Chapter 9 Leave

They both arrived at the hospital after a few minutes, the look of worry and panic was so evident on the so-called ice cold faced guy, he was looking like his soul had left him after he heard the news, they both rushed into the hospital building and met the nurse they saw by the counter.

"Please, are you Nurse Anna?" Vin asked the lady politely despite the urgency in his voice.

"Yes, how may I be of help to you?" She replied politely.

"I'm Mr Vincent, you called me earlier on the case of Miss Rachel", he turned and saw that Zech was running out of patience.

"Okay, um.. Miss Rachel is now in the intensive care unit, she had just regained consciousness a few minutes ago, don't worry she's recovering fine", she said to them and smiled.

Zech's shoulders dropped in relief, he thought she was still in a critical condition, but listening to the nurse now made he feel a little bit relieved but he wanted to see her so he walked closer to the nurse and asked.

"Can we see her now?" he asked her with a plain face, masking his emotions.

"Yes of course, her room is just by the right down the hall, No.109, " she said smiling.

"Let go" he told Vin, they were about moving when the lady halted them with what she said.

"Mr Oliver, do well to trust her and treat her well" she said with a smile and left to attend to other patients.

"What was that about, how the hell does she even Know me and my name?" Zech asked Oliver in a rather confused manner.

"I think she's a seer, that's the only explanation I can come up with" he replied and turned to face Zech who was still staring at the retreating figure of the nurse, "let go".

They both head towards the direction the nurse gave them, and they found her room, when they entered she was laying on the bed asleep like a helpless damsel in distress, Zech subconsciously moved towards the bed and pushed the strings of her hair behind her ear, he felt his fingers tingle from the feelings of touching her skin, he kept staring at her.

He could clearly see her long lashes, her beautiful soft skin and hair moisturizing attracting lips, he leaned closer, their face was meters away, he had never really seen her so up close before, but her eyes fluttered open. There was a shocked expression on her face, so I pulled back slightly.

She slowly tried to sit up, wincing in pain as she struggled to sit, when I offered to help but she pushed my hands off, "What are you doing here?" I asked in a rather angry tone.

"We heard you were admitted so we decided to come check up on you" Vincent said to her.

"Thanks, I'm fine you shouldn't have come anyways" she said, not bothering to look at them.

"Rachel I know you're angry at us, well mostly him, you have every right to be, but I hope you would just hear us out" Vin tried to reason with her.

"There's nothing to talk about, I messed up and I wasn't even given a chance to explain, I don't see what else there is to talk about" I was clearly trying to contain my anger, I really wanted to lash out on him, but on a second thought what would it change.

"Rachel… I'' he was interrupted by the opening of the door to her room, revealing a man with a bag on His hands, who seems oddly familiar to him.

He entered the room and walked past Zech and Vincent walking towards her and sat close to her. "Is everything okay?" he asked, looking from Rachel to the two men standing in front of her.

"Yes they were just leaving", she said nonchalantly, not still looking at him.

"Did you get the food?I'm famished" she told him, smiling at him.

"Yeah, I didn't know which you'd prefer so I got several different kinds", he told her shly.

"Well thank you, I'd eat anything, I'm not a picky eater anyways", she told him smiling.

Meanwhile on the other hand, Zech aura was beginning to engulf the room, he clenched his fist in anger, his face was void of any emotions, he kept staring daggers at the man sitting close to her, "Rachel.. I" he was stopped by Vin who interrupted him.

"We will drop by some other time miss Rachel" he said smiling at her and then he tapped Zech on the shoulder signaling him to stop pushing, "let's head back" They both left the room.

"Here", he handed her the food to her, Rachel took the food and began devouring it.

"Thank you" she said with food in her mouth, she smiled at her naughtiness.

"No offense, but is he your boyfriend? He asked cautiously.

Rachel immediately choked on the food, due to the sudden question she had not expected that he was going to ask such.

"Easy easy, I'm sorry I didn't mean to pry" he apologized to her.

"No, don't apologize I'd be curious if I were in your shoes, well he was my Boss, but we had issues" she said in a slightly hurt tone.

"Mind telling me what it is? He asked her politely.

"I'm sorry, I don't really wanna talk about it, " she said, facing her food back.

"It's alright, remember I'll be here anytime you're ready to talk about it, " he said , smiling and patting her hair gently.

Rachel blushed at the little gesture, after a few minutes she was done with her food and then she handed the empty back to him, before sipping a little bit of water, "thank you Mr…".

It then dawn on her that she hadn't even asked his name, she raised her head and stared at him shyly,

"I hadn't even asked for your name all this while, I'm sorry so What your name".

"I'm sorry, it's not your fault, it's mine I didn't tell you earlier, I'm Peter, Peter Dean. He told her.

"Peter, wow a nice name for a handsome man like you", she said smiling.

"Thank you milady," he said, extending the joke. Beep a message came on his phone, he brought it out and read it and turned to face her, "I'll be leaving you now miss Rachel duty calls" he told her smiling.

"Thanks for accompanying me, I really appreciate it. She said honestly and smiled back at him.

"I'll be back, later okay" he said and leaned in to peak her which took Rachel by surprise before he turned and left.

Rachel was still in a daze, when he left before the sound of the door closing snapped her from her daze and she blushed and layed on the bed, her thoughts drifting back to the soft look on Zech's face from earlier, but he frown remembering what occurred a few days ago, she then slowly drifted to sleep
