Chapter 16: Did I Marry a Bully?
Just when Jasmyn thought her life was about to come to an end, her friend rose up from nowhere and came to her rescue. She wouldn't miss that opportunity for anything, she ran into the ward as fast as she could, but without wondering how it was possible?
She had been informed just a minute ago that Zephyrine had undergone an operation, so how could she wake up a few minutes after it?
She barged into the ward and in the next minute the smell of antiseptics hit her nostrils. Jasmyn was never a fan of hospitals, ever since she was young, she had a phobia for hospitals. She believed that only people that are about to die are brought to the hospital. She would have never wished to be in the hospital currently, but if she didn't appear, she would eventually visit the hospital but in a more severe circumstance.
Zephyrine lay on the bed with her eyes closed and she looked pale like a patient that she is. Jasmyn's face turned disturbed, Zephyrine was more than a friend and she could feel what Zephyrine is feeling currently.
She held Zephyrine's hand and brought it up to her cheek. Zephyrine's hand was so cold that it made Jasmyn wonder how she would face her uncle. Though she wasn't the cause of the accident, how would she explain it to the devil outside? Jasmyn was sure enough that Kendrick would be waiting for her to come outside so that he could finish her earlier.
Somehow, Jasmyn felt remorseful for the miserable person responsible for the accident.
Zephyrine eyelashes flutter open sensing the presence of someone in the room.
"Jasmyn, you are here. How did you get here? Did you bring me here?"
Jasmyn was taken aback for a minute at how innocent she looked. It happened that she didn't know that her dear husband brought her to the hospital. How would Kendrick feel knowing that his credit was being given to his cousin, whom he doesn't even care about.
Jasmyn didn't date take the credit, but seeing how innocent she looked, she felt the urge to tease her, but she didn't want her to stress herself so much.
Zephyrine tried to stand up since Jasmyn refused to give her the answer to her question. Jasmyn pushed her down on the bed realizing the situation in front of her. She dare not get caught.
"Keep resting, your husband should come in now. As of now, you've gotten me in big trouble. I should get going, see you later!" She quickly escaped before Zephyrine could ask her a whole lot of questions, which would without a doubt take a lot of time to answer. It would ease Jasmyn's punishment if she gets all the answers from Kendrick.
Zephyrine was left wondering in the ward, Jasmyn's words sounded like gibberish to her. She didn't even bother giving her a hint of what she was talking about before she ran away. Zephyrine was confused, if it was Jasmyn that brought her there, she was sure that she would be by her side taking care of all her needs. But the Jasmyn she saw didn't even care if she was hungry or okay.
Considering that they just met is enough for her to expect a hug from Jasmyn.
While she was deep in her thoughts, she felt a big warm palm cover hers. It brought her out of her deep world at once, she opened her eyes wide enough to see who it was. To her surprise, it was the least person she expected to see. Kendrick? At the hospital with her, and with the look of concern on his face? Zephyrine found it quite hard to believe but it was totally true.
Kendrick was dissatisfied with that look he saw. "What kind of poison did Jasmyn feed you?"
Why did that question sound weird to Zephyrine's ear? Zephyrine looked around to confirm if he was talking to her. And on confirmation, it was definitely her. Poison? Zephyrine's heart sank at those weird questions. She didn't know if it was the accident that affected her brain to the extent that she couldn't understand simple sentences again. How would she run a company with this brain? Her brow raised with concern and she frowned.
Kendrick sighed and then used his hand to smoothen her frowned brow, "I can't be with an old lady." His sentence was short and it seems to be the only thing Zephyrine had understood after waking up.
"How did you get here?" She managed to ask, even with her hoarsed voice. It feels like her lungs have forgotten how to speak properly.
He gave her an apprehensive look but his eyes showed affection for her. "Stop talking, what you would like to eat. It's late already. I told you to always make me aware of your whereabouts. You are such a stubborn lady…." Kendrick continued muttering to himself as he left the room to get her food.
Zephyrine couldn't control the laughter that rolled out of her lip after he left. He looked like a completely lovesick person. She has never seen a man look like that before. She was able to get her mind off the pain while thinking about his charming smile.
In a while, Kendrick returned with a man behind him, who seems to be a doctor carrying food flasks. She raised an eyebrow, what was going on? That look of displeasure was still so evident on his face.
Zephyrine couldn't quite hear what he was saying but thanks to being that she could read lips, she was able to follow 'I told you I didn't want to see a scar on her body. Do you want your medical certificate burned'?
Her eyes moved to the man at the back to read his expression. The man didn't look afraid, and she was able to tell that they seemed close and he was used to that kind of threat from the man.
"Did I marry a bully?" Zephyrine asked herself as her eyes settled on the man's face. He looked angelic, but his mind seemed to be full of evil.
"Let me see," Kendrick commanded before he went on to partially open her clothes to see the traces of operating. His cold glare landed on the man at the back, but he shrugged his shoulders, which meant 'I don't care, you could do better'.
"Hey, beautiful lady. Do you feel any sort of pain?"
Zephyrine paused to check if she would but she didn't which showed that the doctor was a capable one. She shook her head and then she saw Kendrick finally relieved, even though he looked like he was not convinced.
"Get lost!"
Who in the fucking world treats their doctor like that?
