Our ride to the hospital was a swift one and we were quickly ushered into a private room where we would not be disturbed by the staff much.
A few more doctors checked up on us and, after declaring that we were not in critical condition, they decided to leave us be. They did tell us to use two rooms...until Damian glared at them into submission.
By the ti secretary Jason ca around and sorted more things out, Damian had taken care of most things.
As expected, the secretary and those behind him were not very happy with his decision to let remain in the sa room as him.
"Boss, I know that it’s your decision and...good for act, but won’t it beco a security threat?"
The secretary asked, only to look in his boss’s eyes and realize that he had lost already. His boss was not going to listen to a word he had to say.
"Hmm, are you saying that I am weak enough to feel threatened by a person half my size? Or, are you telling that you all are not capable of fending off soone like Jenna?"
He asked, and everyone suddenly paled at his words.
The secretary rubbed his forehead before he gave an almost sorry look.
"Boss, this is not what I am talking about, and you know it. You are not the one I am worried about security-wise...but if you are sure that this is what you want, I won’t stop you."
He told us and, with him dropping the subject, everyone else was forced to drop that as well. Damian very gracefully kicked everyone else out after that and I felt myself relax. Finally, I had so ti to myself....
’Huh-! Am I shaking? But why? The danger has already passed...’
I looked down at my hands, but the slight tremble in them did not ease away. If anything, it seed to be getting worse and worse, and my throat was beginning to feel tight.
Breathing beca hard as I felt my chest being squeezed by an invisible force. At this rate, I was going to faint and...
"Take a slow breath...and good. Let the air out...you are doing great."
The sudden presence of arms around helped ease the tension in my body. I did not even realize all this tension was in my body until I leaned against Damian, who was still in bed.
It took a few seconds to get myself under control. But once I did, I found that I was lying on Damian’s lap.
’When did he place on his lap? Was I that much out of it that I did not even notice?’
Unfortunately, the answer seed to be yes.
Damian’s hand patted my hair and I leaned against him and closed my eyes. It felt...good to have his attention.
"It’s fine. The danger is now over. You are just feeling the aftereffects of all the stress you were under. If you give it so ti, then you will start to feel better."
He told , and his voice was lulling to sleep. I no longer cared how embarrassing this situation of mine was, I just knew that it felt comforting.
Damian also pulled the blanket over my head before he patted a little.
"Go to sleep if you want to. I will keep an eye out."
My eyes closed as I fell into a light sleep. A blanket was pulled over my head and I heard so light sounds from outside just as I fell half-asleep.
Unfortunately, my sleep was interrupted by soone suddenly putting a hand on my shoulder. The sudden, foreign, and harsh touch caused to snap my eyes open and look at the startled nurse.
"I-I am sorry. I made a mistake..."
She blinked as she looked at , then at Damian, and then back at before her face went red and she ran out of the room.
’W-What just happened-?’
"Don’t worry about that nurse. I will take care of her. You should go back to sleep."
Damian told , but unfortunately, that ship had sailed and I could no longer go back to sleep.
__________Damian’s pov
Seeing Jenna leaning against , her expression open, made sothing inside ease up. It felt like a huge burden had been taken off my chest as I looked down at that face. Her sleeping face made feel better.
I had never felt such calmness in my heart as I did while holding Jenna’s sleeping form in my arms.
The urge to lean down and kiss her slightly parted lips was one that I did not want to hold back on. My body leaned forward on its own, but right before I touched her, soone knocked at the door and entered.
I imdiately covered Jenna’s form with the covers.
A nurse who looked too full of herself entered the room and her eyes imdiately landed on .
I sent her a warning not to co closer, but the woman pretended to be blind as she kept walking toward .
She did not even have the decency to check up on before she tried to feel out.
"Mr. Damian, I am here to check up on you. If you want, I can be your private nurse as well. What do you say? We can head out and I can give you a check-up—"
She leaned forward and reached out her hand toward my legs, not looking down to see whether I had sothing there or not.
Her hand imdiately landed on Jenna and the sudden yelp sound escaped the nurse’s mouth as she finally noticed that we were not alone.
Jenna’s eyes were sleep-filled and confused. She looked adorable with her confused expression but I did not like how that expression was caused by soone else who was not .
"I-I am sorry. I made a mistake..."
The nurse quickly took her leave, but not before she kept giving glances to see whether I would say sothing to her or not.
But for such a blind nurse, the only thing I could give her was a permanent leave at her ho.
’Or maybe the one I should lock up is Jenna. Sohow, she always gets hurt when I leave her alone...no, I need to get my head back. I have an oath to fulfill.’
