Chapter 226 - Ch. 226 Kaylee And Black Moon
Kaylee was still living in Spain for a few days, accompanying Roxy shopping and sightseeing in Barcelona. Roxy was excited that her bond with her sister had improved, but she didn't let go of her sister's purse, knowing that their father would never freeze her sister's card.
Kaylee didn't mind either and handed all the money to Roxy until one day...
"Kaylee, give me your card," ordered Uncle Pierre suddenly.
"Eh? But… Roxy…" Roxy held her card.
"I know. Tonight when you guys come home from playing, give me your card. That girl once got a card; she wouldn't stop using it. Did she deliberately want to bankrupt her father?"
Kaylee chuckled amusedly at her uncle's nagging. "Uncle, you know it will take hundred years for Roxy to make papa go broke."
"You're in on it too."
"Eh?"
"You, as well as your mother, pamper your sister too much. Look at her now. She has no discipline."
Kaylee scratched her non-itchy neck awkwardly because she didn't know what to say.
"That's enough. Go first. If there's anything, let me know that instant."
Kaylee nodded in understanding before walking out and getting the news that Roxy had left first.
"Your sister said not to wait for her to come home because she will be home very late."
As she expected. Even though Roxy loved her very much, her sister preferred to spend time with her friends over her.
In the end, Kaylee strolled around the hospital for hours until she entered a particular surveillance room area. There she saw a man lying on a respirator.
Kaylee was curious, and without realizing it, her feet moved closer until she arrived in front of the man's room. She sensed that there was something different about the man. She felt certain that the person was not a local, but she felt attracted to the man for some reason.
"Pst, what are you doing here?" one of her uncle's doctor's assistants greeted her in a whisper-like voice.
Even though her voice was low, Kaylee felt sure that the people in the room could hear him if he woke up. After all, the atmosphere in the hospital was relatively quiet because no one was making loud noises.
"Who is he?" without answering the doctor's question, Kaylee was more interested in finding out about the man.
"I have no ideas. A truck driver accidentally hit his car, and he was brought here immediately. He was lucky enough that his life was saved. I heard he lost a lot of blood, and he will die if he gets here five minutes late."
"So, you don't know his name?"
"Nope. He did not carry a wallet nor phone at all. We even couldn't find his identification card. Well, he's a tourist, that's for sure."
Kaylee once again looked at the mysterious man and, somehow, her heartfelt sympathy for the man.
"Is he going to wake up?"
"Well, I doubt that. No one talks to him, and he had no family here to pray for his recovery. How about you talking to him?"
"Me?"
"Instead of you wandering around this place and getting lost, it might be better for you to talk to him."
"Getting lost? Am I still a kid?"
"Aren't you?"
"…"
"I still have work to do. Don't go anywhere and stay here, okay? I'm pretty sure Doctor Zouch will finish in a couple of hours."
Kaylee sighed resignedly to hear that. She had lived here for a few days, but the people around her uncle still treated her like a child.
What else can she do? She was indeed direction-blind, and the hospital was huge despite being on the outskirts of the city.
Sometimes she got lost walking alone and preferred to go to the first floor or wait in her uncle's office.
Kaylee was eager to go back home, but she didn't want to bother her uncle by asking him to drive her home.
All the money she had was in Roxy's hand, and right now, she had only a few euros in her coat pocket.
In the end, Kaylee decided to go along with her uncle's assistant's suggestion and talk to the unconscious lonely man.
She walked into the room and approached the man. This man wAs very handsome with a firm jaw and perfected sharp eyebrows.
His hair was also thick with ink-like black.
Unknowingly one hand moved to feel the smoothness of the man's hair, and her heart instantly tingled when her skin touched the ends of the man's hair.
"It's so black. Your hair is just like mine. It's pitch black." and also very soft—Added Kaylee in her heart.
But… she still preferred the dark red hair of that guy…
Instantly her eyes became sad thinking about that person. Even at this moment, she was comparing a stranger to that young man.
Kaylee shook her head to get rid of the figure of the young man who had filled her heart. She looked out the window and saw the night sky filled with stars.
Her lips curved into a smile when she realized a bright full moon there seemed to guide the stars to dance up there.
"Look, today is the full moon." Instantly she had the bright idea of ??seeing the full moon on this night. "Black Moon. I think that name suits you. I will call you Black Moon from now on."
Wait. What if this man heard it and didn't like the name? Would he be mad at her?
"Don't blame me, okay? I gave it to you because I don't know your real name. You can tell me your real name when you wake up, and I'll tell you mine. For now, let me call you Black Moon, okay?"
Kaylee pulled up a chair to sit next to the man.
"Do you mind if I hold your hand?" Kaylee directed her hand on the man anyway, knowing he wouldn't answer. "Your hand is so big and warm. I wonder if these hands have protected someone." like that person.
Again… she thought of that young man.
