Doctor David glanced towards the medication counter and saw Berry carefully arranging the medicines. For someone accustomed to working in a hospital, categorizing medications would be more accessible.
Still, Berry had never worked in a hospital before. He had never received formal pharmaceutical education. So, he had to rely heavily on Google to assist him in categorizing the medications. Fortunately, the other nurses had other tasks, leaving her alone.
"Do you need any help?" offered Doctor David, causing Berry to nearly jump in surprise. He had been so engrossed in his work that He hadn't even noticed the young Doctor's presence. Hastily, Berry closed his phone screen to conceal that He had been looking at medications-related websites.
"Oh, no, Doctor. I can manage..." Berry replied nervously.
Doctor David smiled. "But you're slower than the other nurses. Instead of relying on Google, it would be better to seek assistance from your fellow professionals
Amora furrowed her brow in confusion. "Your fault? What do you mean?" Grey took a deep breath. All this time, he had kept all the burdens of the problem within his heart. Not a single word had escaped his lips. Even his unbearable anger towards Ares still lingered in Grey's heart. Grey gazed at Amora. She was a psychiatrist, an expert in the field of mental health. Psychiatrists had a greater capacity for listening to others. After weighing it for a few moments, Grey began to speak, "If we could keep this conversation off the record, Doc... I mean, sorry, I mean Amora. I think, as a psychiatrist, especially one who has been treating Keyara, you deserve to know." Amora nodded. "You can confide in me, what you share today will only stay within these walls and this day. It will not leave this place," Amora wisely assured Grey. "Keyara was raped by someone I know, more precisely, someone who had a grudge against me," Ares explained, causing Amora's eyes to widen. "Oh my God," Amora
The nurse swiftly exited Keyara's room, rushing towards the medication station. Berry happened to pass by and was puzzled by the panicked nurse."What's happening?" Berry asked curiously. He had an insatiable curiosity about everything happening in the hospital."Patient Keyara is vomiting; she has been doing it since earlier. I'm getting the anti-emetic medication," the nurse replied without looking back, hurrying to retrieve the anti-emetic. Hearing that the woman he was monitoring was deteriorating, Berry quickly followed. He arrived before the female nurse. He saw Dr. David assisting Keyara."Redith! Please bring a bucket and a cloth. Clean this up!" Dr. David quickly commanded.Berry obeyed the doctor's orders. He turned around and headed to the restroom for a bucket and cloth. As he left, the female nurse arrived with the anti-emetic medication. She then gave the syrup to the doctor.Dr. David proceeded to administer the anti-emetic medication to Keyara. Afterward, he instructed
Ares fell silent. Now he paced back and forth, unable to stay still. His drowsiness had vanished, and he was now fully awake.He could feel something building up inside him as if it were about to burst from his chest.He had not anticipated this. Of course, he had not expected this outcome. He had unleashed himself into Keyara in a rage and never once thought it would come to this.If the baby were indeed his, he would do anything to get Keyara and the child."Well then, let's speed up the plan. I'll get Keyara out of there," Ares said as he stood up."One of my men has already infiltrated your facility." Dr. David smiled, almost laughing."You mean Redith? I don't know what identity he's using, but he's a complete idiot as a nurse. I'm afraid his cover will be blown any minute now.""Yeah, that's him," Ares replied. "Is he that bad?"Dr. David smiled, unable to stop the grin from spreading. "Oh, you
"She's stable now. No need to worry, but the vomiting may continue, sir.""Why? Is my wife sick?" Grey's voice grew even more anxious.Dr. David cleared his throat for a moment. "The vomiting is likely a common bodily reaction due to her pregnancy, sir."As if thunder had struck in broad daylight, Grey widened his eyes. "What!? What did the doctor say?" Grey repeated his question to make sure he didn't mishear."Yes, I wanted to inform you that your wife is pregnant. Therefore, she will require extra care since someone with a mental disorder and pregnant usually faces twice the burden," Dr. David explained to Grey.Grey's mouth hung open; his ears hadn't deceived him. His legs felt weak momentarily, and his body swayed to the side. Fortunately, there was a wall nearby to support Grey's faltering body.Pregnant?Keyara was pregnant, a woman Grey had never even touched. It felt like all his joints were being pulled out of his body, rend
