Hazel sighed as she glanced at the large clock in her room. It's already an hour past her supposed office hour. Currently the staff who work the night shift must have started preparing in their respective rooms.
An hour ago Mrs. Eden had told her to go home. But she purposely waited until all the night shift staff who worked on several different floors with her put themselves in their respective rooms first. She wanted to check the CCTV footage in the control room. Today she really wants to avoid people who work the morning shift. She was a bit embarrassed by the embarrassing incident that happened in the toilet. She had shouted so loudly that it caused unnecessary noise. She had guessed that for the rest of the afternoon everyone would be gossiping about her. They might make fun of her spoiled attitude towards Wyne or her dorky behavior that seemed like she wanted attention.
Exiting the elevator doors, Hazel walked straight to the control room on the
Calvin panics. He was speeding like a madman through the bustling Seattle streets tonight to get Hazel to the hospital. Since then he hadn't stopped glancing at Hazel who was sitting beside him with an uneasy heavy breath. He was afraid that the breath would suddenly disappear from Hazel's lungs. He was afraid that her stomach would not move up and down again like now. When he had to pass the line of cars in front of him, he immediately pressed his horn hard to get all the cars out of his way. He was carrying a dying woman. The woman could die at any time if he was too late to take her to the hospital. God, he really regretted his rash act, suddenly turning left without giving any sign. He startled the mini van speeding in the opposite direction and reflexively turned the steering wheel into Hazel's lane. Then the woman.... the woman died because of him. “Hazel, please hold on.” To reassure himself that Hazel was still breathing and alive, he took her hand th
"Hello? Catherine speaking. Who's this? Is there anything I can do for you?” With a heavy breath, he began to raise his voice to say something to Catherine. He thought Catherine needed to know that Hazel was currently struggling to live in there. "Kate, it's me Calvin." "Calvin? Are you Calvin McAdam? Don’t kidding me! If you want to fool me by pretending to be Calvin, tsk, I won't be fooled. Calvin McAdam is dead." He frowned in confusion. Didn't Kiev finally admit to his lies and tell Hazel that he was still alive? He only asked Kiev to keep his whereabouts a secret because he didn't want to make too many more lies in his life. “Catherine, I'm Calvin. I'm not dead yet. I'm still alive." "Nonsense! Kiev has even shown Hazel your grave in D.C.” "My grave? Kiev? Damn it! Kiev lied! I've been in intensive care at a D.C. hospital for a while because of the serious gunshot wound Edgar gave me." "Whatever! Now what's the poi
“We have conditions here. Can you explain to me what happened?” Kiev, the man was still as chatty as he had last remembered. And fierce. His sharp gaze seemed to be poking holes in his eyes as the man tried to search his eyes to dig up all the things that had just happened. There was no need to doubt that he was angry right now. Guess what he messed up last night? Failed dinner with his wife or worse? Failed sex early in the game. Whatever it was, he had a bad condition. He had been in prison for ten hours since last night. The policemen who dragged him from the hospital insisted that he had made a mistake by driving recklessly to cause harm to others. But then he argued that he was on duty. He's an undercover FBI agent. The cops didn't believe him of course because he didn't have his ID with him. They looked at each other, then laughed at him. They thought they had just heard the funniest joke they had ever heard. Annoyed at the degra
The first thing she felt when she opened her eyes was that her whole body ached. Hands, feet, head, everything hurts. She seemed to have a hard time moving her hands without causing a terrible stinging pain to run through her body. Thousands of elephants seemed to have just trampled her body.For five minutes she tried to adjust to the pain and everything around her. She knew she was in the hospital. Last night her car hit a power pole as she tried to chase the terrorist. Actually the damage wouldn't have been that bad had she been driving at a normal speed, but she wasn't. In order to catch up to the lambo, she pushed the gas pedal too deep. Last night she was so eager to chase after the terrorist that she finally couldn't control her car when she was startled by the appearance of a mini van in front of her. What a messed up night.She slowly tried to move her right hand. She was relieved that she didn't get any permanent damage. Her hands are still intact, her legs t
Hazel felt the air around her begin to thin out. Her heart was beating fast and she had unconsciously dropped the soup spoon in her hand until the sound startled herself who was now in a state of extreme shock."Careful. I'll get you new spoon."The man ducked under her bed to pick up the soup spoon that had just fallen. As their eyes met each other, Hazel instantly felt tears start to fill her eye sockets."Are you real? I… I just had an accident,” she stammered in a choked voice. “I must have hit my head so hard yesterday that I started hallucinating about Calvin. You're just my hallucination right?"I'm not your hallucination."Calvin could feel Hazel's palms cold and quivering as he touched them for the first time in months of excruciating pain. He felt Hazel about to pull his hand away, but he held it tightly as he stared into Hazel's stunning eyes.“I'm real, Hazel. It's me, Calvin. You're not hallucinating. I'
The box containing his girl's doll with a knife and food coloring belonging to his ex-wife that he found in the refrigerator looks perfect. The idea is brilliant, isn't it? Not in vain last night he smoked marijuana to clear his chaotic mind. That damn trial had ruined his life. He was threatened with imprisonment for another sentence if his stupid ex-wife exposed all his rottenness in court. The secret. He was pretty sure his ex-wife didn't know anything about his job. He used to be a successful car repair entrepreneur. He made a lot of money, but he liked to gamble. It had become his routine since he had not married his ex-wife. At that time he had stopped gambling. He thought it was time to live uprightly with his family. He loves his daughter very much. She is the most precious pearl in his life. Her presence in the world is a gift. Because of the presence of his girl, he is determined to live a better life to make his family happy. But one day, when his daughter
Just as Calvin turned after putting down Hazel's tray of dirty dishes, Catherine appeared behind him, about to ask the nurse where Hazel's treatment room was. The woman's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at him for the first time in many long months. He knew what Catherine was thinking right now, he looked a little different from the last time she saw him. His hair is now shorter. He had trimmed it before deciding to become Hazel's stalker. Then the dark circles under his eyes must have made him look like a ghost. But Catherine didn't last long in her surprise, instead she greeted him sincerely. "Calvin? Long time no see." "I guess so too. Very long. Did I scare you into looking at me like that?” Catherine laughed. Now she doesn't look as gentle as she used to. Her laughter was loud among the nurses who were so quiet. Calvin suspects this is the real Catherine. “I was surprised, I admit it. You're thinner. What happened to you all this time?”
The cafeteria between breakfast and lunch hours was very quiet. There weren't many people sitting on the chairs, leaving only three women in doctor's coats who seemed to be busy gossiping. Their conversation seemed very interesting. One of the three women with short dark hair can be seen banging the table repeatedly to support her excitement while telling a story."You don't mind us talking here?""Absolutely not."The man named Arthur pulled out a chair for himself, while Calvin remained standing ready to order."I'm going to order a latte, you want something?"“Mineral water, thank you.”Without saying anything Calvin immediately walked over to the waitress who was waiting for him at the ordering table. A woman in her mid forties. Her dark brown hair was in a simple bun and she wore a bandana to keep the sweat off her forehead. She looked friendly when she greeted him and smiled when he was actual
