Seeing the nurse busy while doing some checking procedures, Arthur took the opportunity to ask some questions.
"Do you know when I got here? I'm really a little dizzy and I can't remember much." Arthur's expression carried a silly but questioning smile.
"You arrived this morning with symptoms of cardiac arrest. Firefighters said you came out of a fire after you saved someone. Congratulations, Hero! " After she finished speaking, the nurse looked slightly at Arthur, drawing his attention with her beautiful green eyes.
Arthur immediately tried to use his 'Vision of Soul' skill on the nurse, but as soon as he tried, a huge headache ensued.
"Aaargh!" Arthur screamed lightly as he held his head in his hands.
As soon as he heard Arthur's cry, the nurse soon approached him and made him lie down.
"There are some post-surgery effects, so you can't make any sudden movements. I'll get you some painkillers and I'll be right back!"
But, before the nurse could go any further, she felt a strong, warm hand holding her wrist. It was holding her tight enough just to stop her, without hurting.
"Do you ... Do you know where the kids are?" Between teeth, Arthur squeezed out a few words. He was slowly recovering the memories of last night.
"Kids?" This question surprised the nurse. She looked at Arthur for a few more moments before a smile left her beautiful lips and she said:
"I'll check it out for you!"
As soon as she arrived at the door, Arthur's voice once again rang in her ears.
"What is your name?"
"You can call me Hanna." After she spoke, she left.
Arthur's headache slowly disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Hanna, eh?"
***
After a few minutes of rest, the door to Arthur's room was opened again and a nurse accompanied by a doctor entered.
"Good morning, Mr. Hero. It looks like your body is really interesting! Just a few hours of rest and it's brand new, right?" It was the doctor who spoke, and unlike surgery during the night, now carried a post of respect in front of Arthur.
People have always admired others who sacrificed themselves for others. Especially someone with Arthur's background ...
"I feel flattered, Doctor Cristina! Hero is a title far above what I really deserve." Said Arthur with a silly smile on his face. He quickly checked the doctor's name on the name tag on her chest. Besides, he had no idea what the doctor was saying ...
'My God, what the hell did I do yesterday ??' Arthur's thoughts.
"I see that you are well enough to make jokes. So let's see how the signs are. Nurse, you can start checking!" Said Cristina when giving some orders to the nurse.
The nurse soon started to do some checks. What Arthur found most strange was that the nurse had given him a strange look, and then turned her flushed face.
'I hope it's not what I think it is ...' A little bit of lingering fear appeared in Arthur's heart, along with anxiety.
But he soon ignored all of this and said to Cristina: "You don't need to do these procedures. A nurse earlier did and said everything was in order."
Cristina shot Arthur a questioning look and asked, "Which nurse?"
That look alone was enough for Arthur to confirm his theory. Shortly after that, a strange conversation took place between Arthur and Cristina.
"Who said nurse?"
"You said nurse! Who was?"
"You're going crazy, doctor. I did not say anything!"
"Arthur, you just said 'n-u-r-s-e'!"
"These hours in the morning and there are already drunk people!"
"Who are you calling drunk?!"
"Doctor, have a little medical posture, please. No need to scandalize."
Dr. Cristina immediately had a dark and red face with anger. Of course, it was not the kind of anger at wanting to kill a person. It was more out of shame that Arthur put her through. She didn't imagine that this 'hero' would make her look like this.
"If you shut up, it's because you're wrong. I won!" Arthur again added gasoline to the fire.
"Who won what???"
Cristina was about to hit Arthur's leg, which was nearby, before a voice came from the door.
"Can you two children stop playing? My God!" The voice was a little thick, but it was young and soft.
"Boss, this woman is going nuts." Arthur immediately saw who it was at the door and drawed his final card. He was having so much fun making the doctor angry.
Who was at the door now was Shadow, head of the Mercenary Group 'Hunter', which Arthur joined last night.
Dr. Cristina at that time was already completely irritated, and some tears could be seen wanting to run from her beautiful eyes.
'In my 25 years of life, I have never been so irritated! This boy will pay me!' That thought stayed in Cristina's mind and pulsated at all times.
She, a phenomenal talent in medicine, a genius never seen before, was actually made of a doll in the hand of a patient who was many years younger than her. Although she is already a chief surgeon at that age, capable of far surpassing any cardiologist in the country, she was still young, so it was easy to get upset about such silly things.
Ignoring Arthur, she turned to the person who had just arrived and asked him: "Are you a patient visit? We are not yet receiving visitors, so I will have to ask you to leave, or I will call security." Her speech at that moment was proud again, like the doctor she is. There was no condescending tone in her voice, but she was being very serious when speaking to Shadow.
"Do not worry about it. I already got an authorization from the big boss. Also, can you pass me the folder over there? I will give the news to him!" Said Shadow, as he walked over to the doctor and handed her a document and took a folder from her hand. It was a diagnostics folder.
"If so, then you can feel free. We're on our way out now!"
After that, she and the nurse left the room. She knew in her heart how tough the head of the hospital was, and to get his authorization, the status of the person had to be equal to or greater than his. These people were not someone she could offend.
After that, Arthur and Shadow were alone in the hospital room.
"Your friend down there is famous in the hospital, right?" A smile appeared on Shadow's face as he sat on a chair next to Arthur's bed.
"What do you mean 'friend down there'? What are you talking about?" With a slightly confused look, Arthur asked back to Shadow.
"Let's say that during the emergency surgery yesterday, your friend there made a show to the nurses. After that, the news spread through the hospital, hahaha." Shadow spoke as he pointed to the area between Arthur's legs and laughed.
"What?..." A small possibility arose in Arthur's mind, which in an instant completely dominated and became a certainty.
After that, his face flushed a little. He finally understood why the nurse looked at him with a strange look.
After coughing twice, Arthur soon changed the subject: "So, what are you doing here? I thought the boss/subordinate relationship was only at the Arena. "
"And it is. I'm here as an acquaintance of yours who protected your back from the police and the Eye!" The expression on Shadow's face stopped being relaxed and became more serious. He soon continued to speak.
"For the police, as a favor because you solved one of the biggest cases of missing children, they decided to completely erase any involvement you had with the Belle Tenue fire and the murder of, now a criminal, Carlos Fonseca. Basically, you never left your hotel."
"Interesting ..." The more Shadow spoke, the more Arthur remembered things. The moment when he entered Carlos' house, when he found and left the children on the sofa. Even when he was driving. But after arriving in front of a certain building, everything went black ...
Now he knows what happened next.
'Possibly it was the deep rage I was feeling. Just like in the fight with him, I ended up being irrational.' Arthur's intelligent thoughts were always on point. He also looked at Shadow at that moment.
Shadow soon continued talking: "Luckily, I saw what you tried to do and immediately got some information and put a murder mission on Carlos Fonseca. So, as your boss, I assigned you to the mission in time and saved your skin by a close call. It was just the fulfillment of a mission. You are clean to the Guild."
"Your luck is that Carlos was already under investigation on some charges of harassment and murder. After you helped the police, a search and seizure warrant was issued, which made it easier to place a mission on top of him."
"So you owe me two favors!" Shadow said as he did it and showed the number two with his fingers. An intriguing smile was hovering on his face as well.
