Chapter 110 - 110: Remember
After talking to Dr. Dai, Nathan left the Dai couple alone and decided to go to his wife's room. (Didn't I tell you their infirmary had more privacy?)
Nathan opened it and he felt a lump on his throat when he saw her peacefully sleeping on the white bed.
He studied her features and saw that she had lose some weight.
"Eunji." He whispered her name as if the latter would open her eyes if she heard him call her.
Nathan recalled what Dr. Dai told him earlier.
"Your wife, she's resting on the other room. She didn't woke up while I was checking her. Based on the physical exam that your wife had submitted to us, aside from the allergy that she had with specific food ingredients, she's completely normal. However, because she had an accident recently and had amnesia, there's a possibility that her memories might have been returning that's why she had this episodes of head aches which is completely normal." Dr. Dai explained.
Nathan held her left hand and squeezed it gently. Hoping that by doing so, she would feel his love and affection for her.
The bed was quite spacious for two people to lay down. However, seeing that his wife was sleeping peacefully, he could not dare to sit down there as he's afraid that he might woke her up.
He got the chair and decided to sit there as he looked at her. He still felt guilty for what happened to her. But he knew blaming himself won't change a thing.
Nathan sat there like a statue. He almost did not blink as he was afraid that he would miss a thing.
He wanted to hug her but decided not to as he knew he didn't deserve it yet. He hadn't earn her forgiveness yet.
***
Kim Eunji groaned when she regained her consciousness especially when she felt someone was hugging behind her.
She immediately opened her eyes and tried to look at the man hugging her. However his hold on her was so strong that she struggled to move a bit.
After a few attempts of removing himself, she had successfully managed to remove herself from the hug. She moved and had successfully managed to look at him.
She was stunned when she saw who it was.
"Mr. Bai?" She mumbled. 'What is he doing here?' She continued in her thoughts.
She stared for a moment at him and thought he was indeed handsome. But her thoughts were then interrupted when she realized where she was.
The place looked like a hospital. She then looked at the IV drip attached to her right hand and hastily pulled it out not minding the blood coming from where the needle had pierced through her skin.
She immediately got up of the bed and rushed towards the door not minding that she was barefooted.
When she got out, she was greeted by Dr. Dai (the female Dr.) who was shocked to see her.
"Oh Miss Kim. Are you feeling better?" She asked.
But instead of answering her, Kim Eunji asked her back.
"What day is today? Where am I? What happened to me. Why is Mr. Bai hugging me?" Kim Eunji asked her a series of question.
"Today is Thursday, September 12. You're in Imperial University. You're a student here. And Mr. Bai, he's the one who brought you here. And he said he's your husband." Dr. Dai explained which made Kim Eunji to be shocked and surprised.
The last time she recalled, was the night when they were having a serious talk whether she should agree to date him or not.
Then Kim Eunji looked at the two beautiful ring in her fingers and she suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her head.
"Are you okay?" Dr. Dai worriedly asked her.
"I'm fine." But her action showed the opposite.
Memories that she had forgotten for the past year flooded in her head. Then she recalled what happened that night, she hurt him, his hand. Then she got into an accident. She recalled how Nathan had taken good care of her while she lost her memories. Their first kiss underneath the moonlight. His casual yet sweet proposal. The day when they got their marriage certificates together. And lastly, the night when they had finally consummated their marriage.
She held her head and immediately ran out of the place.
She felt the need to clear her head. She needed to be alone. She wanted to be alone.
Kim Eunji ran with no direction in mind. It was almost dusk when she went out of the infirmary.
The students were stunned to see her running around barefooted. She didn't even flinch when a piece of broken glass pierced into the sole of her foot.
Kim Eunji found herself inside one of the cubicle on the ladies bathroom. She was in fetal position. She hugged her knees closer to her body as she tried to comfort herself.
***
Nathan found herself waking up on an empty bed. And when he realized that, he immediately got up and walked out of the room.
"Where is she?" Nathan asked the nurse in the reception.
"She left thirty minutes ago. She didn't even care that she was barefooted when she dashed out of the infirmary like she felt disgusted in this place."
"Where did she go?" Nathan asked her with a terrifying aura which made the nurse to gulp in fear.
"Please don't scare our poor nurse here. She went that way." Dr. Dai saved the nurse from pissing on her pants because of fear.
Nathan did not look back and hurriedly walked out of the infirmary where he met Marco who had just got back from Bai Corp to settle some things in Nathan's behalf.
"Master Boss!" He greeted.
