Unspoken

The Drugged Mute Boy Chapter 3

 After about 2 weeks of recovery with Liu his throat was as healthy as it should be, and after being scolded by his girlfriend and the free clinic doctor, Liu wont be pulling anymore talking stunts. Recently the duo had visited Liu's regular doctor who had decided to put Liu under so that they could make sure he hasn't damaged anything else. Thus leading to the predicament Delila has now found herself in. She didn't want them to put Liu under, she was afraid if they put him under, he wouldn't wake up.

"Isn't there any another way you could do this procedure?" Delila asked the doctor for the millionth time, even while knowing she won't get a different answer. "No, Miss... But like I said Lukas has been through this procedure plenty of times so it shouldn't be a problem" the woman says calmly, even though Delila could tell she was frustrated on the inside. Delila bites her lip still not liking the answer. Liu looks down at her, knowing she was, yet again, scared for no reason. She looks up at Liu's mother who had been standing there the whole time watching the problem unravel from her seat on the plush arm chair.

Liu gives his mother a pleading look as he nodded his head to the door, asking if they could give them a moment alone. She smiles, knowing the two were close she agrees, asking the doctor if she could speak to her outside. Once the door closed Liu calmly wraps an arm around her waist pulling her closer to him on the couch they sat on. He pulls out his phone typing in "You know i've been through this a thousand times before, you don't need to worry :)" Delila sighs wrapping her arms around his midsection.

"I know... it's just... I don't like it" She huffs hugging him closer breathing in his scent as he kissed her head. "I just don't want to lose you after all of this..." She mutters and Lui's heart throbs for her, causing him to just want to take her back home, and wrap her in blankets, to make her feel better.

He lifts her chin and kisses her plump lips. Delila acknowledges that, this kiss was somehow different and that he was really pouring his heart onto her lips in an effort to lift her spirits. He pulls away before smiling and typing in "Your so cute~" She smiles hugging him as he rubs her back. Even though he had conforted her, she was still worried about the situation. Losing him would mean losing what she enjoyed in life. Liu hasn't been by her side all her life, but he was there for the most important parts.

Sitting in the waiting room Delila's leg bobbed maniacally as she ate at her bottom lip. "Delila there's no need to worry about him" Liu's mum states with a laugh as she reaches over to hold Delila's hand. Delila sighs and leans back in the chair "Sorry... Liu always told me I was a worry wort" the two woman chuckle. Delila has always been close to Liu's mother, just as Liu was to Delila's mother. Liu has previously had to contact Delila's mother when, Delila would get herself into situations he couldn't help her in. So over time he got closer with her mother.

"I'm going to go grab a snack, ok?" Liu's mum suggests, getting up while ruffling Delila's hair before walking off. Delila smiles at the affectionate gesture before starting to play with the ring on her finger. It wasn't the perfect size, so at the moment the promise ring sat on her middle finger, but it still held the same meaning no matter what finger it was on.

After hours of waiting, Delila rushes into the small hospital recovery room seeing Liu. He was sitting up in bed a smile on his lips, as he looked out the window and his hands fidgeting on his lap. Delila jogs over to the bed and plops herself down on his right, her arms against her chest, not knowing if she could hug him or if it would give him pain. Liu grins lovingly and throws his arms around her, a gleeful sigh on his lips as he kissed her temple. Delila can't help but grin, biting down on her lip as she swung her arms around his neck. Pulling away she presses a big 'ol smooch on his cheek, while resting a hand on the other side of his neck.
