All Chapters of The Boy Behind The Red Door: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

A few weeks passed. Lesley and Bangs became even closer to each other. The more Lesley spends time with him, the less she feels lonely. She felt like she had a new family. One that she had been longing for. She loves the feeling that Bangs is giving her. The feeling of being wanted and needed. These are the emotions she never experienced with Amanda, no matter how much she yearned. From childhood until now, she has never tasted a mother's or family's love. But for Bangs, she is like his light in his dark, cold and sad world in MNA, as if she is the most important thing in his life. "Bangs, I'm going home. Behave yourself while I am gone, okay?" He did not answer, but there was a trace of frustration on his face. "Don't be sad. I will come back tomorrow." She laughed softly at his long face. It has already been a while, but he is still not used to seeing her go home. She smiled while she waved her hand. "Goodbye! Be good." His black eyes followed her to the door until she w

"Les... Les... Lesley! Get up, or I will kiss you!" Lesley sighed in irritation. Patrick had been tapping her on the shoulder non-stop. He returned to her room a few times to remind her that they would be late for school, but she kept ignoring him. She had no desire to go or get up. She only wanted to sleep all day. She lazily opened her eyes and then looked around the room. She blinked to clear her blurry sight and looked at Patrick, who was scowling. "What are you still doing here?" she asked, lacking in tone. "Why are you not getting up yet? We will be late!" She forced herself to sit up and brushed her palms over her face. "Didn't I tell you that you can leave without me?" Patrick folded his arms and narrowed his eyes, staring intently at her face. "I thought you wanted to maintain your position as a dean's lister? We have tests today. Are you going to miss it? Why?" he asked suspiciously. With that question, the events of the night in Ward 511 played again in her mind.

Lesley quietly sits on the sofa inside Dr. Shane's office while contemplating what happened earlier. She remembers the look on people's faces after Mrs. Dapit interrupted her moment with Bangs. Everyone there had their jaws almost dropped while their eyes popped out at the unexpected kissing scene they witnessed. She wants to pull her hair and kick her feet. Why did Bangs do that? And why did she let it happen? It was her first kiss. Most of all, they did it in front of a lot of people! She wishes for the ground to swallow her up from the extreme embarrassment she is feeling. She will definitely become even more famous in this hospital now. Mrs. Dapit directed her to go to Dr. Shane's office immediately, which she followed without any second thoughts and left Bangs' side. She was given a new uniform because the one she wore had bloodstains on it. She got it when Bangs carried her and hugged her. "Do you want coffee?" said the doctor, who had just entered the room and was carrying

"You will be ours forever..."  Those were the first words Shane said when Lesley asked what kind of deal they were offering her. She wanted to laugh at it until Shane laid out the other details of their agreement. "We will double your salary. We will provide all the healthcare you need. You will also receive educational assistance, but you will still work here with us after you graduate. There are many more benefits you can get from us. You can check the contract, which will be provided to you by my assistant later." Her lips parted, and both her eyebrows rose in astonishment. It sounded enticing. But to work with them forever like a puppet? No way! She shook her head aggressively.  "Do you think, after wh

Lesley was almost dragging her feet as she walked out of the MNA lobby. Her body, brain, and heart were exhausted from so much that had happened to her today.  She can not help but frown on her way out of the building. Shane's annoying laugh kept playing in her head as she told her the reason why Bangs kissed her.  She confessed to the doctor that Bangs had romantic feelings for her, and so did she. As crazy as it sounds, that was the explanation she gave.  She expected Shane to mock her. It was no surprise, but that was still very insulting. What can she do? That is the truth. It is better than lying, right? Her eyes are on the floor as she walks when she suddenly bumps into someone. She was complete
