Chapter 333 - [Bonus ] 331: Trying To Relieve Her Stress
For the whole afternoon, Eunji was very busy on her computer while Nathan was looking at her on the sideline.
He was always to the rescue whenever Eunji would look like she was being uncomfortable.
He literally played the role of being a support system for her.
Eunji was still reviving Alora's program. She had programmed Alora to self-destruct when it was trapped in a very dangerous situation.
It took Eunji a week to finish Alora's program and now she was pushing herself to finish this overnight.
On top of that, she was also trying to hack the computer which hurt Alora.
It could not be denied that this person was stronger than her.
.She knew she won't be able to earn great result if she would do two things at the same time.
Well, she could if she had enough time, but she didn't.
Ana's life was in a very dangerous position.
As soon as she woke up, the drug would spread faster all through out her entire body.
Ana would be like a newly flipped hour glass when she woke up as far as the starting time the damage it would cause on her brain nerves was concerned.
So, she was really in a very difficult position at the moment.
She was torn in between whom to save first.
When she was done with the first phase on Alora's recovery, Eunji shifted her full attention to hacking.
She was right. This person on the other line was reinforcing the firewall that Alora was able to bypass earlier.
He was also trying to hack Eunji's computer.
She was hoping to read Ana's record so she would have an idea about her condition when she woke up.
Meanwhile, while she was busy fighting virtually, Ana who was lying unconscious on the bed saw herself slowly sinking in a deep body of water.
She could her voices in her ears but because of her
They were faint and she could not understand what the voices were telling her.
The water was making the voices being muffled and she could not hear them much.
On top of those voices, she could hear a familiar voice.
It's not hers. She knew how she sounded. Wait, did she really know how? But why she could not remember her own voice.
What's going on?
Ana's eyes opened and seeing that she was submerged in a body of water, slowly sinking at the bottom, she immediately tried her best to swim up.
But she could not. Her hands felt so heavy as if a huge load was being tied unto each of them.
When she looked at them, she saw that there were dilapidated stone tablets being tied into them.
When she read the names, on her left was Evelina while on her right was Nathaniel.
Their names were really familiar but she couldn't remember where she had heard or did she even encountered those people.
Also, she could not even recall her own name.
But before she could even think about that, she had to get out of the water first before she completely sunk in the bottom.
Ana had decided to use her mouth to untie the rope and remove those stones off her arms so she could swim to the surface.
She started removing the stone tablet with Nathan's name. It took her quite a little while to untie the rope.
And when she successfully did, she felt conflicted and a little hurt while looking at the stone tablet. But she had decided to let it go. She had to. Or else she'd drown.
However, the amount of pain that she felt when she let go of Nathan's was greater than the pain that she felt when she was holding Eunji's.
She just could not let it go.
So she had decided to bring it with her as she tried her best to swim up to the surface.
Ana found herself laying in the bed and not in the water when she woke up. She had no memories in her head except for the name Evelina.
Seconds after she woke up, a man in white coat rushed to her side to check on her.
He was the doctor who was hired to watch over her.
Ana looked at the doctor in blank as she tried to answer all those questions the latter had been asking her.
However, she panicked when she realized that it was not her imagination that she could not remember anything because she really couldn't at all.
Even her own name.
So she grabbed the doctor's collar and wrapped her arms around his neck giving him a head lock.
The nurses who also came along with him panicked when they saw how aggressive Ana was to the doctor.
"Where am I?!"
"Who are you?!"
"Who am I?!"
"What's going on?!"
"Why can't I remember anything? Answer me!"
Those were the series of questions that she had uttered to the nurses.
Before she could even get answers, the doctor grabbed a loaded syringe from his coat and stabbed it into Ana's body.
It was loaded with the haloperidol that would sedate her and made her to calm down.
Ana slowly lost her strength and she felt drowsy.
She wanted to fight it but there's no way that she could.
Anna drifted to sleep again after that and the doctor was coughing and at the same time gasping for air after he freed himself from her.
He was trying to feel his neck which Ana pressed hard earlier.
Meanwhile, Eunji was still fighting with the hacker on line and now, she seemed to be winning.
How? Nathan was helping her.
Through the data she had retrieved from Alora, she found Frederick Heart's file and Michael Roland in there.
Were they the mastermind behind this?
Well, she had no other choice but to confront them head on.
Their match with the hacker on the other hand unfortunately came to a draw.
Eunji and Nathan decided to build their firewalls stronger and better so this terrible person could not invade them.
It was almost nine in the evening but Eunji was not done with what she was doing.
She shifted back to Alora's programming and tried her best to put it to fifty percent completion before morning came.
Nathan decided to go out to get some food for them.