Grey repeatedly hit the steering wheel out of frustration due to the traffic congestion. It was rush hour on the road. Grey glanced at his wrist; the time showed ten-fifteen. It was understandable that he was stuck in traffic.Grey felt an overwhelming urge to explode. He wanted to curse the pedestrians crossing the street and the slow-moving vehicles. Grey was in a boiling rage, ready to explode like a rusty landmine, prepared to unleash an explosion in all directions.However, despite the traffic jam on the highway, it wasn't too severe, as, within a moment, the halted cars started to disperse and move slowly again.Nevertheless, for Grey, it was still too slow. He wished to soar like a meteor at lightning speed, but his car could only crawl on the highway.After struggling for thirty minutes on the road, Grey finally caught sight of the Zeus—corp building. The company had grown into a giant in just five years. It was a finance company with branch
After briefly talking to the secretaries on the upper floors, the receptionist girl put her phone back and then flashed her best smile. "Mr. Ares hasn't arrived at the office yet, sir."Grey furrowed his brow. Hadn't he arrived yet?Now Grey tried to think hard. If Ares wasn't in the office, he might have a meeting outside."Is Mr. Ares out of the office?" Grey asked again."I'm sorry, sir, I don't know. But if you'd like to wait, I can schedule you and inform the upper floors," the receptionist replied, maintaining her friendly demeanor.Grey sighed and nodded at the secretary, saying thank you, before turning around to walk out of the building's lobby. A security guard smiled kindly as Grey passed through the exit door.Grey walked back to the parking lot and got into his metallic blue car after finding his car parked next to a newly arrived vehicle.He let out a heavy sigh.Grey wasn't sure what to do if he met Ares and punc
Berry attempted to maintain a composed demeanor. He then flashed a "foolish" smile to deceive Doctor David. With a hand scratching his ear, Berry uttered, "Huh? I'm still not accustomed to working in a psychiatric hospital..." He displayed a broad, seemingly clueless smile. "But that doesn't mean I don't understand."Doctor David nodded and then wore a faint smile. "It's better to tell your boss, Mr. Ares, to stop his absurd plan. I'm afraid I have to disagree with his idea, as it goes against the law. Also, let Mr. Ares know that I will also try to halt the improper treatment given by Doctor Amora. I have no idea what Ares wants with that unfortunate girl, but she's already suffered enough. If Ares wants to take her, for whatever reason, I hope he ceases his actions..."Berry now looked at Doctor David with a slightly open mouth, nervously moving his hand to the back of his head. "Doctor, do you know Mr. Ares?" Berry asked anxiously."I know more than you think, whoever you truly are
Doctor Jenny immediately ran towards Doctor Amora, her face pale. "What exactly is happening?!" she asked in panic."I don't know!" exclaimed Doctor Amora. "You should follow the others too!" Amora said.Suddenly, from outside, shouts were heard. "Fire!! There's a fire!!"After the shout and a second explosion, Amora and Jenny quickly ran outside. However, among them, only one nurse turned back toward the room where Keyara was being treated. Berry knew Keyara was in her bed, not the recreation room. The girl had been in her room all day.The fire quickly spread from the kitchen, and smoke began to billow rapidly. Keyara was seen inside the room, still asleep due to the influence of the drug injected by Amora.In an instant, the fire, caused by the gas cylinder explosion, spread rapidly, scorching the right wing of the building.The nurses and patients who escaped quickly from the recreation room were safe. This was thanks to the precise and prompt command given by Doctor Amora. The do
