Ramon didn't know how long he was asleep, but the first thing he realized when he woke up was a soft murmuring sound from someone beside him. A woman's voice.
When he opened his eyes, Ramon realized that he was not in his room, this was the room inside his office, only then did he remember what had happened before and realized that Hailee was beside him.
Ramon then turned his attention to the groaning sound beside him and the wrinkles between his brows deepened when he realized that it was Hailee.
His eyes focused on Hailee's curled up body, clutching her quilt and the beads of sweat on her forehead.
"What's wrong?" Ramon leaned on his elbows and watched Hailee more closely. What happened to this girl?
"My stomach hurts…" Hailee groaned in a low voice, her eyes closed tight and she bit her lower lip to endure the pain that was hitting her hard.
"Hurt?" Ramon didn't know why her stomach hurt even though she was still fine before going to sleep.
However, Ramon didn't need the answer, because now, he already lifted Hailee's body and carried her out of the room, out of his office, down through the elevator and over to his car, which was parked not far away.
With care, Ramon fastened the seat belt for Hailee and lowered her seat so that she could feel more comfortable, only then did he walk around the car and sat in front of the wheel.
The soft roar of the engine running made Hailee open her eyes and catch the side of Ramon's face with a hardened jaw.
Hailee wondered, whether he was angry because his sleep was disturbed or because he was worried about her that he looked this tense? Even in these conditions Hailee was still curious about how this man felt about her.
"It hurts…" Hailee complained and Ramon's hand immediately patted her thigh in an attempt to lessen her pain, while driving his car out of the parking lot, although it could be said that his awkward efforts meant nothing, but at least Hailee knew that he was apparently worried about her.
Once they were on the highway, Ramon pressed the gas pedal harder and the car flew so fast, that for a second Hailee forgot about the pain in her stomach and was afraid that Ramon would hit the car in front of them.
However, it looked like the roads were quiet enough for Ramon to be at this speed, after all Ramon seemed to have fully control over his car.
This time, Hailee didn't complain because she didn't want to disturb Ramon's concentration.
Actually, Hailee knew why her stomach was hurting.
Abdominal pain.
In the past two days she hadn't eaten regularly and since yesterday she felt pain in her stomach even though it wasn't too bad, but then because Roland 'kidnapped her' and Ramon didn't have anything to eat in his study, thus Hailee had no choice but to skip both lunch and dinner.
Of course this made her condition worse.
But, apart from that there was nothing to worry about. This wasn't the first time Hailee had had this stomach pain.
It's just that, seeing Ramon looking worried like this was nice enough, it turned out that he had a warm side too and it's adorable…
==============
It didn't take long for Ramon to drive over to the hospital and Hailee was rushed into the emergency room.
Ramon had already called their family doctor and he was already there to take care of Hailee.
While Doctor Bram was checking on her, Ramon was not in the room as he went to buy a drink from the coffee machine there. His head throbbed in pain because he had to wake up in a panic to find Hailee in pain.
It was only after thirty minutes that Ramon came back and saw that Doctor Bram had finished his examination and a nurse was putting Hailee on an IV.
Ramon saw that Hailee was still in pain, even though it seemed that the pain was not as intense as before, so Ramon chose to look for Doctor Bram, to find out what was wrong with this girl.
"There is no need to worry, it's just that her stomach ache recurred, she can go home in the morning after the infusion runs out." Doctor Bram leaned back against the back of the chair and looked at Ramon. "You sounded panicked on the phone, I thought something's wrong..."
Ramon didn't remember calling Doctor Bram in a panic, but it did seem like he was a little tense because he had never once dealt with anything like this.
"Good then," Ramon said as he got up from the chair and walked to the door. If Hailee could go home in the morning, then there would be no problem.
Ramon had glanced at the clock on the doctor's desk which showed that it was two in the morning, it meant that Ramon and Hailee had only gotten less than two hours of sleep before Hailee had this attack.
"She shouldn't skip her meal and eat regularly, it seems simple, but it'll turn fatal if you let it be," Doctor Bram said, then he suggested a few things and a doctor's boring explanation, but Ramon listened to it anyway.
"Very well," said Ramon, after he was sure there was nothing more Dr. Bram would say, he opened the door and walked away.
==============
When Ramon reached Hailee's ward he saw that the girl was already asleep, it seemed the medicine was working well and she was no longer in pain, knowing that, Ramon felt a little relieved.
He then walked over to the sofa and laid there, his head ached and he seemed to see a glimpse of a face when he closed his eyes to sleep. A woman's face and himself...
A reflection of himself and the figure of a woman… who is she? Ramon thought he knew her, her face looked familiar, but her name was stuck in his throat.
So hard to say...
However, the more Ramon saw that figure, the more convinced he was that he knew this woman.
He knew her...
And a name rolled off his lips.
"Giana..."
Yes, that's the name...
However, when Ramon stretched out his hand to take a closer look at Giana's figure, a sound made him flinch and open his eyes.
"Bro, I know you love me, but you don't have to touch me like this." Lexus's face was right in front of Ramon and he frowned like a confused person. "You gave me goosebumps just then."
Only then did Ramon realize that he was touching his younger brother's face and without thinking, the touch turned into a blow.
"Bro, you are mean! I am your brother!"
