K"What?!!"Krystal hissed. She could not believe that he fell down on his knees just because she threatened to beat him up. How could an handsome man like him be a coward, Krystal thought but she could not care less as that was what she wanted.
"Just give up on the award. You can say that you're not worthy of the award so you let go of it....then i will let you go".
He looked up just then and Krystal could see that instead of defeat,his silver eyes held mockery in them. Did she misunderstand his action of kneeling? What other meaning did kneeling have except for admitting defeat and proposing...and he absolutely wasn't proposing.
Kyle could not believe that she actually thought he was kneeling to her. How could a royalty like himself,even though he did not like to flaunt his status,kneel to her? He calmed himself and looked around. None of Ethan's bodyguards were around and it seemed strange. He regretted agreeing with his father to stay in the vvip section. His agreement had put him in an uncomfortable condition. First,he met this woman who kept fighting with him over an award,then his illness acted up in front of her but she did not seem to care, instead she was blabbering on about the award. If he had not stayed in the vvip section but had stayed with any of the other doctors in the hospital, someone would have noticed that he was not well but since he was not with them from the beginning,they would not have any reason to look after him. Now he could only beg this woman in front of him.
"Miss Alexander." His voice was quivering so it instantly attracted Krystal's attention. She observed him closely and noticed that he was actually shivering even with the thick coat he was wearing. Her eyes quickly swept over him and she discovered that he was kneeling not because he surrendered but he was actually weak.
"could you..."Kyle
could not finish because she rushed over to him immediately. She knelt at his front and placed her
hands on his forehead to check his temperature. The hotness made her throw her hands away. Still, she took his two hands into hers and staring into his eyes worriedly,she began to ask questions;
"How did your temperature become this high? Are you feeling hot…or cold because you seem to be shivering? Were you feeling weak before or did this start recently? I mean feeling weak to the extent of falling on your knees."
Staring at her face which was etched with worry,Kyle could not fathom his feelings anymore. He had judged her to be an obnoxious,loud and selfish woman but all he could see as she knelt at his front was the opposites of what he had judged her to be with an additional quality;she was damn beautiful with those….
A sudden bout of pain of pain rushed through Kyle's spine causing him to fall right onto Krystal,his head plunging onto her shoulder. He wanted to push himself up but discovered he could not so he could only rest on her shoulder.He could feel his heart thudding loudly as if begging to be let out of his ribcage,and it surprised him.
There were instances when his heartbeats were as loud as this. Whenever he ran in the hospital,his heart would beat just like now and even though it was not normal,he knew it was as a result of his weak health. Another instance was whenever he was in dangerous situations,as a normal human being it was expected for his kidney to secrete adrenaline whenever he was in danger which would result in increased rate of heartbeat so even though Kyle was rarely in danger[except for his health],he cited danger as another situation whereby his heartbeat was expected to be loud. But he could not understand the situation right now,he was simply resting his head on a woman's shoulder so why was his heart beating as fast and loud as this?He added this matter to the list of confusing matters he would seek advice from experts about.
The door was suddenly pushed open from outside causing Krystal's heart to jump.Ethan's bodyguards suddenly filled the room.
"Achan"Kyle called out to the one at the rear,the leader of the bodyguards. Achan didn't reply for a moment. He was actually surprised to see their position when he entered. It was a position that would have been perfect if it was Krystal resting on kyle's shoulder but their position now made him feel like Krystal was a mother hen protecting her chick from…Achan?
"Achan!!!"Kyle gritted his teeth. What was that idiot doing there without coming over to help him?
Achan snapped out of his thoughts. He waved his hands and three bodyguards left his side,two went to help Kyle up,while the remaining one helped Krystal.
When Krystal saw that Kyle was acquainted with the man who entered and that the man seemed familiar with Kyle's condition,she relaxed.
