Bernard ran into Edward resting on the pavements in the front of the office gate. Edward had been taken aside from the crowd. A doctor and two rest others from the factory’s clinic were checking the condition of Edward, Eric West and Jason. They were helped by some office employees. “Mr. Edward, could you hear me?” In quite panic expression, Bernard knelt and tried to speak with Edward, he saw some blood streaming down. The doctor asked him staying calm while he was opening up Edward’s outer outfit. It seemed he needed to check Edward’s chest area. “We are going to let you know his condition later. Now, please staying calming down.” He spoke in his solely voice while his hands were working to examine Edward. Edward’s white shirt was becoming red as the blood stained it. Bernard clenched his hand and rose from his kneeling position. He made a phone call, his voice sounded throaty, a bit shaking. “We should fly the three of them to the near hospital immediately.” The do
“Hey…” Emma welcomed Edward as he slowly opened his eyes. Her blue eyes were widened sparkling to embrace him. The misty scene was shadowing in his eyes for some seconds. His screwing eyes tried to avoid the light in the room penetrating the pupils. “Hi…” Edward sighed and looked away from her. His voice sounded lame. He wetted his creaked lips. “Granny.” He welcomed the grip of Mrs. Arlina on his fingers. “How you feel?” She asked him while her warm hand caressed the man’s cheek resting on the bed with some infuses on his hand. “I feel dull.” Edward smirked and asked for water to drink. Emma gave it to him and she let him sucking through the straw. “Enough. Thank you.” He said and watched his surroundings. “You’re getting better, sweetie.” Emma beamed at him, staring with her umbrageous eyes. He sighed and smirked. “ I will.” His stare looked not enough shiny. Everything seemed white in dull color that he found no shining days inside the room. Only some equi
Bernard was passing the two rooms. Each was side by side room and had only one access to enter unless the doorway to the emergency room. At sudden, his gadget was echoing. “We should meet and talk.” A baritone voice of a man started a conversation. Bernard quickly moved his head to look around. “Who is this?” his voice was echoing, the unknown number had access to call him. ‘It’s unusual. My number is limited for people in common.’ The man over there sighed. His breathing sounded heavy and clear. “I know Edward Philippe’s mother. I heard what happened to him. It’s Emir Drake and meet me in the White Lounge café, the one next to the hospital.” He talked like a gentleman. Bernard inhaled and wiped his nose. “Meet me there in fifteen minutes. Please, make sure to keep all the patients under good guards.” The man spoke again before closing his phone. Bernard opened the door of Eric West and the room of Jason where they were resting. As he examined, they wer
Emma turned off the water faucets to blend the hot and cold water on the bathtub, reached its temperature was warmer enough to soak herself as she slid her bare naked body into it. The foam overwhelming covered her body, she rested her head on the rim of the bathtub. Her mind was floating like a movie roll playing a story. She looked up the surroundings. The windows in the bathroom were ornamented by mosaics and some small green plants on the pots by each of the windows’ sill. It gave the atmosphere of a village touch combined with cottage interior. ‘This house hasn’t changed at all since twenty years ago, I came to visit Martinez before moving to Paris.’ She blew some foams and played with them as she and Martinez used to play some water games. But as deep as she imagined Martinez, she also thought his twin. ‘Edward Philippe looks so cute too. Gosh…I can’t imagine the way he smiled at that time… looks indifferent from Martinez, well, though he comes more mysterious,
