Forbidden Love [COMPLETED]

Chapter 56

Freen settles down in the cafeteria alongside Nam for their lunch. She expects Becky to walk in any moment, and the thought alone makes her feel giddy imagining all that they did just minutes before. She chuckles to herself and looks back down to her food, only then she notices Nam's piercing gaze on her.

She frowns, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Nam smiles in amusement, "Like what?"

She points a warning finger at her, "Like that!"

Nam turns in her seat scrutinizing Freen from head to toe, "I don't know. You're glowing, totally opposite of how I saw you earlier."

Freen sighs and shifts her attention back to her food, "No I'm not."

"Oh!!" Nam suddenly exclaims not only catching Freen's attention but also everyone else's. Freen smiles at them apologetically and glares at Nam who leans closer to her and whispers something, "You did the deed!!"

Freen shakes her head not looking at her and giving her the smug satisfaction, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Then why are you looking so flustered?" Nam teases raising a brow at her.

Freen sighs deeply and faces Nam, "Fine. We did."

"Eww. Gross!! You couldn't wait until you both got home?" Nam says making a gagging noise.

Freen scoffs, "No I couldn't. Besides we have two little girls at home. It's not like we can have sex infront of them whenever we want."

Nam furrows her eyesbrows, "Double gross!!"

"I remember all about your sexcapades." Nam says clearly not ready to let the subject go.

"Remember what?" Heng asks joining their table.

Nam chuckles, "Freen and Becky doing it in the hospital, in the on call rooms, oh my god!! Where else have you done it? So that we can steer clear."

Freen gives her a pointed look, warning her to stop. 

"Remember the one time when the new interns walked in on them and they became the talk of the hospital for days?" Heng says joining the teasing. 

Freen closes her eyes and sighs exasperated. Some best friends she have.

"Did you also know that Freen saw them walking in and still kept going?" Nam emphasizes.

Freen chokes on the coffee and spills it all over. Heng's eyes open comically wide as he yells, "What???"

"Nam!!! I told you that in confidence." Freen whines.

Nam shrugs, "It's just Heng."

"Tell me more." Heng asks.

"There's nothing to tell." Freen says frowning.

"Don't be such a bore." 

Freen smacks him in his arms looking offended, "I'm not." 

Nam chuckles amused, "As I was saying, she kept going but poor Becky had anxiety for days when she found out."

Freen scoffs and crosses her arms over her chest defensively, "They should have known when to knock."

"Is that the only reason?" Heng asks teasing. Freen glares at him, a pout on her face.

"Come on! We are talking about Freen here, she was probably claiming what is her's, so that they will keep their claws off Becky." Nam added teasingly.

"What are we talking about?" Kade asks joining them.

"Freen's sex life."

Freen freezes with her mouth half open.

She yells throwing her arms in the air, upset, "Guys!!" 

Kade laughs amused, "Oh! I'm all in."

"So what caused the draught in the evergreen?" Kade asks intrigued.

Freen looks at her curiously, "You knew we weren't doing....you know?" She stutters.

"Sex?" Kade laughs out loud. "Yes gurl!! I think the entire hospital knows. Your sexual tension was way off the charts."

Freen sighs thinking about everything that had happened. In a span of few hours she went from thinking Becky no longer fancied her to having sex in the on call rooms, not once not twice, she can't even remember how many times they went, "I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know?" Nam asks.

Kade frowns, "You didn't talk?"

Freen shakes her head no, "All I did was say sex, and she jumped.."

"Your bones?" Nam added teasing.

Freen only nodded in reply.

"You should talk to her."

They are right she should talk to Becky and clear the air. She made a mental note to find Becky as soon as she finishes lunch. Just then the emergency alarms went off.

Code Black. Code Black. Code Black.

They all looked at each other in shock before scrambling to get up.

"What the hell is a Code Black for?" Nam hears Billy asking to no one in particular.

"A bomb." Nam responds.

"Shit!" He curses running after them abandoning his tray.

All of them soon find themselves just outside the ER, where a big crowd was already forming.

"Chief the police are five minutes out." Danny says joining them out of breath.

"What the hell happened?" She demands.

"I was working in the ER, it was almost the end of my shift when a patient was rolled in with minor injuries. But as it turns out he had a bomb strapped to himself and he is holding everyone in the ER hostage."

Freen's heart skipped a beat, not the good kind, "How many people are we talking about?"

"It was a slow day, probably five to six patients, around four attending nurses and the two doctors on duty." He says fidgeting with his fingers clearly distressed. Freen had a feeling there was more to this than he was admitting.

"Who were on duty today?" Heng asks.

"Saint and Mind." Freen says already making out a plan to handle the crowd and get things under control once the police and the bomb squad comes in.

"No." Danny says which draws Freen attention back to him.

She frowns, "What do you mean no? I assigned the chart."

"Mind was feeling sick and someone else filled in for her." He says.

There it was, she knew who it was. She could feel that suffocating feeling in her chest. She still hoped it wasn't the case as she looked at him for an answer. He shakes his head, clearly concerned and with sympathy, "It's Becky."

"Saint and Becky trapped in a situation like that? If they don't tear each other apart I'm pretty sure the bomb will." She hears someone from the crowd saying, which only added more salt to the wound. It was true that they couldn't handle a situation like this together. They were always at each other's throat. Saint always makes it known that he is out for blood, especially Becky's.

"Freen.." Nam calls sensing the distress in her best friend's face.

"I have to go." Freen says walking away without another word.
