St. Michael's Hospital is in a mess, Eula and Equinox are holding each other's hand tightly.
Eula can't help checking Nox every second his face is full of worry and anger or both combined.
They check every Hospital bed and the divisions to check if Claudius was there, but what they are seeing is a lot of police officers who are injured with burns.
Eula is already getting scared by every second she smelled blood,smoke, burned skin, and antiseptic and she felt dizzy.
She began to remember memories that her brain omitted as a self defense not to get hurt. Her head began to hurt so much she wanted to put both of her hands on her head but since Nox was holding the other hand she couldn't do it.
Nox didn't notice it at first but when he looks at her she is completely pale and sweating.
Eula knows it was not a normal headache. She remembers how someone pulled her out of the car but also witnessed something gruesome and brutal.
She collapsed and black out, Equinox caught her in time before she fell down on the floor.
Eula was given a private room so she can rest. Equinox is the one who filled out her information and let them know that he was his husband so he can be her guardian.
When Eula wakes up screaming
NO! NO!
STOP! STOP!
Equinox hugged her immediately to calm her down but her shaking body continued.
They really killed her Nox ,They killed my Mom! They killed her! said Eula
Nox can't help but to feel restless but he was needed by Claudius and Eula more today. He just hugged and shushed her to calm down when she did. Nox knows that it will be a long story.
She calms down due to Equinox hugging her his warmth is soothing and she also hears his heartbeat. It makes her much calmer. She remembers Claudius as the main reason they are in the hospital.
Nox, How was Claudius, have you found him? We need to check on him! I'm okay. Let's go and find him.
As Eula tries to get up on her own but her knees are weak and would not cooperate but she thinks just needs a cane or a walker to hold onto. But Equinox stops her movements before she leaps out of the bed.
Hey, Sweetheart! "You need to calm down and rest here".
Claudius in the operating room there is a part of his back that was severely burned. They are doing skin evaluation to check if the skin can be grafted. And they are also cleaning and closing his other wounds. It needed a dermatologist and surgeon to do that.
He's in good hands. I have known the Doctors and there is also someone you knew as well her name is Hyacinth Dalton, she is one of your friends right?
Yes, I know her she is a Trauma Doctor said Eula
I know your worried Aquila will stay with Claudius to guard him. There is also a caregiver or nurse that I will ask to be assigned to him.
He cannot sleep on his back at the moment and they also check if there is a problem with his spinal cord or bones.
She notices how tired Nox is. He didn't get any sleep.
It was already evening the next day after the kidnapping happened that she woke up.
She couldn't help but ask, "Have you gotten any sleep?".She moves her body and asks him to go up in the hospital bed and sleep. She even tapped the bed several times before Equinox followed her request.
Unconsciously, she hugged him; she was comfortable with his warmth and they both drifted away to sleep.
She didn't have any Bad Dreams anymore.
Morning came and four women were now watching two couples sharing beds.
Louise, Nathalie, Brielle, and Hyacinth make sure that their movements would not cause any sound so the two can sleep soundly and freely.
The two wake up looking at each other at the same time and both of their faces become red as wild roses are and they are still hugging each other.
They felt that there were a lot of eyes watching them sleeping.
Someone is inside the room, said Nox whispering to Eula.
Yes there are a lot of spectators around us, Nox.
Nox, Turns around and sees a group of four women smiling mischievously.
I will just buy our dinner he tried to get up but felt dizzy Eula hold on to his waist to support him from not falling out of the hospital bed she also whisper to his ears this words
Are you scared of being the only man in this room? Teased by Eula
No, I'm not scared but I should give you girls privacy so all of us can talk later. I will check on Aquila and Claudius. Please Excuse me!
With these explanations Equinox got a graceful exit.
While the five girls were left in the room.
All of the four women screamed their lungs out.
Hell! Eula I like him. He's much better than Patrick said Hyacinth
I agree he's much sexier than Patrick too, Nathalie said it with a smile.
Did he join the police, military, air force, or navy, because his body looked like a soldier? said Brielle with a curious look.
Gals! He's Off Limits, He's taken, said Louise as she teases Eula.
The four girls rushed to tell her everything.
She started how she found out that her father and stepmother colluded in killing her mother when she was a kid she also clearly heard that they are not planning to kill her because of her inheritance.
How she get drunk in the bar and how she heard the news about her Fiance Patrick and her younger sister cheating scandal or the pregnancy rumors how she coped on the news
She let her friends know what they needed to know.
The first person to break the silence after the long story was Brielle.
I can't believe how your father and family became monsters because of money.
Me too! said the other three chorused.
But we cannot accept or condone that they did this to you who lost her mother at an early age because of murder. Hyacinth muttered with a little bit of disgust and anger.
