Falling For The Chinese Dragon - [BL] [ONGOING]

Chapter 40 💌

Clyne

"Are you sure he is going to be alright?" A weak yet commanding voice seeps through my heavy slumber. "I know, I might sound really protective, but I am just making sure that he would be able to recover as quickly as possible."

"There is nothing you would worry about, Caleb. I treated the wound in his chest. Such a waste. Poor boy."

"What ever do you mean?" The voice started to become clearer a second after.

"This is no simple case, and you know that. We all know that. He used to be so high, yet some people are really born to be savages, perhaps villains in other people's lives. And this... " The other voice sighed deeply.

"I know. Nagulat rin kami nung tumawag sa amin si Aiken, telling us na may nangyari daw na masama kay Clyne."

It was Caleb's voice. Only his voice has this weak soothing echo.

"Same here. Either way, may duty pa ako sa Makati. I will contact you when the lab results are out, yet I think I know what to expect, but I have to make sure of it." Lumalayo ang boses nito habang nagsasalita, maybe he is leaving, or whatever.

"If ever na mag dress kayo ng wound niya, just call the nurse dito sa Casa. She knows how to handle it very well. Alis na ako ha?" Sambit ng boses bago ko marinig ang pagsara ng pinto.

Sandaling nanaig ang katahimikan ng ilang segundo, nabasag lamang ito nang narinig ko ulit ang malumanay na boses ni Caleb.

"Narinig mo iyon?" Tanong nito sa di ko pa mawaring kausap.

"I am not deaf, Cal. I heard everything the doctor told you."

My heart skipped a beat.

Boses to ni Aiken ah?

Hindi ako umimik. I continued to close my eyes, not moving an inch. I want to hear him speak. I want to hear his voice calling my name–

"Ikaw na bahala sa kanya."

"What do you mean ako na bahala sa kanya? This is Clyne, Aiken! This is your boyfriend. Baka nakakalimutan mo yung sinabi mo sakin noon, that you want to protect him at all cost. Diba? Sabi mo pa noon, you will do everything in your power to defend him from his enemies, base dun sa pinag- usapan niyo ni South." Mataas ang boses ni Caleb, sa sagot nito kay Aiken.

"The hell I care. Sabi ko rin sa'yo, maybe he chose Chase over me diba? And I know he did."

"Pride mo Ver de Zuel!" Sigaw ni Caleb sa kanya.

"What? I just know what is going to happen. It was not my fault na tama ako. This is not about my pride." Mahinahong sagot naman ni Aiken.

I do not know kung ano man ang nauna nilang pinag-usapan, but alam ko na tungkol ito sa akin.

"Then what do you call this is? Hindi ka sigurado na may kagagawan si Chase dito. At mas lalong hindi ka sigurado na si Chase rin ang pinili niya. Ken, this is not you."

Caleb continued to defend me, but Aiken is persistent, almost impenetrable. Ramdam ko rin na hindi siya mapapatinag.

"What made you think na hindi niya kayang gawin yun? It was clear sa sinabi niya! Mas si Chase pa paniniwalaan niya kesa sa akin." Aiken retaliated.

"Stop making baseless assumptions, Ken. You are not helping."

"This is helping." Madiin na sagot ni Aiken. "He better be grateful that I helped him, baka nga ginusto pa niya kung anong nangyari sa kanya eh." Rinig kong sambit ni Aiken, bago kumalabog ang pinto sa lakas ng pagkakasara nito.
