Chapter 41 Hospital
It was about two p. m. when Ethan entered a private hospital with Ruby in his arms. He knew practically well why he had taken the lady to a private university instead of a public one. The risk of him being noticed and caught is something that is very high in a public hospital. Besides, Ethan tried his best to remain normal, and fought with the dilemma of revealing his relationship with Ruby. One thing he can’t possibly think about is being caught because of his negligence, the worst of it being that he was just so forgetful to site things that are so important to him.
The only name is given out right now is Ethan, and considering the fact that he can’t say he knows Ruby because it will draw several eyes to him, like seriously, and being caught is something he doesn’t want. One thing that is obvious is that Don Oscar wouldn’t want to show himself up at the police station thus, there are lot of ridks that ae will spend the rest of his life there. Thinking about it already is so much trouble for him.
Since it was the early hours of the morning, Ethan needed to knock for a little while before people actually came out to attend to him, they were nurses, and as they rushed towards his way, he cried out, playing the role of a man who cares about the lady so much.
“Help her please, I think she is dying,” Ethan said in a deep voice.
He acted his role so well, with a deep fried expression painted on her face, he acted like he was so concerned whereas this was all trash, he was just joking with them. Well, the nurses were now focused on the lady who is unconscious and probably ‘dying’ she was the center of their attention as a stretcher was brought and the lady gently placed on it.
There were two three nurses on duty, two females and one male, and the way they all focused their attention on the lady caused Ethan to release a deep breathe from her chest. It is obvious that the man needs to reason a swift way to lay out matters especially when they are going to ask. It is obvious that they will ask the question, so all he wants now is to prepare his mind for that question.
As the nurses pulled the stretcher away to a room, when they entered, Ethan wanted to follow too, but then, they blocked him out of the way, and it was awkward because when he pulled his head up, it was the weirdest thing that he had ever thought about.
The male nurse who was in their midst was the person who spoke up addressing him to them.
“Excuse me, Sir, you can’t follow us in this ward, if you do not mind, just stay there at the reception room, we are coming towards you, please,” the nurse muttered.
Immediately as he said those words, he slammed the door in front of Ethan’s face. He got mad at the man first, and instantly he shook his head and moved towards the reception room.
Ethan was kind of confused with how this building was, it was complicated, but then, he understood it at once the building was structured in a way that from the room where the room where Ruby had being kept in, the waiting room was just a step away.
Walking from left to right, Ethan was restless, he had not planned to do all these things, it was kind of bizarre. As he shoved his hand across his tanned hair, he just wished he had not gone far with the lady, oh yes! he should never have done this.
The frustration on the man’s mind was so much that he can’t think about it, right now, he clearly doesn’t know what to do or more say, all what he is faced with is just a little sad memory of Ruby begging him so profusely.
“Ethan, you should have listened to Ruby when she was begging you, now look at where your stubbornness has gotten you to, you damn idiot,” Ethan accused himself.
He was already getting too emotional and he knows that this is all his fault, that is the worst thing that can even happen to him. This is just a thing that has blown his mind around right now, he feels like he is going to think of things like that.
“Alright, Ethan do you want to wrap your mind around these things because I truly do not fine if funny, not at all,” Ethan blurted out to himself.
The effects of his actions were now resounding to himself, he hated everything that didn’t quite make sense to him, it is now funny at all but then, what. can he even do?
As Ethan’s mind was pulled out towards that direction, the moment he sensed a nurse staring at him as if he was a beast, he instantly spoke to her instantly, not wanting her to put her intention on it.
“Ehmm! please, can you help tell me where I can see a bathroom around here? I think I want to use it now,” he said lightly
Deep in him, the young man was now staring at the ladies with bright eyes, he just tried his best to act like he was normal because he did not want the girl to raise any suspicion on him.
Lucky enough for him, the lady was kind of kind, and she responded quickly too with a bright smile on his face.
“Just go towards the left, the last room on the wall,” the nurse muttered out.
Hearing this, Ethan blurted out a gentle “Thank you,” and walked towards the direction.
Actually, the man wasn’t pressed at all, like seriously, instead, the reason for him going there is to avoid the lady suspicious looks, it wan’t quite necessary but right now, he doesn’t want to exchange into series of discussion, more of it being that he doesn’t want the lady to master his actions.