If you need help with safety I will assign or ask people to guard you even the other girls Brielle offered.
Thank you said Eula
To be honest I am Thankful to have such good friends, if not I don't know what I will be doing now.
Eula, justice will be served on a Hottest Platter ever and if not just wait for Karma said Louise.
She knows the moment that she goes home there will be just bad things that will happen in the future. But Eula isn't scared anymore since she has the best support system.
Eula also mentioned about the one nightstand and just to swerve the negativity Nathalie started to speak about it.
How was your time with Equinox? Could you tell us more about it, Eula.
Eula starts to blush; she knows Nathalie was just doing that so everyone will already relax
She started.to tell stories about how Equinox cooks, eats, and works and how time she shared with him was meaningful.
Wow, I just learned that he fill out your medical form and name you as Mrs. Eula Violet Blackwell
Brielle notices the name tag on the bed.
Everyone teases her and they also checked the name tag even Hyacinth whose a Doctor in these Hospital didn't know that Eula was confined she just knew the news because Louise called her after many surgeries she did today and yesterday.
I just knew him in the past week but I felt I have known him forever. He wouldn't tell me when I have met him. He's mysterious but he is a great person.
Meanwhile, Nox walked to the other private room near Eula's room. He sees Aquila holding his laptop continuously hacking or trapping someone. Their eyes met. He knows that this guy is preparing a detailed investigation.
The room was quiet, no one dared to speak, you'll just hear tapping sounds.
Equinox, look at Claudius face it wasn't burned but his back suffered the most burned even his buttocks didn't escape the blast.
He remembers how he and Claudius met when they were four or five years old; their parents are close to one another.
The Blue's family was a servant of the Leighton family Equinox mother side. They are really strict when it comes to family traditions and other stuff.
Equinox was called Young Master by everyone; his mother Callalia Idalia Leighton was the sole Heiress of the family fortune thus making Nox a wealthy little boy but his mother wanted him to experience growing without so much pressure, so his mother decided to buy a house that is peaceful.
Equinox Father Perihelion Lucas Blackwell came from a middle class family they also have small business is one of her mother suitors and classmates they are platonically in love with each other that's why they married earlier than their peers.
Claudius' parents are classmates of his father and mother as well but since they moved to Equinox parents didn't know that the two got married and have a kid already.
From then on Claudius always called him Young Master but he hated it a bit since he grew up in a normal setting no one called him Young master until the age of eight years old.
He is also annoyed how Claudius follows him all the time and How he also got into trouble because of bullies.
But Equinox uncle Aphelion Matthew Blackwell, twin of his father told him "You should treasure your friends because they are for keeps". That boy will be one of your greatest allies in the future.
But Equinox replied "there is a thin line between a boss and a friend". I don't know if I was treated like a boss and young master or his friend.
"Your a smart kid you would figure it out but you should always make sure to not forget how important it is to look back and treasure good people around you". said his uncle Aphelion
His Uncle Aphelion love talking to him and his twin sister Solstice, he also love Claudius like a niece.
But there is an unexpected turn of events that change Claudius' life forever. At the age of ten years old he lost his parents; his father died due to human recklessness and left his mother comatose until now.
Equinox's parents paid for the funeral and hospitalization of Claudius' parents. They did let Claudius use the savings his parents had left for him. Equinox parents tell Claudius to use it wisely and use it for his education. Claudius stayed with the Blackwell's and even studied alongside Equinox and his twin sister Solstice.
They are always with each other.
He even let Claudius stay in his room so he could wake him up. He had nightmares every night his sister Solstice loved Claudius like a brother too. They always wait for Claudius at break times at school so they can eat packed lunches together and do almost everything with Claudius. They celebrated every occasion with Claudius so he won't feel alone; he is a family member of Blackwell's no one will ever change that. Every achievement and failure Claudius supported him. It pains him to see him suffering because he asked him to investigate.
Now he is looking at Claudius who is sleeping soundly because of pain medications he is taking and other medicine.
He knows how much Claudius hates the Hospital, the smell of the hospital disinfectants, the look of sick people, the look of worried family member's and lastly the hospital bills.
Claudius always says to him if he gets sick he will just drop by at the hospital and go home afterwards. He wanted to die at home, not in the hospital.
When the doctor finished the procedure he could now breathe easier. He will make sure that Claudius will be healed properly.
He wanted to see Claudius teasing him again and again like it's a routine that he does.
He prays to God that there will be no complications that might happen to him. He knows how important Claudius is to his family members.
Aquila knows the bond between the two that's why he is doing his best to find the main culprit of this incident. They will be paying a handsome price. He is also close to Claudius so it's really a personal thing for him.
