Daddy’s Hot Sauce

When he arrived at the hospital, all the people were staring at Anders ’cause of the loud sound of his engine upon arrival. When he went out of his car with his hat and black leather jacket, people were staring at him more.

The doctors and nurses took Emily to the emergency room. She was still unconscious at this moment. Anders ran toward the emergency room and waited for the doctor to come out at the door. He was worried and did not expect this from Emily.

Later on, George and some of his men got out of the car and walked straight to the emergency room. The men with him guarded the area as for the public to stop gazing at Mr. Winston.

“Mr. Winston, are you okay?”

He was sitting at the metal bench chair near the emergency room, leaning his elbows on his thighs while his palm was covering his face. The guilt once again struck him like a lightning bolt that surely hit him and that shook his entire system.

Anders just nodded to George without even looking at him, at this moment he was feeling confused and was thinking if he would tell it to her parents.

Then, the door of the emergency room squeaked as it opened. Anders saw the nurses went out and that made him went in front of the door and waited for the doctor to go out.

“Who’s the relative of the patient?”

“Me, I’m her boyfriend,” he seriously looked at the Doctor and was waiting for him to say something.

The Doctor let out a heavy sigh and said, “She’s okay now, her vitals were fine but the bruises on her body were making me worried. Well, I want to know what she has been doing for the past weeks and months.”

Anders quickly answered and said, “She’s only staying at my house and doing some chores,”

“Well, starting today, don’t let the patient be as tired as she was before. I have to do more tests on her but hearing her irregular heartbeat was not a good sign for me as a doctor. You can take her to the other big hospitals for a second opinion. I will give you a recommendation paper for it.” doctor explained to him about Emily’s situation.

“When can she be discharged?”

“When she wakes up, I’ll immediately take a check up on her and if she is fine then, I’ll release the discharge paper or let you move to a bigger hospital.” explained by the doctor.

Then, the doctor turned and walked away to do more rounds on the other patient.

Anders let out a heavy sigh and was quite relieved by the fact that nothing serious happened to her, but he was still hoping that nothing serious happened to her.

“Mr. Winston, shall we call her parents about this?” George asked him as he saw the worry on his face.

“No, not now, we have a deal,” then, he stood once again on the metal stool nearby.

“Call the hospital and I will transfer her. I want the best doctors in that hospital to look after her,” he commanded him and stood firmly.

“Sir, the patient is in room 305 already, you may visit her now,” declare by the nurse.

Anders quickly walked straight to the room and when he entered the room, he saw Emily was lying on the bed. A puncture in his heart made him feel guilty about her situation, and realizing how devil he was to Emily. How tortured he did on him?

“I’m sorry,” he softly said and held her hands.

“I-I did not want you to be on this,” he caressed her hand gently enough to touch his cheeks.

Then, tears streaming down his eyes, all the guilt came out from his tears with all the incidents that had happened to him, to the company and now to Emily.

Emily whimpered as she felt the warm hands of someone and when she slowly opened her eyes, a figure of someone appeared in her sight, she blinked twice and did not expect him to be with him.

“A-Anders?” then she looked around and got more curious, “What are we doing here?”

Then, Emily touched her head and lightly felt the sting pain on it. Memories came back and her eyes widened while she was looking at Anders.

“Please I hate being here,” she worriedly said and looked straight to his eyes, “I want to go home,”

Anders lightly pressed her hands and said, “The doctors wants to make sure you are well enough, but he said you need more rest, Emily,”

He smiled to her and without any of his devil side. He was still holding her hands.

“Ah- my hands please,”

Emily was wondering why he suddenly went on the opposite side, she was trying to remember if she did or said before she passed out but she could not remember anything about that. All she could remember was talking to him about their lives and childhood.

“Tell me. How do you feel now?” he curiously asked, “Are you hungry? George is on his way to grab us some food.”

Emily smiled at him and said, “I’m fine and I’m better than before,”

Anders nodded his head and stared at her for a while and when he felt the fast beat of his heart, he quickly looked on the other side.

Then, silence took them, each of them were trying to open up a topic to talk about something, but both of them felt shy to do it.

“Emily,”

“Anders,”

Both said each other’s name and smiled as they said it together,

Emily cleared her throat and said, “You go first,”

Anders shook his head and said, “You first, c’mon,”

“Well, I was wondering if I could stay at home tonight?” she shyly asked him.

“Of course you are free to do that, anything else?” he said while waiting for her to speak for her other request.

Emily was half mouth opened and could not believe that he could let her be home for tonight. “Are you okay, Anders?”

Then, Emily put her hand on his forehead. “You are not ill or something, Anders but why are you showing me like this? Are you sure you want me to be in my house tonight?”

She looked at him and wanted to make sure about his decision. It was the first time for her to not plead to him so it was shocking for her to see him on the other side.

“I think you should be the one sitting here, and have this tube,”

Anders laughed at her and said, “I didn’t know that you have humor like this Emily,”

“What?! You think I was just joking at you?” then she shook her head and crossed both of her arms.

Then, Anders grabbed her hand and said, “You will never see the old Anders, ’cause the real one is right in front of you,” he winked and kissed her hand.

Emily felt mortified by what he said and did to her, so her cheeks were flushing and felt the heat on it.

“See you look cute whenever you smile,” he added and stared at her face.

“Uh- I- I want to go to the toilet,” she said and wanted to escape from the situation.

“Let me help you, Emily,” he offered his hand to Emily but Emily refused it.

“I-I’m fine, Anders,” then she stood up and carried the metal rod that had the tube that was connected to her arm.

She walked to the toilet and locked the door. Then, she let out a heavy sigh and looked at herself in the mirror.

“Why is he like this? I cannot understand,” she whispered and tappe her chest.

“Stop beating fast while he’s around, stupid heart!”

Then, she turned the sink and let the water flowed on her palms and washed her face. When she went out of the toilet, she looked at Ander who was busy preparing the food on the small table. She lightly shook her head and went to him.

“Anders, I can do this, please sit down and let me-”

But, Emily could not utter the rest of her words instead she shrieked, as Anders suddenly carried her and put her down on the bed.

“I told you, the doctor wanted you to rest and so did you.” he said and was trying to be patient.

He turned and grabbed the small table and put it near to them. Then, he grabbed the spoon and a bowl of soup and was trying to feed her but Emily refused once again.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“I-I can do this Anders,”

Anders felt annoyed by it, so he said, “Eat or I’ll kiss you,”

Then, his brows were not furrowed but Emily could sense his annoyance. She wanted to complain more but she has no words to say to him, having no choice and she obeyed him.