Walking towards the bathroom, the man slipped the door open, and entered. Instantly, he closed the door swiftly behind him as he gave out a little breathe out of his parted lips. The stress from all these things was just something he didn’t want to think about it.
The fact that Ruby had constantly begged Ethan to remove his weight on her is just so weird, she had seen all these things coming but then, Ethan had being the beast. Walking towards the center of the room, he spotted a mirror above a sink, and instantly, he walked towards it, as he glared at the mirror in way that was absurd.
The way he glared at the mirror, he suddenly had the urge to punch it. The feeling from it was weird, holding his anger, what he finally did to change his mind was that the man just opened the tap and then culped a large quantity of water and splash it on his face. It was refreshing, the best feeling that was ever needed.
As he glared at his reflection on the mirror, he shook his head so hardly. This way of thinking was just one in a million, he hates it, but then what can he even do about it? nothing.
Culping his hands through the water once more, the young man splashed it once more on his face. This time, he shook his head lightly, it is kind of awkward, and the way he kept on glaring at the man, the thing is just weighing on him.
Suddenly, he walked out of the room and returned to the waiting room. Sitting, he carried his legs and placed it lightly across one another, it is just so relaxing, and as he waited for the nurses to come out, he was quite anxious to notice what is going on, that is quite helpful, and also the needful.
Instantly, Ethan had made up his mind to sleep when a female nurse walked into the room. It was the one that had helped him with Ruby while he was outside. He stop up immediately, glaring at the lady in front of him.
“Hey! Ms. please how is the lady?” Ethan asked in concern.
The nurse was walking towards him so he stood up immediately wanting to know what she has to say. As he took a sneak peek at the lady, he knew instantly what he wanted, and also what that was all about. The nurse was clad in a blue overall comprising of trousers, turtle neck and a blue jacket to accentuate her dressing.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
She had her hair drown behind in a ponytail, and she looked quite beautiful, just that Ruby is still a million times better than what he has to see here, and that is the simple truth, as naked as it is. Lifting her head to match his, she opened her mouth to reveal the words that were perched out in his mind.
“We noticed the lady has had several lacerations, every part that we touch on her just leads to constant screams which makes us to want to carry out a scan on her. Now, you are going to answers some questions for us if you do not mind, like seriously, if you do not mind, who is the lady to you? your spouse, girlfriend, sister or what?” the nurse questioned.
The way she looked at the man while saying does things meant that he knew everything about what she was talking about but then, it is kind of blizzare because the stress from it was is just something she can’t even think about it.
“I met her on my way home, and I thought that I should rush her to the hospital because she needs some medical attention. Oh my sweet Heaven, I had not noticed it was that bad,” Ethan spat out lying through his teeth.
I was the weirdest things that has ever happened to him, well, that is in the sense between him and the lady, but then, thinking about the fact that he lies all the time is his normal routine, just that he doesn’t owe the truth to anyone, oh yes! whatever truth he chooses to put out there is just out of his own concern, if not, he is capable of lying through out his teeth and as much as he wants it. That is the needful.
Lifting her head gently, the nurse raised a brow as he expected a reply from Ethan, but then, when he didn’t say anything, when she didn’t have anything as a reply, he decided to suddenly ask the question again.
“Ehmmm! and who are you to her?” the nurse inquired.
Ethan uad this perplexed look on his face, he felt like insulting the lady, more like the lady had done so, Thus as he glared at her as if she was deaf, he started by heaving a deep sigh from her chest, ae decided to answer the question that was being asked to him.
“I said I was the lady when I was ok my way home, meaning we are unrelated in every sense of the word,” Ethan blurted out.
Glaring at the lady who now shook his head from left to right, she had a satisfied look. At least, that was an easy lie in which he could easily wrap it around their minds, thus there is no doubt about it.
“If you will excuse me, I have other things to do in there,” the nurse murmured.
It was fast and quite easy to say those things and the moment his information had being passed, he suddenly had the courage to sit down. The nurse walked out of the room, while he decided to have a quick nap. The issue is that he doesn’t even know how long the lady will stay there.
Shaking his head from left to right, he wanted to rest for a while.