"Where were you?" Nathan asked him.
"From Bai Corp., Master Boss." Marco Peterson said.
"Call the others. Eunji's missing!" Nathan said as he briskly walked towards the direction where Dr. Dai had pointed.
Marco obeyed and called Derek, Darren and Iris, including the male guards that Nathan had brought with them to provide extra security for Nathan.
It was Iris who found Kim Eunji in the ladies room since a lot of students saw her entering there.
Iris had to answer J's call to report. After all, J was her superior.
"She's inside." Iris did not wait for Nathan to ask her.
"I tried to convince her to come out but she locked herself inside the cubicle. She said she wanted to be alone." Iris explained.
"Why don't you call the property custodian and ask for the keys?" Nathan asked her.
"Master boss, the lock in the cubicle needed no key as it could only be locked and unlocked on the inside." Iris explained.
"Then break it. I'll compensate for the damages." Nathan said in his straight face.
Nathan decided to get inside the ladies room ignoring the stares from the female students using the bathroom.
"Out!" Nathan yelled that scared the hell out of them. The students immediately ran out for their lives.
Nathan then saw the only locked cubicle and softly knocked on the door.
**knock**
"Love. Please don't scare me like this. Let's talk okay? I love you. Please...let me explain."
However, when Nathan saw the blood foot prints on the floor, Nathan felt terrified and didn't care anymore. He kicked the door to open it.
After two kicks, the door abruptly opened revealing Kim Eunji on the same fetal position.
Nathan did not say anything and decided to carry her out of the cubicle.
"Stop hurting yourself please. It hurts me. I know I told you that you can hurt me but not at your expense." Nathan could not hold back anymore.
He was expecting for her to yell at him. To punch him or pierce him with her needle. To punish him. But no! She was ignoring him. Which was the worst punishment ever.
"Stay away from me! Put me down!" Kim Eunji struggled on his arms.
"Behave or I might not be able to carry you properly and you might fell on the ground." He warned.
"I can walk on my own. Put me down!" Kim Eunji was stubborn now. Why would he do this in front if a lot of people? It was embarrassing for her.
"Yes you have both feet but one was injured. How can you walk properly? We need to disinfect it to prevent getting infected." Nathan patiently said.
Matching her stubbornness with his won't do any help at all. It would only get worse.
Iris applied pressure on her wound by pressing her handkerchief on it while Nathan was carrying her bridal style.
When they arrived at the infirmary, both Doctor Dai were waiting for them at the entrance.
"Please treat her wound." Nathan said as he placed her on the bed.
Nathan decided to watch the entire process on the sideline. Kim Eunji was clearly not in the mood to talk to him.
It hurts him yes. But if she needed more time for whatever reason she had, he's willing to give that to her.
Guo Xiaolan and company together with Alice came inside to bring food for Kim Eunji. She had eaten a little on breakfast and had skipped lunch, there's no way they would let her skip dinner, too.
As expected, the group were stunned to see a very handsome man standing on the wall near the entrance.
"Master Johnson? What are you doing here?" Alice asked in surprise. "Master Bai!" Marie greeted him with respect as well.
However, the man did not answer Alice but kept on looking at Kim Eunji who didn't even flinch when Dr. Dai poured alcohol on her fresh wound.
Alice's eyes brightened in delight when she put the puzzles together.
"Woah! Amazing!" Alice exclaimed as she clapped her hands together in excitement.
Guo Xiaolan, Yun Mei, Wen Zhen and Fu Rong looked at her with puzzled expression on their faces. But never dared to ask because of Nathan's intimidating aura.
Iris came out from the lavatory as she washed her hands which were stained by Kim Eunji's blood earlier.
"Everyone? What are you doing here?" Alice asked but she got the answer when she saw the tray of food on Guo Xiaolan's hand.
"Please place the tray here." Iris said as she walked towards the table near the hospital bed.
Guo Xiaolan obeyed and did what she was told.
"What happened to her? I thought she was admitted here because she passed out but now, why did she have a big cut on her feet this time?" Guo Xiaolan could not help not to ask Iris.
"Don't worry guys, I'm fine." Kim Eunji spoke as she heard her.
Nathan could not hide his disappointment when Kim Eunji chose to talk to them and decided to ignore him earlier. Therefore, his aura became gloomy.
"Stop scaring them will you? Or I won't talk to you ever!" Kim Eunji threatened him.
Instead of getting angry, Nathan heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at her instead.
Who wouldn't? She talked to him this time at least. He immediately adjusted his mood to not scare the students around him.
