Chapter 187 - Chapter 187

(CLAIRE)

Before I awoke that morning, I had a weird dream. I knew it was weird although I couldn't remember it.

My breathing was short and heavy so I opened the doors in search for Zhio.

"Did Zhio come back last night?" I asked a maid that was just about to go inside my room.

She shook her head.

I shook mine.

"That guy must be a monster. He never rests."

"He was taken to the hospital yesterday," the maid said.

"Good for hi- What?!"

He was admitted to the hospital?  

The maid peered outside the window so I did too.

Dr. Eriez's car had just pulled into the garage. Behind it was an ambulance.

The maid hurriedly sprinted downstairs so I followed too.

Zhio was on a stretcher that was being lifted down.

"What happened to him?" I asked but nobody seemed to hear me.

He was unconscious as they transferred him to our room while I stood at the corner and watched at how pale he looked like. The pain he's in was so conspicuous that I couldn't help but feel as if it was mine.  

"I think it's better for you to stay in the other room," Sya advised me.

"We'll prepare it for you."

I wanted to refuse but Dr. Eriez agreed with her.

I spent the day at the other room while my thoughts lingered to the other. I wasn't allowed to go near him, not when I am a two-person now.

But I was sleepless, especially when I heard Zhio scream from the other room.

"He's really like that. Whenever he falls ill, he doesn't want to accept his situation. I think it's better for you to sleep…"

Sya left my room.

I forced myself but sleep avoided me.

It was nearly midnight.

Everything was quiet.

Like before, I snatched the keys from the sleeping maids and sneaked out. I tiptoed out the hallway and stared at the door to our shared room.

I hated that room before but at the moment, I wanted to barge in and see him.

I quietly unlocked the door and slowly went in.  

But despite the hushed motion I made, several nurses rose warily at my unannounced presence.

"Miss Claire…"

"Oh," I quickly thought of an alibi,

"I'm just taking something..."

I tiptoed once more towards the closet while my gaze remained at Zhio who was sleeping with laborious breathing.

I took any clothing I could get and walked back to the door as I stole more gazes of him. In a careless motion, I almost tripped on my foot.

I was nearly caught, or was caught, but wasn't exposed.

"That was close." I breathed deeply when I heard Zhio's voice.