Everyone had been looking for Eunji including their children but Mei and Celine extremely prohibited them to disturb the couple inside their rooms.
They're doing something very important after all.
The kids were already asleep when Nathan went out of the room.
Only the young adults remained in the living room as they tried to wait for Nathan's update.
Mei, Layla and Grandma Sana had retired earlier into their respective rooms because they got tired after hanging out by the beach earlier.
For Master Liu, he was meditating somewhere else.
"Niichan, how's Eunjichan?" Celine immediately asked.
Nathan didn't know how to answer that.
Eunji didn't look fine when he left the room. But he decided to say something for them to ease their worry.
"She's fine. Don't worry, I'm beside her."
"Okay. But what really happened?" She asked him again.
"Something bad happened. Ana's in danger and she's trying to recover her AI."
"That's horrible. Who could possibly such a horrible thing," Angelina asked.
"The people who wanted to court death." Nathan said coldly.
"Alright. Eunji-chan's probably hungry. Angie had already prepared food for the both of you. We had placed it in the food warmer just in case."
"Thank you." Nathan expressed his gratitude.
Nathan went back to their room with a tray of food in his hand.
"I'm not hungry." Eunji immediately said upon seeing the tray of food on his hand.
"Wifey. They're very worried about you outside. They have even prepared this food for us to eat. And is this how you're going to respond to their kindness?" Nathan asked her.
"Don't worry. I'll feed them to you just like this afternoon. You can pay attention to your work. Let me do my job to feed you." He added.
Eunji pouted as she knew Nathan hit the spot.
She was being blessed to have people who were looking after for her sake and she had the audacity to do this to them?
This was so unlikely of her.
"I'm sorry. I'm just..." but she could not find the words to describe what she felt at the moment.
She wanted to explode but she knew she could not.
She really didn't see this coming at all.
"It's fine. You don't have to explain. I understand that it's overwhelming at the moment. That's why I am here. To help you if you need shoulders to lean on, Wifey. I can be your punching bag if you wanted to. You can pour your frustrations on me."
This made Eunji feel even worse. Eunji decided to pause what she was doing and looked at Nathan.
"I'm sorry," she uttered for the nth time of the day.
"It's fine." Nathan warmly smiled.
"Give that to me. I'll eat them." She said.
Nathan gladly did and Eunji started eating everything like someone was after behind her back.
"Woho! Slow down. No one's chasing after you, Wifey." Nathan said as he also started eating his food, too.
"I'm really starving." Eunji admitted shyly.
"I know. But you have to slow down or else you'll get indigestion." Nathan was worried about that.
"I'm good. Don't worry." Eunji reassured.
Nathan could only watch at his wife rummaging the food in one go.
Eunji then placed down the empty plate back to the tray.
Then she gulped the glass of water in one go.
"Done." She told Nathan.
"Good."
With a full stomach, Eunji went back to what she was doing.
Nathan watched Eunji very busy doing her thing. She was really pushing herself to the limit.
She didn't even stop when she felt a little dizzy and having cold sweats.
And Nathan was to the rescue.
"Stop!" Nathan urged her to stop.
"I'm not yet done." Eunji stubbornly insisted.
Nathan had no other choice but to do something to make her stop.
Nathan closed her laptop and kissed her hard.
Eunji pushed him away from her as hard as she could.
Nathan was shocked of Eunji's strength.
Eunji was panting while trying to catch her breath.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
Nathan knew that Eunji needed to release all the stress that she was feeling for her to get better.
So if Eunji would want to beat him up just to release all of that, he's willing to play the role.
"Why did you push me? I was only trying to help you." Nathan said.
"Damn it! Do you know what you have done? You're not helping at all!" Eunji said.
Nathan knew that it's time to add fuel to the fire.
"Not helping? Are you even listening to yourself? I'm doing my very best to help you! To make you feel comfortable while you're in your battle. I tried to be as supportive as I could to you. And this is what I get? Is caring for your health not helping you at all?" Nathan was starting to get frustrated to.
"You're prioritizing a thing that didn't even exist in real life over your health?!"
"Alora is very important to me!" She refuted.
"Is it even important than your health? Is it even more important than your own husband? Than your own children who had gone to sleep without even seeing you since this morning?" Nathan heaved a sigh as he continued.
"If you'll get sick, do you think it'll help everyone? No!"
Nathan didn't care if he made sense or not to her.
"What?" Eunji was taken aback by Nathan's words.
Of course her family is more important.
But Alora had been her companion. And it's important for her, too.
Before she could even react, Nathan hugged her tight and kissed her hard.
He was about to do something that would make Eunji to release her frustrations. And he would make sure that she will enjoy it.
