Rubies In The Night Sky

Chapter 18

Lexi's POV:

Yay. A whole month of recovering in the hospital.

Everyone giving me pity eyes every time they came to see me.

People from other areas of the utopia gave me teary eyes. Liam telling me that he still loves me. Belle jumping at me and hugging the crap out of me. Hannah and Josh getting more protective of my health. Kite making the girls from our area, to make a lot of food when I get out of the hospital later today. It has been too much when I was in recovery.

As long as my wounds aren't opening.

I hate how everyone gave me pity eyes. I'm fine, they don't have to be that worried. I'm going to be the same before I was attacked by Maverick. Just fine.

Right now, I'm sitting on a bench in a little garden outside of the hospital.

I'm wearing hospital pajama pants, my black bandage wraps around my breasts, a white v-neck to cover my upper body, and a gray blanket wrapped around my body. I have my panda slippers, warming up my feet.

I was surrounded by beautiful cherry blossom trees. In front of the bench that I'm sitting on, there is a pond with seven turtles. Baby turtles to be exact. We found them in a house in Licht, just laying there on the floor.
Phil had to get sensitive and wanted to bring them back with us.

I actually have to thank him for that, these baby turtles are actually relieving my stress. Just watching the baby turtles swimming, enjoying the water surrounding them, makes me feel a little bit of joy.

It's getting chilly. I sat on the bench Indian style, and wrapped the blanket tighter around my body.

I don't want to go back inside. I was already fed 5 times, literally. I'm not going back in my hospital room, I'm too full. I appreciate everyone's concern about my eating habits, especially Liam, Belle, Hannah, Josh, and Kite, but they don't need to worry anymore. I'm already a good 121 pounds.

There was something warm on my lap. I look down and I see Alou, the gray wolf pup. I bring my arm out of my blanket and gently rubbed the top of her head. Alou purred and stood up on her two back legs, her front legs on my chest. 

"Are you trying to kiss me?" I playfully ask the adorable wolf pup.

I place my hands on the sides of Alou to hold her still. Alou started yipping in excitement. She licked at my cheek and gave me a little wolf laugh.

Her hazel eyes looked deeply into my natural born red eyes, and Alou gave me a baby wolfish smile. I didn't smile, but my chest felt warm.

I guess Alou understood that my chest felt warm because she kept licking my cheek. I kiss the little black heart by Alou's ear and she purred.

I hug Alou and wrap the blanket around the both of us. I had one hand bringing Alou to my chest, and my other hand holding the two ends of the blanket, to block the cold air from coming near us.

I heard Alou whimper, so I put her down on my lap. Once I placed her there, I saw the wolf pup stare at my wounds. She stared back into my eyes and gave me a little whimper.

I place my hand on top her head and said, "Don't worry. I'm not dead, I'm fine. I've already recovered from these wounds. All you need to worry about is your own family." I brought Alou to my chest to hug her, and she licked my cheek again.

I kissed Alou on the top of her head. "Let's just stay here for a while, then we'll go back to my hospital room. I don't want both of us to be sick."

Kite's POV:

"I know that the both of you are worried, but this is ridiculous," I told Liam and Josh.
