My Lucky Girl

16: Comfort

Lucky's POV

"His father was rushed here just yesterday evening, his secretary said that he immediately collapsed after finishing a call with someone and that someone was actually his son, your friend, Vincent. They say he hasn't woken up since then. It seems that he had already shown symptoms of illness due to stress and lack of sleep because of work, not to mention how his son is living seperate of him and the death of his wife just 2 years ago."

I kept nodding showing how I was listening carefully to every word. After King rushed into the room, my brother started telling me what had happend to King's father.

"Just after I arrived home this afternoon, the hospital called me, saying that they needed my help to check his condition so I went here...I'm sorry if I wasn't able to eat with you today..", My brother said as he looked at me with guilt.

As I scanned his face, I could see that he still hasn't slept properly after that long flight. I knew that he's more than exhausted right now. So I smiled softly and punched his shoulder playfully, "What's there to be sorry about? You're back home safely right? What else could I ask for, hmm?"

He looked at me for a moment and sighed, "I guess you're right.", He said as he stood up from our seat and stretched out his body.

"Welp, I'll be seeing you later or maybe tomorrow. I might stay here longer than expected, so you can go home first. You still have school tomorrow...That is..If you're planning on being absent?", he raised his eyebrows as he crossed his arms and looked at me.

I bit my lip.

I wasn't sure if he'd allow me to..But I feel like King needs me right now...

I don't know why though.

I glanced at the room where King still hadn't left from. I need to be here for him right now...It just feels...right...

"Fine.", he said which made me flinch.

I looked back at Lei who noticed I was spaced out. He smiled at me and patted my head, "You won't listen to me anyway, since you are stubborn after all...So just do what you want.", Then he moved his head to look at the door King was in, "That kid..."

Then he messed my hair and turned his back as he continued,

"...He needs someone like you right now."

I smiled as we had felt the same thing. But just before he could go towards the elevator, I immediately remembered something.

"Okay...You caught me!! I met your brother...well not actually met but he e-mailed me since he was in another country."

"WAIT!, Lei!", I shouted, just before he pressed the button on the elevator. I ran up to him and looked at him sternly. "What's wrong?" ,he said as he looked at me.

"Did you e-mail Jax while you were in the Philippines?", I asked sternly.

He blinked once then scratched his head, "Hehe...'bout that.."

Vince's(King) POV

I looked out the window, on the outside of the hospital building, and saw a bench below a tree.

I suddenly stiffled a laugh as I remembered what had happend yesterday with the idiot girl.

Then I looked back to a while ago, the moment I thought of what she said was the exact same moment I saw her face right infront of me.