Keyara felt almost choked up seeing Grey arrive. She hadn't expected Grey to come at all. How did he come? Keyara looked towards her father, her eyes betraying curiosity. Seeing Mr. Oliver's gaze, Keyara knew that Mr. Oliver must have been the one to inform Grey that he should come.Grey burst in, then swiftly pulled Keyara's body out of the chair and embraced her tightly. Keyara even found it difficult to breathe for a moment."I'm grateful you're back, I truly had no idea where else to look for you!" Grey exclaimed with joy.Keyara tried to hold her breath as Grey continued to hold her tightly, but at the thirtieth second, she couldn't bear it any longer. She attempted to convey to Grey that she was having trouble breathing in such a tight embrace.Grey quickly released his embrace. He smiled with happiness."Ah, now that Grey is here. Grey should also take a seat," Keyara said.Grey nodded and promptly took a seat on their sofa."Where have you been, Key? What have you been doing,
Keyara was startled, quickly gripping Ares' hand and then leaning over, getting closer to his face."Ares... you awake?!" Keyara asked with a mixture of anxiousness and joy.Ares' initial response was just a slow movement of his fingers, then his mouth moved gradually. Seeing Ares' lips moving, Keyara leaned in closer, placing her ear nearby. She could hear a faint and gentle voice."Yara..."Keyara immediately tightened her grip on Ares' hand. "Yes, I'm here...""Yara..." Ares' voice sounded weak. "Water..." He uttered, prompting Keyara to press the button to call the nurse.A few moments later, several nurses and doctors entered the ICU room. Keyara stepped back against the side wall, watching as the doctors busied themselves examining Ares, ensuring his condition, checking his vital signs, and his consciousness.Berry, standing behind the large glass window, looked on with joyful eyes. He was thankful that his boss had awakened from his coma.After a while, the doctor turned to fac
Grey was seen fixing his tie and then admiring himself in the mirror. Today wasn't Sunday; he had rearranged his schedule and would arrive around noon. His plan for the day was to visit Keyara, take her out for a while, and then return to the office.Grey decided to take it slow, considering that Keyara hadn't regained her memories yet. It must have been quite a shock, but Grey was confident that if he reassured Keyara, their marriage could be restored.Thus, Grey whistled happily, imagining all the positive things in his mind. As he descended the stairs, his cheerful demeanor caught the attention of his mother, Ms. Maple."Grey, why do you look so delighted? Is there something pleasing you?" Ms. Maple inquired upon seeing Grey's joyful attitude.Ah, Grey smirked and realized he hadn't shared the joyful news of Keyara's return with his parents yet."Well, you could say that," Grey replied, then approached and joyfully kissed his mother's cheek."Oh, are you going to share it with me?"
"Miss..." Berry tried to gently pull Keyara back to prevent her from falling."Now, where is he?" Keyara asked, her voice trembling. Tears had already started streaming down her cheeks."Mr. Ares is currently at the hospital," Berry replied.Keyara clenched her fists, her hands pressed against her lips in distress. "Bring me there, Berry. I need to see him," Keyara said, her voice quivering as she fought back tears.Berry nodded. He would do just that. Berry guided Keyara towards his car, where the headlights still illuminated them. He opened the back door for her to make it easier for her to get in. Keyara looked uneasy as she got in, sitting down with shallow breaths.For the first time, Keyara felt as if her heart had plunged into a dark swamp. Upon hearing the news of Ares being in a coma, she felt like quicksand was pulling her down and ready to swallow her.Berry drove with occasional glances back through the rearview mirror. He saw Keyara's pale face. Berry was actually relieve
Keyara held her breath. She had accidentally stepped outside her room, intending to go downstairs for a drink, but the conversation between her parents was audible from where she stood. Her heart felt wounded. Even though they were her parents, hearing them say that the child she had given birth to was unwanted hurt deeply. Keyara slowly retreated and then re-entered her room.Keyara curled up on the bed, burying her face in her knees. Her feelings were crushed. While she knew the truth about Ares and Lion, who were considered her birth parents, were unremembered entities to her. Even Grey. Although Keyara had once been infatuated with Grey and thought about him, her memories of Grey were limited to their meeting in Spain.Keyara felt like she didn't belong here. She didn't recognize this room. Despite her many photos displayed on the walls, she didn't know any of those faces.Keyara pressed her face into her knees, drowning her confusion and sadness.It seemed like just yesterday her
