Chapter 27 - Stay With Me(2)

Dale snapped out from his thought as he feel someone tapping his shoulder. Dale looked up and saw Miss Lily was smiling to him while giving a signal to ordered him to lay down on the white bed. Dale just followed it and lay down.

After that, Miss Lily checked Dale's body temperature with the thermometer.

"Hermm.. His body temperature is 39°C... He's having a fever."

Dee looked at Dale who was looking at Miss Lily before he looked at Dee again. He is really sick, but how can he still managed to walk that properly when his body temperature is 39°C??

Miss Lily then injected the IV fluids to Dale's vein to make sure that he didn't dehydrated.

"I will take the medicine... You have to stay here with him for a moment," said Miss Lily, smiling toward them and walked away to get the medicine.

Dee looked at Dale after Miss Lily was gone. "39°C...Are you kidding me?? That was really high.. Why didn't you go to here in the first place??"

Dale looked at Dee but didn't say anything. He know Dee was angry toward him but he don't want to say anything. In the end, Dee will be the one who win anyway. 39°C?? That was normal for him. He even get 43°C before and he still can resisted it.

"Are you listening to me??" asked Dee after she got no responded from this man. He looked gazing off to the white ceiling without even listening to her. This man!! Why did I help him in the first place??

"39°C is just a normal temperature for me.. I even got higher temperature before so only 39°C was not that dangerous for me," said Dale calmly while his left hand putted under his head while the other hand was still holding Dee's hand. Seems like the girl was already forgot that he held her hand, if she was still realised it, she will still nagged about it. So, there is nothing to worry about anymore.

Upon hearing Dale's word, Dee landed a hard slapped toward Dale's chest.

Slap!

Dale was so shocked when Dee slapped him and he caressed his chest with a frowned face. Ouch, that was so hurt! "What is wrong with you? Why did you slapped me?"

"That is for you because you were joking around. Did you think that this was a game? Your temperature is too high! If we didn't treat it.. You will surely dying!" said Dee with an angry face. She was so sure that the slap was very hurt but she didn't mind to apologise. Who said that she was joking around??

"I'm not joking around too.... This is normal for me... After a few days, I will get better again," said Dale, closing his eyes.

Dee gritted her teeth. This man really didn't care about his health at all. He said that 39°C was normal?? The hell with that reason! 39°C was really not normal.... And how could he just act calmly about this???

Dee quickly pull Dale's hand where the other hand was holding her hand. "Don't pretend to sleep, Dale. I've being serious here!! How could you be so calm about this!! You are sick!!" said Dee, angry and if she didn't hold it back, she might already shouting to Dale right now.

Dale opened his eyes again and looked at Dee. This time, the looked on his eyes was deep and that look was somehow make the anxious in Dee's heart vanished.

Dale use his two hands to hold Dee's hands. "Listen, girl.... I am a vampire hunter... Going through this a thousand times again was a normal. This is not the first time I've been through these but this is definitely not the last one. If you just want to nagged around for the whole day, I don't care... I just don't want you to be worried about me. I'll be fine, just a little rest will do."

Upon hearing Dale's word, Dee become speechless. So, he went through this all before... Alone??!! There is no one who were willing to take care of him??

" Did... Did you.... Did you through all this problem alone?? All by yourself?" asked Dee.

Dale sighed a bit before he lying down on the white bed again with the other hand lay under his head. "I can take care of myself. Besides, I'm already familiar to this situation so I know what to do." After that, Dale closing his eyes. It was obvious that he want to get rest.

Dee looked at Dale when the man was sleeping. She feels sympathy for him. He have nine brothers but none of them was looking after him. How could they just let Dale like this?? If this were continued, he will get in a great danger.

Slowly, she tightened the grip in Dale's hand. She swear from the bottom of her heart, she will be the one who take care of him. Well, it depend on Dale though... If he want her to take care of him...

On the other side, Dale who was still awake but just closing his eyes, realised the tightened grip in his hand. A small smile appeared on his lips but then vanished in just a second, didn't want Dee to saw it.

