Chapter 109 - 109: Where Were You?
Chapter 109 - 109: Where Were You?
She suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her head. The pain escalated that she lost her balance and would eventually fell on the ground.
She cursed when she knew she would fall. She was already expecting to feel the pain but it didn't happen. She instead fell into Nathan's strong arms.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Nathan looking at him worriedly.
"Wifey, are you okay?" Nathan finally spoke with his worried tone.
"I'm fine. Let me go." Kim Eunji wanted to be cool but she was already a mess.
"And don't call me wifey if you really didn't mean it." She added which made Nathan to flinch. Kim Eunji stubbornly wiped her tears from her face but the more she wiped them, the more she cried.
She could feel Nathan's grip on her loosened and she took advantage of that to get out from his hold.
"I'm sorry." Nathan had just realized that letting himself be in a daze earlier would hurt her so much.
He wanted to beat himself up for making her cry. For causing her pain.
"Don't worry, I'll call my lawyer to settle the divorce immediately." Kim Eunji suddenly said in her weak voice but it still made Nathan's eyes to widen in fear and shock.
He was about to approach her but Kim Eunji waved her hand in front of him making him to stop. Kim Eunji even staggered as she backed away from him.
She used her car for support as she's afraid she would really dell down this time. She was sure that another emotional blow would be the end of her day.
'Oh no! Nathan what have you done?' He scolded himself as he saw her struggling.
'Don't hurt her Nathan or else she would suffer another breakdown. You came into her life when she's still vulnerable. Remember to cherish her Nathan and don't hurt her.' Those were the parting words that Mike Roland had left to him before he left the latter's hotel suite.
"Divorce?! No! There's no way I'm letting you go!" He said loud and clear which was enough for everyone to hear. His tone was pure of conviction.
The spectators gasped when they realized who this man was to Kim Eunji. Her husband! No wonder...No wonder she would ignore Ling Bao's advances towards her.
It turned out that her man was beyond more handsome than Ling Bao. And his build, he had a body of a god.
But then they gasped when they saw a clear view of his face. Wait! Isn't he...Nathaniel Bai of Bai Corp and Net International? The main investor of this drama?
Director Li who was furious for the interruption walked towards the area but was stunned when he saw the Satan in the business world. But when he saw how Nathan interacted with the student Kim, his interest picked. He even asked the camera man to secretly film them.
The two were showing genuine and pure emotions, who would not be tempted to film that? He wanted that to be an inspiration for his next drama.
Oblivious that their little confrontation had already caught the attention of quite a number of students, Kim Eunji looked at Nathan fiercely.
"Then...where were you Nathan? Where were you these days?! You didn't even message me. You were so busy that you even forget about me! You forget that you have a wife who longed for your presence. I get it! I'm not the clingy one between us! I'm not the sweet one! But do I deserve that? Do I deserve receiving such cold treatment from you without me even knowing the reason why?" Kim Eunji said as she could feel like she's out of breath.
Nathan could only bow down his head guiltily. He knew he was guilty. He didn't mean to ignore her. But still he knew he was at fault. He could only clinched his palm into a tight fist and looked at his wife.
Kim Eunji closed her eyes to calm down a bit and when she did, she continued, "I am so ready and is about to flip the world just to find you. I'm scared. I got a dream and you're dead and something and-"
Seeing his wife having an emotional breakdown, he regained his composure and rushed towards her and gave her a hug. Kim Eunji protested by punching his chest but he ignored it and everyone's gazes and cupped her face and claimed her lips while he held her tightly inside his embrace.
Marco worriedly looked at his master boss who had a pale complexion. He could see that Nathan was in pain. He wanted to scold Kim Eunji but he knew he had no rights to do so.
Nathan had no other way to tame the tiger but by doing this.
Everyone's heart melted when they witnessed this touching scene. Both of them were in love. Men would mostly be irritated when facing their emotional partners and would yell and walked away. But Nathan, he was different. He had the patience to coax her when she's near hysterical.
Kim Eunji cried even more when she felt Nathan's soft lips on her lips. She knew that it was her who brought up the topic of divorce but the thought alone felt like millions of knives were stabbing her heart.
It's suffocating and consuming every ounce of her energy that's left on her.
Nathan's heart ached when she did not respond on his kiss. He bit her lower lip hard that he could taste the ironic taste of her blood.
Kim Eunji managed to free herself from his hug and slapped him hard on the face. Everyone were stunned when they witnessed this. The slap was too loud and too much that Nathan could taste blood in his mouth.
But he knew he deserved this. He deserved this slap especially coming from her. His wife whom he had hurt unintentionally.
Kim Eunji felt guilty when she saw how red Nathan's face was. But Nathan only smiled at her and said, "It's okay wifey. You can hit me. Remember when I said I am at your disposal? It's okay. I deserve this. But please stop crying. It pained me to see you like this. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, okay?" Nathan slowly approached her and hugged her.
This time, Kim Eunji did not protest and let him. Nathan sighed as he placed her head on her shoulder and kissed the top of her head and slowly swayed their bodies together.
Nathan frowned when he felt her suddenly become restless in his embrace.
"Wifey, are you okay?" He worriedly asked her however she did not utter a single word and just looked at him.
Kim Eunji's face turned pale and big beads of cold sweats covered her face.
Then all of a sudden Nathan's panic yell echoed.
"Eunji! Wake up!" He shook her body and tapped her face but Kim Eunji did not wake up.
