you do to her?"
"What? I didn"t do anything!" Jackson defended himself. These men are good only when they are keeping him safe.. but scary when they start accusing him.
K9 glared at him and then bent down. He gently placed a hand on Lena"s shoulder and shook her slightly.
"Lady Boss??" He gently shook her again. "Miss. Shen?"
He didn"t want to be too rough on the Lady Boss, but she seems to be not waking up. She made a whimper but she was still not waking up.
He shook her a little harder this time. No response. He sighed and immediately called his boss. He shouldn"t shake the Lady Boss much harder or this boss will punish him later.
"What is it?" Kris answered. He had just picked up the food he ordered and was walking back to his car.
"Boss... It"s the Lady."
Kris stopped walking. "What happened?"
"Well..." K9 looked at Lena who was deeply sleeping on the sofa. "I think she is having a nightmare... I tried waking her up but she"s not budging. She"s crying in her sleep..."
"Ok. I"ll be right there."
Kris immediately hung up the car and rushed to his car. He sped his way to the hospital and ran to the VIP room. When he entered the room, he instantly spotted Lena on the sofa. If it was not for the tears on her face, he would a.s.sume that she was peacefully sleeping.
He went on his knees and wiped the tears off her face.
"Lena...." He whispered her name. "Wake up."
He knew that she was a very deep sleeper... but it never took so much work to wake her. He placed a hand on her shoulder and tried to shake her. No matter how hard he tried, she did not move.
"Go get the doctor." Kris demanded.
K12 looked at his boss and then ran out to call for a doctor.
"How long has she been like this?!" Kris glared at K9 and then at the innocent lawyer.
"I check on them every half hour... I didn"t see that Miss... I mean the Lady Boss was having a nightmare at all. My fault, sir." K9 replied.
Then Kris looked at Jackson. Jackson held his breath. He had worked on many dangerous cases before. Drugs, kidnapping, politics... but no one as scary as this man in front of him.
"I... I just woke up and used the bathroom... and I... I saw her like that."
"Tsk..." Kris went back to focus on Lena. Her face was already wet again with new tears. He wiped it dry again.
He was holding her hand and bent low to kiss her forehead. "Lena... I"m here. Don"t be scared."
After what felt like forever, he looked back at K9.
"Why isn"t the doctor here yet?! Is everyone in this hospital dead asleep?!"
"Lena...." Kris was very worried. "Why are you sleeping here?"
Just when K9 was about to exit the room, Lena suddenly opened her eyes and smiled. She put a hand on Kris" face.
"I miss you." Lena chuckled.
"I miss you too..." Kris replied.
