58 Gaile's End 6
"Are you not really going to the hospital?" Lea asked again.
"No." Coby's answer is consistent.
"Alright!" Lea gave up, but then she looked around as if she is looking for something.
"Do you have needles here, don't you?" She asked.
Coby knitted his brows as he looked at Lea, " Why?" he asked.
Lea looked back at Coby with her serious expression.
"I'll stitch your wound!" She said as if it was an easy task.
"..."
Coby was speechless!
'This woman wants to stitch my wound?'
"Are you sure?" Coby asked doubtfully.
"You don't want to go to the hospital to make your wound stitched, so, I just thought, I could stitch it for you!" Lea replied, still in her serious expression.
She secretly observed Coby's reaction, and she saw how he gulped when he heard her!
"Wait for me here," Said Coby before he gets up from his seat.
Lea's gaze followed Coby, " You're going to get a needle?" She asked.
Coby stopped in his track and he turned his head to Kira, " No." he answered.
Lea knitted her brows, "Where are you going then?"
"I'll go to get change my dress," Coby replied.
"So, you agree to go to the hospital?!" Lea asked in surprise.
"I think, it is safer to do it rather than to let you stitch my wound," Coby replied.
"..."
It was Lea's turn to be speechless this time.
'This man doesn't trust me.'
She said inside.
------
Lea went to the hospital with Coby.
"Why do you have to come with me?" Coby asked with his brows knitted when they reach the emergency room.
"I have to make sure that your wound will get stiched," Lea replied plainly.
Coby just took a deep breath!
"Good morning!" The doctor came to the emergency room.
"Good morning Doctor." Lea was the first one to greet the doctor.
"What happened to the patient?" The doctor asked.
"He was almost stabbed the other night, fortunately, he was able to dodge from the attack and all he got is a deep wound on his upper arm," Lea replied.
"Oh! May I see the wound, sir?" The doctor asked for permission.
Coby folded his sleeves upward and showed to the doctor his wound.
"The wound is indeed deep!" The doctor said.
"It is three inches wide, it is better to get this stitched to avoid infections." The doctor added.
"But first, we have to clean your wound before stitching it."
The doctor started to clean the wound before he stitched it.
Lea observed Coby, there are beads of sweat started to pop out on his forehead.
Lea secretly twitches her mouth, 'He was not afraid to put his life in danger or to get stab, but he is afraid of needles?
'Tsk, tsk, tsk' Lea secretly chuckled inside, she suddenly thinks that Coby is a weirdo.
"Could you wait for a moment, I will give your wife the prescription that you need." The doctor said after she finished stitching the wound.
"..."
Lea and Coby were speechless as they looked at each other and then they pull back their gazes.
"Ehem!" Lea pretended to clear her throat, and avoid her gaze to Coby.
She has not seen the faint smile on Coby's lips.

London...
Mr. Fuente went straight to the hospital as soon as he arrived.
There, he met Gaile's manager, the two of them are talking outside Gaile's room.
"Gaile is still asleep, but the doctors said, she is out of danger already," Amanda said.
Mr. Fuente just nodded his head.
"Mr. Fuente, I think, Gaile needs you more, in times like this," Amanda spoke again.
Amanda felt guilty too.
She did not expect that Gaile would do this to her self.
She was just trying to make her realize what could happen to her if she continues being unprofessional.
She is just trying to make her get back to her self again because the Gaile that she talked the other day, is not the Gaile that she used to know.
"I think she's going through something," Amanda added.
"Did something happened during her vacation in S Country?"
Mr. Fuente tried to think for a moment, all he could remember was Gaile's heartbreak.
His daughter might have been too affected by Tim's rejection which made her decide to end her life.
Tim rejected his daughter because of that woman!
These all happened because of that woman!
Mr. Fuente couldn't help but blame Kira.
That woman is the reason why he did not succeed in his plans.
All he wants is the Tan family's wealth.
If that woman did not come to Tim's life, perhaps, he would succeed to all his plan!
His daughter might be able to marry Tim, if that happens, Gaile could inherit at least fifty percent of Tim's wealth.
"Mr. Fuente, I have to go now, I still have an appointment." Amanda bided her goodbye when she did not get a response from the old man.
"Ennn..." Mr. Fuente nodded his head.
Amanda left and Mr. Fuente gets inside Gaile's room.
He walks closer to the bed and looked at Gaile, she is pale, her lips were dry and chopping.
She has dark circles around her eyes, indicating that she is stressed and she got even thinner than the last time he saw her!
Mr. Fuente sigh and then he turns and headed to the couch near the bed.
He sat on the couch and waited for his daughter to wake up.
Almost three hours have passed before Gaile opens her eyes.
Gaile slowly opens her eyes, she blinks slowly as she tried to observe her surroundings.
She still feels weak and dizzy, but she can tell where she is right now.
The first thing she saw is the white ceiling, "Oh, I am still alive." Gaile lazily said to her self.
Gaile tilted her head to her right side and she saw a drip.
"You're awake."
Gaile turned her head to the left side when she heard a familiar voice.
"D-Dad..." Gaile called her dad with her faint voice.
Mr. Fuente gets up from her seat with his serious expression.
He walks closer to the bed and asks, "Why did you do that?!" He asked sternly.
Gaile looked at her dad, and she could see the disappointment in his eyes.
"You did nothing but to disappointment me!" Mr. Fuente said in a raised voice.
