When she gained consciousness, she felt sharp pain, it was like all parts of her body were crying with the agony. Her eyes were aching as if someone had stabbed her with hundreds of needles and her vision was still dusky.
She blinked several times and tried to part apart the haziness around her eyes.
However the haziness and duskiness didn't move away anywhere but she found similar warmth which she felt a while ago when she lost her consciousness. Somehow she was relieved that person was still there.
After a second, she sensed that person was moving away. She could feel agitation in heart. It was clear that her heart was behaving indifferently. Still, She wanted to see that person.
Hurriedly, she tried to touch her face so that she could rub her eyes. But her hands didn't react.
With frustration, She tried again with all of her
strength to raise her hand but she failed again. It felt like her body paralyzed because of that smoke. Though she could sense that smoke was poisonous at that time but her belief was too big, she believed with her new modifications it would not affect her a bit.
She caused herself. It was all fault of her over confident that she was lying on the bed like an old hug..
She could not describe what was making her this desperate and why she was getting irritated. She could feel that her blood was running in her veins rapidly. It was all because she wanted to see that person as soon as possible.
She was not ready to wait any further. She wanted to see him. NOW.
After some time passed and nothing worked. Her eyes were still holding darkness and haziness. She sighed. 'Why are you behaving so hypothetically?' she asked herself while surprising her anger and frustration.
When she found he was gone. She closed her eyes and went to sleep again.
She woke up after getting three hours sleep. She was in a normal mood because she could see everything clearly now. However her heart was still holding insistence to find that person.
She tried to get up but her body didn't listen to her so she simply mumbled 'WATER!'.
"Hmm."
She heard a familiar voice. A second later her eyes captured the image of a handsome man. He was holding water glass in his hand.
He helped her to drink water. " How are you?" He asked.
"Good! Only my mouth and eyes are working. My body is still not in the mood to listen to me. But I'm happy at least my two senses are working." She replied while smiling weakly.
Her response made him chuckle. He didn't answer her but placed his on her head and patted her.
Zoe's heart skipped a beat when she saw him smiling and when his hand touched her head. She blinked with a dumbfounded expression.
"You did great." He said.
Zoe didn't utter anything but smile back. 'So this is what you are searching for? You stupid heart.'
"Do you want anything else?"
His voice was holding tenderness and this was making Zoe confused. When they first met, he behaved like a jerk. However now he was treating her with so much care. Why?
Well, she was not hating his heart warming demeanor.
She shook her head while her eyes were looking at him with so much emotion.
"Alright! Then rest." After petting her head again he was about to leave but before he could take a step away from her she grabbed her jacket's sleeve. "Don't go!"
She realized what just she did. So she quickly released his jacket.
Noah turned back and saw the girl who was laying on the bed. Her face was pale and she was looking too weak.
He was not able to stop strom which was raising deep inside him. It was all his fault to recognize her this late.
How could he make a mistake in identifying his other half? his mate? He should have discerned her with a first glance. However, Not Only He failed to cognize her but also treated her badly.
Noah looked at her more deeply. He was thinking How precious she was yet he pushed her to Alicia. To a living demon.
He knew her parameter was low when she was training her but still if only he took her under his care she would not be laying on this damn hospital bed.
Zoe was surviving under his deep gaze for a long time and she was not able to take it anymore. She smiled awkwardly , "Big Boss."
"You want me to stay."
The thing she could do was blink her eyes. His voice was too memorizing and his gaze, it was still unavoidable. She could clearly observe how much heed his eyes were holding.
She nodded slowly and he sat on the chair again.
When she realized she just made her boss sit in the front of her without any valid reason she cried in her mind. 'Damnt Zoe! Why? Why? Why do you become like this when it comes to him? huh? Are you an idiot? Rather saying if you have time or I want to talk about something serious you just made him to be with you for nothing. Who do you think he is? Now for fuck sake find an excuse.'
"Well, I mean… I .." even though her mind didn't find a good excuse but still some words came out from her mouth.
"You want to talk about something?" Noah said.
"Oh… Well yeah...I want to."
Noah was looking at her with seriousness and it was making her more uncomfortable. She knew she was weak to his handsome face but how she had to face his eyes which was holding care and tenderness for her.
"I want to talk about my last mission." Still her mouth utter a valid but strong excuse.
