“Kyyaa… Why do you always surprise me.”Lexie hit Rafe's arm reflexively. This left them both silent for a moment. Awkwardness and guilt enveloped Lexie's body because she shouldn't have hit Rafe like that. The two of them weren't too familiar to touch each other.“What are you doing in there? You're taking too long and starving me."Rafe repeated his question again. His two eyes explored Lexie's body which emitted an alluring fragrance. The memory of Lexie's upper body covered only in a pink mini bra bothered him. He suddenly felt a sexual arousal that he had never felt before when he saw Lexie was caressing her belly in a gentle motion. The expression on her face as she closed her eyes in front of the mirror, made him feel a strange tingle that tickled all over his nerves. He was not a young man who had never seen and touched a woman's body. He has had a lot of girlfriends since he was in high school. And that's been years ago. Why was
Rough breaths erupted from his mouth and nostrils after he slammed her bedroom door with a bang. Anger was at the peak of his head, he felt like getting angry and exploded. At the end of the hall he saw Kaella standing by the railing, her face strained when she saw him staring at her. Then she walked hurriedly down the stairs with a tray and glasses in her hand. It was probably the pregnant milk that Lexie was supposed to drink tonight. But his anger messed everything up. He made the girl cry again and be scared again. He turned into a monster again.Rafe turned to Lexie's bedroom door which had just been slammed. His anger felt irrational. He shouldn't have been so angry just because Lexie was trying to be haughty in front of him. He could probably just ignore her and let her roam around until she was exhausted and then go to her room on her own. But he didn't let Lexie do that. Instead of ignoring her arrogance and a hint of rebelliousness, he let out a tantrum that he shou
The doctor standing beside Wren looked at Rafe with a strange look of wonder and admiration in Rafe's eyes. He knew that the doctor was looking more at the bloodstains on his shirt than at his worried face."Lexie will be fine. Doctor Herman Jose has done a great job." Wren tapped the doctor on the shoulder a few times.“You're lucky that he's in charge of ER tonight. He's one of the best doctors here. And he handled Lexie's bleeding well.""Thank you very much, Doctor Jose.""You're welcome. You managed to get her to the hospital in time. The bleeding isn't too bad and we don't need to give her a blood transfusion.""I thought she was bleeding a lot.""Well, this time Lexie was lucky that you brought her here so quickly." Wren takes over, and he suddenly turns to Herman for a subtle eviction.“Thank you very much for your help tonight, Herman. I will take over Lexie after this.”"Sure. I will return to my pos
His steps were heavy down the lonely and gloomy hospital hallway. Lexie's treatment room felt very far away, even though it was only twenty yards in front of him. But because his footsteps were too slow, he felt the room was becoming too far to reach.Rafe was feeling really messed up today. Especially tonight because all the past that he had been trying to forget came back to the surface and hit him hard. Every place in this hospital gave him a bad effect. He repeatedly lost the people he loved here. And tonight he lost his baby.Rafe exhaled loudly and tousled his hair in frustration. He must be cursed to face all these things for the rest of his life. Wren's words disturbed him. He couldn't possibly get that damn mental illness again. He didn't want to see Doctor Liberton again. He'd had enough of the therapies he'd been on over the years and the sickening drugs to get him to sleep more. He's cured right? He didn't need to torture his body with those drugs right?
Lexie became even more awkward when Rafe wiped the spilled water from her lips to her neck with a tissue. She had never been treated this special by anyone. Especially a foreign man who just hours ago had yelled at her. "Would you like another drink?" "Not. My throat is not dry anymore. You been here all night?” “I haven't moved anywhere since you were transferred to this room. I haven't even changed my shirt yet." Lexie was stunned to see Rafe's appearance which was very messy and covered with blood. Rafe's face was gloomy and filled with tired lines. Seeing Rafe's condition made the guilt she tried to forget to surface again. She failed to keep the baby alive. "You okay? You suddenly became silent.” Lexie glanced at Rafe, then she lowered her face again. This time it was deeper until her chin was almost pressed against her chest. "He's gone. Your baby dead." "Don't think about it. He's still blood. He's not even a fet
Rafe slams the documents on the table and releases the anger that has been boiling over his head on his assistant, Matthew Brunwick or Matt, for all the mistakes he made today on his precious projects. “I told you two weeks ago that I don't agree with the price proposed by Wilcox, I want the funding report amended, and you type the amounts I gave you. Why do you still maintain the same nominal?” "Sorry, but Mr. Wilcox said—” "Who paid you, huh?" Rafe shouted angrily. He didn't like that his assistant took his marketing manager's words more than his. “Wilcox is an idiot and has no confidence in my company's capabilities. He thought that by lowering the price of my parts, he could attract more clients to earn more turnover. But no, my price will bring in more clients and profit. I'm pretty confident with my factory made parts. We have been producing the best parts for many years. You understand that, Matt?” Matthew nodded stiffly then walked out
"Very sad," said Wren sadly. “Every day Rafe sat outside the operating room, waiting for his father and mother to come out of the operating room, even though his parents were buried. He kept coming to the hospital because he thought his mother and father would come out of the operating room in good codition one day. I sympathized with him greatly and decided to accompany him to sit in front of the operating room. As the son of a doctor, I was in the hospital quite often to keep my father company. My mother and father divorced, so we lived alone. I'm lonely at home alone after school. I always come to the hospital after school to tease the young nurses and doctors.” Wren laughed reminiscing about his funny past. He didn't expect that he would be able to get through the tough times in the past and stay here to continue his father's passion as a doctor. “You guys had a difficult childhood. I... my childhood was quite happy and fun. But everything changed when I was growing up a
Lexie looked at the pale area on the back of her hand that looked weird. They were the marks of intravenous needles and medical plasters that were stuck to her skin tightly. The infusion needle had a striking effect on her skin. Like a pale color that is not pretty and looks very contrasting with other areas of her skin. On her right hand the traces of the intravenous needle she had forcibly removed four days ago are starting to fade. Lexie chuckled blandly that she got two IV needle marks on the back of her hand in just a short period of time. How often she was in and out of the hospital these days. It seemed odd and somewhat amusing that she was rarely even a patient in the hospital. She's a healthy girl. Growing up in the abundance of parental love. And she is the happiest girl in the world. Yeah, but you were. Something inside her head mocked her. She heard the voice echo over and over again to make fun of her misfortune at being kicked out of the house
