Two days later, at St. Maria Hospital.
In the advanced VIP ward.
The morning sunlight seeped through the gaps in the curtains, dazzling with a golden hue that was slightly harsh on the eyes. It was summer, and the chirping of insects and the clear bird calls overlapped in waves.
Felix opened his eyes, his dry eyes feeling heavy. He seemed a bit tired, as if he had slept for a long time. The pure white surroundings momentarily confused him, not knowing where he was.
He turned his head to look at the clock on the bedside table and was taken aback for a moment. It had been two days since his last impression.
He finally remembered what happened that day. Vicki and Seren had nearly died together, and Cloud ultimately killed Seren. Then, when he and Vicki left, he remembered that he seemed to have lost consciousness.
So, he was in the hospital now?
No, that's not right. He remembered everything now. He had been knocked out by Vicki. That woman almost took the child with her to die, all for the sake of protecting him. It was unbelievable, she had literally knocked him out.
Even now, thinking back, he still felt angry.
Felix moved his body and felt soreness in his shoulder. He turned his head to the other side and saw that Vicki was also in the room. She was lying on the edge of the bed, seemingly asleep. No wonder he had felt something soft next to him earlier; she had been in the room with him all along.
At this moment, the sunlight shone on her, making her originally wheat-colored skin glisten like honey. Her thick black eyelashes trembled gently, and her sensual and full lips made one unable to resist the urge to kiss them.
Felix looked at Vicki tenderly, his eyes filled with deep affection.
Luckily, she was alright. Luckily, everything was over.
Recalling the thrilling scene from before, he felt his heart still pounding in his chest. He reached out his hand, intending to touch her hair.
Vicki suddenly woke up, as she was a light sleeper and any movement would make her alert. She lifted her head and saw Felix staring at her. She sat up and said, "Why didn't you call me when you woke up?"
Felix's hand didn't touch her hair; it hung in the air. He wanted to reach for her hand instead.
But Vicki suddenly stood up and walked towards the door. She opened it and shouted in the corridor, "Nurse, the patient is awake!"
Felix "..."
His hand remained suspended in the air, unable to touch her, only feeling a sense of loneliness that made him feel very displeased.
He had been unconscious for two days, and now that he had finally woken up, she didn't show any excitement or embrace him. Instead, she immediately went to call the nurse. This woman... was not gentle at all.