Nathan immediately carried Kim Eunji bridal style and asked Iris on where's the infirmary.
But Iris told him that it was quite far from where they were that walking going there would be not a good idea. Nathan agreed and asked the her to open the backseat of his Maybach since he was carrying Kim Eunji.
Once the door was opened, Nathan gently placed Kim Eunji on the backseat of his Maybach and supported her head while he also entered on the same door.
Iris got inside the passenger seat as well with Marco sitting on the driver's seat who could only sigh in helplessness.
"Drive!" Nathan commanded Marco who sighed and did what he was told.
The students who were unaware of what was going on were stunned when they saw a black Maybach suddenly parked near the infirmary.
Marco immediately got out of the car and carried Kim Eunji in his arms not minding the shocked expression on the faces of the students who happened to hang out with their friends as they had a good time.
"Call the physician-in-charge! My wife needs help!" Nathan yelled on the two nurse who were posted on the reception. The poor nurse almost immediately ran inside to call for the physician leaving the her colleague behind.
Imperial University's infirmary was not an ordinary infirmary. After all, the students studying in there were mostly from the rich families. It could be said that the facilities inside were like those found in a descent hospital.
Nathan's aura was terrifying to say the least. It was like he was about to kill someone.
The other nurse lead him into the emergency section and asked him to place Kim Eunji on the bed but Nathan however sat down and decided to sit down on the bed with Kim Eunji cradled in his arms.
The poor nurse could only leave them alone.
"Wifey...wake up, okay? I promise...I would stick to your side always like a koala if my absence made you to worry so much." Nathan took his handkerchief and wiped the sweat that had now covered her face.
Iris also came forward and helped the still unconscious Kim Eunji in removing her boots.
Iris was surprised to see the daggers that Kim Eunji had inserted earlier inside her boots but that surprise look faded immediately.
There's no room for being surprise now. J had already oriented her on what type of person Kim Eunji was. She knew about her being a part of an organization in the Underworld but she didn't know what was her role there.
Seeing the daggers inside her boots, she knew that Kim Eunji was a lethal killer.
"What are you doing?!" Nathan asked her when he felt Iris's hand roaming on top of Kim Eunji's leather jacket.
"I think you should take off her jacket Master Boss before the doctor and his assistant come. Or they might discover the weapons that Lady Boss was hiding inside her pocket and jacket." Iris did not explain any further to him.
Nathan understood what she meant therefore he immediately unzipped the zipper of her leather jacket and saw what Iris was talking about.
Iris hurriedly removed the kunais and the other deadly weapons as fast as she could and inserted them on the boots.
Nathan successfully removed the jacket by the time the doctor and his assistant arrived. Iris immediately kept the jacket and boots away as she rushed out of the infirmary and went somewhere.
While inside the infirmary, the tension was suffocating.
Nathan refused the doctor's initiative to treat his wife. Why? Simply because he's a young male doctor.
Good thing his assistant was a woman so it was her who was tending the still unconscious Kim Eunji while the male doctor was treating him on a separate room. Right, the doctor was cleaning his surgical wound which one stitch opened because of her punches earlier.
"Your surgical wound is pretty fresh. Did you make yourself to be prematurely discharged from the hospital and rushed here? Look at you, you look terrible. How can you take good care of her when you're sick yourself." The doctor started his lecture.
However Nathan immediately got irritated because of this.
"It's not your damn business on how I will take care of my wife. Just do your f*ckin job!" However, instead of getting angry or pissed because of what he said, the doctor only smiled at him and said, "Good. I think you're okay as you could still manage to snap at me rather than passing out."
The Doctor whose name plate showed Dai as his name said, "Don't worry. I know what you feel. I also felt helpless every time my wife got sick especially when she would stubbornly deny my help. I think it's pretty common for us wife-doting husbands to be like this."
What he had said somehow caught Nathan's attention.
"Don't worry, my wife's an excellent doctor. She'll take good care of her. Also, your wife's quite famous here that I'm sure she has some friends who would be willing to take care of her while you're resting here." Dr. Dai said as he tried to reassure him.
"I don't need them to take care of her. I can take care of her even if I'm like this." Nathan stubbornly retorted.
"But still, I'll advice you to take a rest if you don't want her to be worried even more." Doctor Dai said as he finally done dressing his wound.
"I could say, you're lucky that you didn't die with that wound of yours. It's only an inch away from where your heart is and it even got out on your back based on the wound you got there."
"No. The bastard that caused me this was the one whom we should call as lucky. He's lucky to be still alive despite the fact that he had almost got me killed." Nathan simply said.
"Oh, interesting." Dr. Dai could only remarked.
Before they could even start another topic the curtain was slid open and Dr. Dai came in.
Nathan immediately stood up and rushed towards her.
"Woah! Easy Mr. Bai or else I would accuse you of having a crush on my wife!" Dr. Dai teased.
Before he could even say some more, Dr. Dai, his wife immediately pinched the tip of his ears making the latter to flinch in pain.
"Idiot. Will you stop making your patient think that you're an idiot?" Dr. Dai scolded him.
"How's my wife?" Nathan immediately asked her.
The doctor pursed her lips and looked at the handsome man in front of her.
Though he looked pale, he still looked like a god. However, in her eyes, no man was more handsome than her man.
She sighed and opened her mouth to speak.
"Well, your wife..."
