“When will she wake up?”
Shaking his head, even the doctor can calculate when will Lea open her eyes.
“Sorry for you to hear this but it is up to the patient when will she open her eyes. But rest assured we did not find any complications at all. She is just tired and maybe lost her consciousness due to the shock of what happened. She is lucky to not gain any injuries than spraining her ankle”
Tapping Brylle’s shoulder, the doctor excuse himself.
“And before I forget about it, do you have any contacts to her relatives? Maybe they have the idea if she ever went through a traumatic event in the past. We saw some weird waves on her brain, it would be good if she would lessen stress”
Not having any knowledge about the real origin or Lea, Brylle can’t help but smile bitterly.
“I have none…”
Shaking his head, he look at Lea that was sleeping soundly in the hospital bed. It is luxurious compared to any bed that one can see. What can they say if this was the best room one can ever find in this know hospital.
“Is that so? I will now take my leave” halting on his way, he look at the man full of worries. “And do take care of yourself to. It wouldn’t be good if the two of you get hospitalize. The bill… what I mean”
A small smile escapes on his lips as he head outside the room. As soon as Brylle heard the sound of the door closing, he can’t help but had his eyes lock up on her sight.
“Lea… thinking about it… I really don’t know almost anything about you. About who you really are…”
And so his eyes landed on the folder he put on the desk.
“Will you be happy even if you forget about the you before? I don’t want to lose anything again… especially if it is with that guy”
Hatred, that is the only thing that one can see on his eyes as he remember the image of Aiden. Even by just hearing the said name, he can’t help but be in anguish as he have so much thing he can state on why he hates him.
‘This is my son, Aiden’
‘What a cute little child. But I hope Brylle will grow up like him’
‘Why is it Bianca? You don’t want him to be like Paul?’
‘Hah, that child is so bright and I was surprised he thinks matured compared to his age. You know he got it from his father’
‘Oh Brylle, why don’t you play with Aiden? I will ask the maid to prepare some snacks and drinks’
‘Claudia, you still looks beautiful as ever. Seems like this fart of a brother of mine got really lucky making you fall for him. what did you like about him anyway? If you ever get tired of that idiot, do tell me. I can introduce you to some I know’
‘Bianca, watch your mouth. And don’t even dare’
Giggles escapes their lips as the adults jokes around. But the quiet Brylle and Aiden just look at each other. Calculating each move that one would do.
‘You have everything with you and you dare be like that? compared to me… I only have my mom since my father left me. And you dare talk about how I don’t know? It is you who don’t know! You know nothing at all!’
Grew up with his father not being on his side, he only have a mother to live with him. his half brother was there but he never really get close to him like other siblings. Part of it was because of them having different fathers. Due to what happened, Claudia’s passing together with Bianca falling comatose, none of the kids wished for such thing to happen.
Spending his nights crying for his mother’s safety, he hated how Claudia died having anger towards him.
‘This is all his fault…. If not because of him…’
Day by day, his life turns pale. As if there is no color in anything he do at all. As if… there is nothing else to make him smile and be happy. And his mother’s death pushed him to completely have hatred on his heart.
No matter what happens, the hatred he had towards Aiden will remain.
‘He stole everything, he is the one to blame!’
A kids heart is so simple. By just pushing the blame to other’s they can be at ease as they have someone they hated for what happened. Doing what he can to make fun of Aiden, it was part of him hating his cousin that much. He does not wish for him to be happy.
Lea’s POV
I woke up only to see myself in a white room. As soon as my eyes rolled scanning the place, I think it was a room for patients.
Feeling a warm thing covering my palm, there I saw a man leaning his body as his face rest beside my hand.
‘Brylle’
It was him. I not know why but… there is a frown on his face. As if something is making him mad.
“Brylle?...”
I called but hesitates as he was still sleeping. But that frown did not disappear. In fact, it turns worst. Is he having a nightmare?
“Brylle? Brylle! Are you alright?”
“Hmm…”
Shaking his head as he force his eyes close as if his head hurts, I was worried as to how he really was. But as soon as his eyes landed on where I was, what welcomes me was a warm hug.
“Lea…”
He mumbled my name to my ears. I can feel his breath. And for some reason… I can hear his heart beating.
“I am glad you are finally awake. You don’t know how worried I was… I was afraid I would also lose you… Lea…”
Caressing his back, I can’t help but feel pity on him. did he had a hard time because of me? And what does he mean by his words? What truly did happen?
“Sorry if I make you worry”
“NO, Sorry I wasn’t there to protect you. Sorry… for being a failure as your boyfriend…”
End of Lea’s POV
Eyes meeting as he let go of the hug, Lea smile at him so gently. Making him feel like it was an angel beside him.
“You don’t want that to happen too. And also I am fine.. someone helped me”
That is when his face turns sour. Even Lea can read how he hated to hear that words.
‘Did I say something wrong about that? but it was true that someone helped me… what is his name again? right… Aiden it is’
“Lea”
Calling her in such tone, Lea can’t help but feel frightened somehow. As if the on if front of his is not the Brylle that he knew. As if the one speaking at her is someone else. Never once in their time together did she felt like this around Brylle.
‘Why do I feel scared… somehoe?’
“Yes?”
She mumbled almost stuttering in surprise.
Glare… anger and hatred can be seen on his eyes. As if what he heard makes his stomach upset. As if… what Lea said is something he wouldn’t like to hear again.
“S-sor”
About to apologize, he heard Brylle sternly speaks with her.
“Do not ever talk about that bastard again”
