Before he could voice out his thoughts, Lin Huang covered his mouth with his hand.
"Shhh..." His voice was rough, his shirt was torn and burnt ones side.
The door into the secret lounge closed after Lin Huang pressed the remote control.
He slumped down onto the floor and the sky brightened too, he vomited blood as he felt his gut churning and his entire body on fire.
The temperatures were high and he was sweating profusely, Zhou Hua who was sitting in bed hurriedly got off and bent down to check on him.
"What happened to you?" His voice quivered as his hands tremble after scrutinizing at to what extent degree of his burns.
His outer skin had charred off and you could see the exposed flesh on his left side shoulder down to the arm.
"I will be fine..." He mumbled hoarsely but he only understood the kind of pain he was going through.
Zhou Hua couldn't bare it, tears fell down his cheeks, he staggered to the small first aid kit that was placed on the drawer and moved back with it.
He sat down on the floor and opened it before getting the disinfectant, but his eyes couldn't stop watering.
Lin Huang whose head was bowed raised to glance at the person who was sitting infront of him.
Using his right hand, he clasped his hand tightly, "you don't need to worry about me, you should worry about yourself first." He smiled gently at him, he appreciated his kindness but his wounds will heal in a matter of hours.
"It's okay turn around." He slowly spat those words out but they were firm.
Lin Huang stretched his left hand and wiped his tears, don't be sad.. " he turned around and let him clean the wound.
Eagle and Luo Thu were surprised when the sky brightened, waking up from their stupor, they glanced towards the door and realized it's closed.
" Oohh, Zhou Hua.. the sky has brightened up, you can come out if you want to.. " Luo Thu exclaimed out cheerfully.
" It's okay, I want to rest. " His voice was rough and hoarse like someone whose throat was lumped up.
" Are you okay Zhou Hua? " Luo Thu moved closer and inquire worriedly, he felt his voice wasn't normal as usual.
" I already said I'm fine. " He rudely dismissed him as his voice was cold and harsh.
Lin Huang held his hand that was cleaning his hand trying to calm him down.
He understood his pain, it was heartache and it was the hardest thing seeing the person you care about hurting.
"Was it wrong for me to come back here?" He mumbled absentmindedly, honestly he didn't want to agonize him.
"What? You wanted to go and hide away from me?" He got more bitter when he had those words.
"Did I say something?" He turned around to face Zhou Hua, he was feeling pain and his temperatures were up but Zhou Hua could only clean his wounds knowing he wasn't a normal human being as them.
He didn't know what else to do apart from cleaning the wound.
"Do you know how look like? A baby crying for a candy!" He sarcastically remarked trying to lighten up the mood, it was so depressing.
"So what?" He harrumped as he went on cleaning it, the cotton were stained with blood as it also trickled down on to the floor.
Lin Huang kept quiet after seeing he wasn't getting ant better, still tears flowed as he cleaned the wound.
Luo Thu and Eagle glanced at each other nervously, who was Zhou Hua talking to inside that lounge?
Luo Thu hurriedly walked towards the door to knock but Eagle was faster and before he could knock, he clasped his arm and dragged him away.
"You better stay still here.. If he needs anything, he will call for us.
In the Capital, people who had panicked calmed down after seeing everything was alrighty apart from the cracked walls.
They hurried lined up to vote, Luo Peng and Scorpion dashed into the building to check on if everything was alrighty.
Lin Fai and Ming Xie got into the van as they drove away, " did Scorpion call you? See... It's all in your head and overthinking. " Lin Fai patted her shoulders consoling.
" Mnnnhh... " She nodded her head but deep down she knew things weren't as simple as they looked like.
"Why were you this careless? Do you have to save the entire world and injure yourself?" He mumbled as he cleaned his hand.
The burn was severe and large, half side of his upper body was burnt.
"Zhou Hua, tell me; if it were you, would you watch millions of people die while you are capable of preventing it? I have to accumulate merits for myself.. if I don't do that, what if karma catches up to me? What will I substitute it with?" He explained to him seriously.
" What kind of stupid logic is that?" He pinched his right side waist.
" Ouchh.. be gentler, it's a body like yours.. " of course he was feeling pain but he had to hold in and act normal infront of him, if not.. he will be more heartbroken.
He was done cleaning before he began applying the burn ointment, but it would melt immediately, his temperatures were so high.
"Will this cream really help you?" He mumbled as he got a bandage and some cotton.
"Here take this painkillers." He passed him the drugs, would he reject them knowing they couldn't do anything for him? He swallowed them so that he will be relieved.
"Now can you calm down, once I have taken this antibiotics, I will be fine.. you don't have to worry!" His gentle voice breezed.
" What if they don't work? Your body is special.. " he retorted back, Lin Huang lifted up his eyebrows surprised.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Or it's the truth?" He narrowed his eyes dangerously, if he nodded his head, Li Huang will be down for.
"They are working my dear, I'm worried about you, you need to rest in bed before you get well." He changed the topic, he couldn't tell him upfront that he had lied to him.
"I rest once I finish wrapping this wound up." He began wrapping it gently.
Lin Huang's entire body was soaked in sweat, even though it's wet, you could tell from his face that he was enduring a severe pain.