Keyara fell silent in her room, tears streaming down her face. Her memories hadn't returned yet, but the recent events had hit her heart hard. She had been deceived, for a very long time.Keyara suddenly bit her lip, how could she have been in love with Ares back then? Letting that man claim her, while he had already committed a grave wrong against her.Keyara still seemed visibly shaken. Trying to process all the new information was like attempting to digest an overwhelming wave. She felt the need to be alone, closing and locking her door. Though her surroundings felt unfamiliar due to her memory issues, she recognized that this was her room.From behind the closed door, a knocking sound reached her ears. Keyara hastily wiped her tears away. Clearing the traces of her emotions that were still lingering."Who is it?" Keyara asked, her voice slightly louder than usual."Key, it's me..." Grey's voice sounded.Keyara fell silent, her face now pale. The barrage of incoming information fel
Ares wiped his nose. The thick, red liquid streaked across his hand. He remembered a time in junior high when he had bled, back when he faced bullying. But Ares wasn't one to back down when confronted by oppressors. He fought back, leaving his tormentors with broken bones and a call to their parents. Ares never stopped fighting.Afterward, he never allowed anyone to make him bleed again. He delved into boxing, karate, and marksmanship. He fortified his body to ensure no one dared lay a hand on him again.And now, someone had made his nose bleed again. It was the man who had been his friend in the past, now turned into an enemy and a rival for Keyara's love. Ares was in his worst state. He couldn't even muster a punch against Grey, not with the emotional turmoil, he felt, akin to a churning black hole.Grey seemed unsatisfied; he wanted to hurt Ares even more. Making Ares realize that Grey, standing before him, was the man rightfully in possession of Keyara. Ares had audaciously propos
Ares removed his helmet. Then he opened the gate. The house appeared deserted. He hesitated slightly. Bringing Keyara to this place, what now?Initially, he wanted to step back, but something in his heart urged him to move forward again. Now or never.His feet, which were initially uncertain, took another step. The open door revealed no one. He proceeded with caution. Ares entered the house without permission.Grey's eyes widened when he saw a figure entering the living room. Quickly, Grey stood up."You!" Grey exclaimed, rising to his feet.Mr. Oliver turned around, equally surprised by the middle-aged man's presence.Ares stepped into the separate family room, formed by a partition that resembled a door."How did you get here?!" Grey demanded.Mr. Oliver stood up. Then unexpectedly, the middle-aged man approached and slapped Ares' face. The man who appeared out of nowhere was now taken aback.Ares held his stinging cheek. His eyes squinted in bewilderment."You dare to come here aft
Ares continued to stare at Doctor David. His eyes were intense, laden with pressure, while Doctor David seemed to try to remain composed.Ares smiled, "Even if Grey were to know, logically, no one else should know. Especially not an outsider like you, knowing about Keyara's situation. Unless... you were the one who leaked the information to Grey himself. Am I wrong in my suspicion?" Ares turned around now, finding Doctor David pale in place.Ares seemed to clench his fists, then he asked again, "How much were you paid to provide that information to Grey?"Doctor David shook his head, "No... it's not like that...""HOW MUCH WERE YOU PAID!!" Ares raised his voice.Anyone who heard Ares' escalated tone would surely feel fear. Ares always managed to instill horror and fear when he bared his angry fangs."On... One hundred thousand..." Doctor David stuttered in reply.Ares growled, then he turned to Berry, "Call the security, then toss this bastard onto the streets!""Mr. Ares... but... yo
