Aiden was not left alone inside his room for that long
Because just a few minutes after Nathalia left him, Clark also came back.
"Clark where have you been???!"
Aiden asked Clark as soon as the other party stepped inside the room.
Finally, he could already have a breather and sighed in relief because he could already guarantee himself that he was looking and talking to someone who truly exists.
someone who was surely for real. A person for a real deal.
"Oh, I just went out to have some fresh air. Besides, I don't' think you would like me to be here either. Standing and watching your drama with that wife of yours, right???"
Clark replied before he took a chair and sat next to Aiden's bed.
"So you really do saw her too???"
Aiden asked in a voice full of uncertainty.
"Of course I do. Why? Do you take me as a blind man? How could I not see her?? You know very well how my eyes were easily attracted to beautiful things like magnets. It will be hard for me not to spot a beauty as dazzling as her. By the way, how did you lure her to be your wife???!"
No matter how hard he thought about it, Clark still found it hard to believe that the beautiful lady that he just met was actually Aiden's wife.
How in the world was that possible???
But instead of answering his question, Aiden just stared into nothingness.
He has this dazed expression that almost made him looked like someone had stolen his soul.
"So she is definitely for real, and not just my imagination."
Aiden said to himself with a bewildered expression when his soul finally came back to his body.
If Clark also saw Nathalia, then it only means that she was not a figment of his imagination.
If that was truly the case, then what she told him before was all for real.
So it only goes to say that, he, Aiden Jones was indeed married to the Queen of Darkness.
Everything was for real!!!!
When this realization dawned on Aiden, fear started to creep upon him. Especially when he was reminded of Nathalia's last words before she left.
"By the way, don't look straight in their eyes or they might get attached to you."
Nathalia's voice rang clear to his mind as if she was just speaking next to his ears.
"Is she referring to the ghosts????!"
Aiden asked aloud with his eyes wide open before they darted from side to side to see anything peculiar around him.
But so far, there was no one inside the room beside him and Clark.
And that was a relief!
What?? Did you just say ghost??! Stop fooling around saying such lame jokes. It is not funny at all, Aiden."
Clark said in the most nonchalant voice that he could muster.
Yet he also looked sideways from left to right to see for himself if they really did have unwanted companies on that very moment
As much as he did not want to be affected by Aiden's antics, he still could not help himself from getting worried.
Not just for Aiden but also for himself.
He thought that Aiden's sickness was acting up once more and he was about to turn nuts again.
Then as if to confirm his suspicion, Aiden suddenly went stiff and right after that, he curled up on his bed and covered himself underneath the blanket
It was at that time that Clark started to regret his decision of coming back to Aiden's room for that night.
This guy sure knew how to creep him out.
What a total nutjob!
But Clark's fright would never come close to comparing to how Aiden was frightened silly at that time.
Because out of the blue, Aiden started to hear the annoying sound of ballpen clicking.
'CLICK! CLICK!'
It was exactly just like how he heard it from the annoying nurse back then.
He had been hearing that same clicking sound from someone playing with a ballpen before.
In fact, he already got used to it somehow. Because ever since he woke up from that hospital, he could already hear that same sound every night.
That was why he just thought that it was normal and he convinced himself to bear with it every night.
But it was an entirely different story now.
Because before, he thought that it was just an annoying and inconsiderate nurse that was doing it.
Well, it was still the same annoying and inconsiderate nurse. But now, there was more than that.
Because it was an annoying and inconsiderate GHOST NURSE doing it!!!!
Aiden tried to recite the multiplication table with his eyes tightly closed while he hid himself under the thick blanket.
He tried his best to distract himself and pit his mind into something else so he won't have to think about the ghost nurse and his ballpen.
Yet no matter how hard Aiden tried to keep his mind busy, he still could not help but hear the sound of someone playing with a ballpen.
'CLICK! CLICK! 'CLICK! CLICK! 'CLICK! CLICK!
And what made it worse was that the sound seemed to be approaching!!!!
Clark's confirmation, as well as his self-realization about the truth of what was happening around him, was indeed enough to frighten him out of his mind.
To the point that it could almost drive him out of his sanity.
Aiden and Clark just both wanted to sleep soundly for that night. But it seemed that it won't be possible anymore.
In the end, they both spent their night spooked out.
Early the next day, Aiden was discharged
The dark circles under Aiden's and Clark's eyes were enough to speak volumes how their night went the previous night.
It was obvious that they did not have a good night's sleep at all.
"Alright. So for your therapy, You still have to visit my office as often as you can. I have free scheduled every Wednesday so you could come during those days. We have to keep doing it until we could finally verify that you already recovered from your trauma."
Dr. Coolman advised Aiden before Aiden finally left the hospital.
"Yes, I will, Doctor. Thank you so much for your help these past few days."
Aiden said with a bright and polite smile although he was already aware that his sessions with Dr. Coolman won't help him resolved any of his trauma.