A few second later, Miss Lily come back with a tray full of medicines. She saw that Dale was already sleeping on the white bed while Dee was seat on the chair, holding his hand.

Miss Lily smile politely before she walked to the other side of the bed. Dee looked at Miss Lily when she saw someone was coming.

Miss Lily smiled to Dee as she put down the tray on the table. "Alright, sir... Let's eat the medicine first."

Dale opened his eyes when he heard Miss Lily's voice.

Miss Lily put three kind of pills onto her hand. She looked at Dee and said, "Would you help me pour the water into the cup??"

Dee looked to the small and tall table behind her and then she nodded. When she want to opened the bottle, Dee realised that Dale's hand is still holding her hand. Dee tried to released her hand from Dale's hand but that man didn't let Dee do so.

Only when Dee glaring sharply to Dale, letting Dale to let her hand go. After Dale released her hand, Dee then poured the water into the cup and give it to Dale.

Dee sit on the chair again while watching Dale to eat his medicine.

Dale's forehead frowned hardly as he tried to swallowed the medicine. It was bitter, like how it always tasted. But he need to eat it. Besides, there would be someone who will forced him to eat the medicine anyway.

Dee take the cup from Dale's hand and put it on the small table again.

After Dale take a comfortable position on the white bed again, he turned his gaze toward Dee.

"What??" asked Dee clueless.

Dale showed his left hand to Dee.

Seeing the man showed his hand, Miss Lily quickly understand as she was chuckled a little before she walked away with the medicine tray on her hand. "You two are really cute... Well, I leave you two here alone to have some time together. Just don't do anything recklessly. This man still need to rest."

Upon hearing the nurse's word making Dee blushing really hard. She can feel her cheeks was hot and its already spreading to her ears. She couldn't even see Dale from eye to eye. She was so embarrassed.

"How long did you want me to wait for it??" asked Dale, didn't care the teasing tone from Miss Lily. He only looked at Dee who was now lost in her own thoughts.

"Huh??" Dee turned her gaze toward Dale but as soon as she saw the weird smiled on Dale's face, she become annoyed.

"Stop being childish!!" said Dee.

"I'm not... You are the one who being childish! Come on, give me your hand!!" said Dale again.

What?? I'm childish!!?? Hello, I'm not, okeyyy?!!

"What for??"

"Just give me your hand!!"

Dee shake her head. "NO!!"

"That is not a request."

That is not a request....!? So what?? Is it an order then?? You have no rights to ordered me like that!!! Don't ordered me like how you want!!! Jerk!!!

Dee keep continued to curse Dale in her heart.

"You can keep cursing me but just give your hand."Dale know the girl beside him was really angry and annoyed by just looking at her sulked face but he didn't care.

Seeing Dale's determined face, Dee know she couldn't escaped anymore. So, with a heavy breath, she put her hand into Dale's hand. Within a second, a smile seems to appeared on Dale's lips.

Dee saw it and somehow, the smile managed to stick to her heart, making her heart beating increased rapidly. She froze at where she sit, watching carefully the man beside her.

As soon as Dee's hand was in his hand, Dale closed his eyes. The warmth just from her hand can make his heart calm and able to make him sleep in peace. Within a minute, Dale was already sleeping.

Before this, he couldn't even sleep because of some unknown reason. He tried many ways to sleep but he can't. There is a time where he couldn't slept for almost five days and that make Dale really miserable.

His mother was the one who was always accompany him to slept but since his mother has died because a vampire killed her, Dale couldn't slept soundly after that. It seems like he missed the warmth from a person called a mother.

But then, he met with this girl.

The girl who has the same warmth as his mother.

Its really warm... Like mother... But this is another definition of warm... And I love it. How I miss this feeling for a long time ago.

And I know this from the very first touch.

She is my angel...

I hope we can stay like this forever.

Dee shocked a bit when she realised that Dale was already sleeping. Maybe the effect medicine was too strong and that make him sleep so fast. Ah, well, it is better for him to sleep now. I should go, I have another work to do.

But when she want to stand up, there is a tiny feeling from the bottom of her heart that restrained her from leaving the place.

Then, she decided.

"I will stay until he's awake."
