03. being bound by dark thorns

For Brian, if he said what he went through that caused him to hurt so badly to someone he just met, what he would definitely think was, would that person feel scared, or would he feel sorry?

he was just not sure if the person would listen, and accept his condition once he had explained everything. because of one thing he didn't know, that he didn't remember anything about flashes of memory, and also why he was so able to survive even though he was in a weak condition and also full of wounds.

other than that, his attention was instead focused on the quiet girl.

( So you're Doctor Damien's cousin, huh? I hope that I really want to thank you too.

you are so silent, and you look like sad. But, why do I feel that I've met you before? and, why you was shaking just like that?

Well, there's so much I want to know, but maybe I'll find out later.

suspecting people who saved my life is rude for me. )

Unfortunately, he can only obey the words of a clinical doctor to rest until he is brought food, and also have to re-examine his body condition..

meanwhile, Damien was preparing warm porridge.

but Emily just sat there watching.

" I know I haven't eaten yet, Emily. but I can't ignore my patients. " he said.

He understands that Emily used to live with her parents in a small restaurant.

because at that time, he sometimes took the time to visit and also enjoy simple but delicious food. Unfortunately, he was last there exactly a week before the fire incident.

because the only memory he felt was that porridge was taught by Emily's mother.

" emily, get me a bowl and also a spoon over there, please! "

But when it comes to helping patients, Emily always wants to help.

Damien might be able to do anything, but he felt that he was forcing himself to be able to endure the dizziness caused by late eating.

even when he finished and immediately drove to Brian's room, he still continued to hold back his dizziness. even though emily is still following him.

After a while, they entered the room. but saw Brian was asleep.

but when Damien was about to put the porridge, it made Brian wake up.

" ah. you awake! I can only serve you porridge. I hope it matches the taste, considering your body has to digest soft food first. "

" thank you. "

while waiting for Damien to prepare a place to eat that can be used by Brian as long as he can't move his body, he looked at Emily for a moment.

even Emily saw Brian, though she was shaking and scared too.

until..

" Sorry that I haven't told you this before. thanks for helping me. I'm sorry to bother you. and also about the flower garden. " he said while bowing his head

hearing that, Emily just nodded while closing her eyes, and she just walked out of the room.

" uhm doc. "

" yes. "

" is she always silent, i mean.. Is it because I just said thank you to her? " he said surprised.

" eat this first. then we can talk, remember! ( something wrong with the way he remembers. ) "

" oh yeah. "

he let Brian eat the porridge first while waiting, while he also thought about Brian's condition earlier.

quite a long wait, and finally Brian finished the porridge..

" ok doc, i'm done. "

" good. Now, let me re-examine your condition as we speak. because you have to wait 1 hour to be able to lie back down to recover your body again. "

Even though Damien was still pushing himself, he still prioritized examining the patients he treated.

until..

" I don't know how to explain first. because what I remember is... "
