Day Sixty-Eight…
~~*****~~
Alexander had been sitting in the waiting area of the hospital lobby. He was being guarded and watched by Hanabi, making sure he wouldn't go inside Dave's ward. Alexander was clueless that Dave was still alive and he just proposed to Abigail. Alexander's plan of making Abigail his woman would eventually fail. He couldn't stand a chance against the man whom Abigail truly loved.
'Why do I feel like a high-profile inmate being guarded by a warden?' Alexander lanted to himself. He was sitting on the opposite bench facing Hanabi.
"Are you sure, we don't need to check on her? She might be emotionally unstable right now," Alexander tried to persuade Hanabi once again. He wanted to go and check on Abigail.
But Hanabi vehently shook her head and sternly said, "No need." She was leisurely drinking her cola while Alexander was looking so stiff and bored in his seat.
When he could no longer bear the boredom, Alexander stood up. He needed to find a perfect alibi wherein Hanabi would stop following him.
Hanabi arched her eyebrow and gazed at him suspiciously. "Where do you think you are going?"
"Nature's calling. I need to use the restroom," Alexander casually replied. 'Hmm. Won aren't allowed in the n's restroom,' he added in his thought.
Hanabi stood up and walked over to him.
"Where do you think you're headed?" Alexander asked, his irritation growing. "You're not planning to follow in there, are you?" He scowled at her in disbelief.
Hanabi raised the canned cola and said, "I'm going to pee because I drank this cola. Why? Am I not allowed to go to the comfort room with you?"
Alexander silently uttered a curse; it appeared as though Hanabi had detected his intention to escape her surveillance and search for Abigail. "She's an incredibly persistent woman," he thought to himself.
Wearing a grim expression, Alexander strode forward as if engaged in a silent race with Hanabi. All Hanabi could do was shake her head in helpless disbelief.
'This man… does he think he can elude ?' A cunning smile flashed across her face as she watched Alexander's retreating back.
Alexander quickly entered the restroom for a re ten seconds before stepping out, imdiately checking to see if Hanabi was present. He inwardly smiled upon not finding her, thinking, 'I suppose she didn't sense my true intentions. Perhaps she's still inside the restroom.'
With those thoughts in mind, Alexander decided to make his way to Dave's ward, hoping that Abigail was still there. If he couldn't locate her there, he suspected that Abigail might have gone to the morgue.
He moved quickly to avoid being seen by Hanabi. He took the lift going to the 4th floor of the hospital VIP ward. He wondered what happened to Dave. Why did he suddenly die? Was this also part of Helena's evil plan?
Alexander felt a little bit sorry for Abigail. He had seen her cry so many tis. 'I shouldn't pity her. This happens because it is necessary. I have to win her heart. So maybe removing this guy in the picture will make things easier for .'
Alexander was so lost in his thoughts that he almost didn't realize that he already passed by Dave's ward. He turned around and walked back only to be stopped by the fierce-looking Hanabi. Hanabi blocked his path even before he could grab the doorknob of Dave's ward.
Hanabi stood there with folded arms across her chest. She was sneering at Alexander. "You never listen to . You ignore my warning. Don't bla for doing this."
Before Alexander could react, Hanabi lunged forward, her agile form closing the gap in the blink of an eye. As she advanced, she clutched a pair of handcuffs tightly in her right hand. With lightning speed, she clasped one end of the handcuffs onto his wrist, her movents precise and unwavering.
Alexander's eyes widened in surprise. He was caught off guard by her sudden movent. He struggled, but Hanabi's grip was unyielding. She expertly secured the other end of the cuffs to her left wrist, making sure that he wouldn't be able to leave her side again. She gave him another victorious smile that annoyed Alexander further.
"What do you think you are doing?!" He snarled at her. "Release ! I am not your prisoner!" He complained irritatedly.
Hanabi just shrugged her shoulders, maintaining her mocking smile. "You are coming with . And you are not allowed to enter that room." She started dragging him away from Dave's ward.
They were passersby who witnessed that scene when Hanabi tried to subdue Alexander. The spectators stopped and watched the two, whispering around. They couldn't help but be amazed by Hanabi's amazing moves. They even clapped their hands and raised their thumbs, praising Hanabi.
Alexander's face reddened from both anger and embarrassnt. So many people saw him being captured by this woman. As the great leader of the Red Dragon Mafia, this was the first ti he experienced such humiliation in a public place. And this woman was the cause of this.
'Damn it! If I am not just trying to blow my cover, I should have fought her seriously. For now, I will let her win. But next ti, I won't be rciful. I will make her pay for the humiliation I got today.' Alexander swore to himself, gritting his teeth. In the end, he just obediently followed Hanabi as they went back to the waiting area in the Hospital Lobby.
Several pairs of eyes cast strange glances their way, all because of the handcuffs securely binding Hanabi and Alexander. So couldn't resist speculating that the two were a couple, suggesting they were a perfect match and looked great together.
"When are you going to release ?" Alexander asked in an annoyed tone, his frustration evident. "People are staring at us, giving us strange looks."
Hanabi just ignored him. She just closed her eyes and decided to take a nap.
Alexander tugged her hand and said, "I need to go to the restroom. Now!"
"No. You can't fool twice," Hanabi sternly said.
Alexander massaged his temples and said exasperatedly, "This ti it's for real. I have to go to the CR."
