How to Tame My Beki Casanova? (Casanova #1: Nathan Macintosh) - COMPLETE

Chapter 29

The pungent smell of medicine and hospital lingers slowly in my nostrils as I inhale deeply from my consciousness. Nagising na lang ako sa mahimbing na pagkakatulong ng maramdaman ko ang malambot na kamang hinihigaan ko kasabay ng may kung anong humahawak sa kamay ko. Nang bahagya kong buksan ko ang mga mata ko, agad na bumugad sa'kin ang kulay puting kisame saka muling ipinalibot ang paningin sa kwarto. Everything was painted in cream white. Walls. Curtains. Tiles.

There is hospital equipment everywhere. Aside from those things, I noticed a small table and black L-Sofa on the corner which is made for the visitors.

"Madam Linux. Good morning, how are you feeling?" Wika ng babaeng may hawak sa kaliwang kamay ko. Agad akong napatingin sa kanya saka napakurap-kurap ng makilala ko siya. It is nurse Chilla, yung magandang kapatid ni Jayden. Oh my—I thought kukunin na ako ni bro. W-what happened?

The rays of the sunlight strike upon the reflection of the windows as it brightens the whole place and the atmosphere.

"C-Chilla?" Mahinang sabi ko saka muling ibinaba ang tingin sa kamay kong may naka kabit na suwero. Chila smiled at me softly as she pats my hand before she placed it on my side carefully. Nang matapos nitong tanggalin ang IV sa kamay ko, tumingin ito sa'kin saka kinuha ang gamit niyang pang BP sa gilid ng kama ko. Kunot ang nuo ko habang pinapanood lamang siya. There is nothing wrong in body. Sandali kong pinakiramdaman ang sarili bago nagsalita muli.

"What happened, Chilla? Why I am here?" Saad ko sa kaniya ng may halong pagtataka sa boses ko. I was beyond confused. How come I am here if I remember I was in my unit, laying on my bed and sleeping after I cried because my butter-- Oh God, Nathan. Of course he is mad at me. Ano ba kasi ang nalaman niya?

Hindi ko mapigilang maluha uli dahil sa naalala ko—starting from the deal with Adrian's family to Nathan's madness. I don't want to stress myself from these problems but it concern my welfare and my child. Hinaplos ko ang tiyan ko ng maramdam ako ng kauntin kirot mula sa puson but I didn't let Chilla notice that.

Calm down, Claire. Calm down, Claire.

"Madam Claire, you were unconscious and blee—"

Naputol ang sasabihin ni Chilla ng bigla na lang bumukas ang pintuan saka iniluwa doon si Nathan na walang emosyon ang mukha. He is wearing a dark gray three-piece suit which hugs his perfect lean figure. Magulo ang buhok niya na para bang ilang beses nitong pinaandar ang mga daliri niya roon dahil sa inis or kung ano man ang rason.

He has dark bags under his eyes and he looks really tired but he has this guts to remain stoic as he gazed at me and Chilla. Mas malamig pa sa Alaska ang tingin niya habang malalaki ang hakbang na lumakad papunta sa'kin. Nathan's lips are pressed in a small thin line, frowning—kitang kita ang gatla sa gitna ng magkasalubong nitong kilay.

"Mr. Macintosh." Narinig kong bati ni Chilla. Her sweet voice lingers all over my room. Nang hindi siya sagutin ni Nathan, yumuko ito saka nagpaalam na lalabas na. But before nurse Chilla could, he spokes coldly without looking at her way. His eyes bore at me—shet, kung nakakamatay ang pagtitig malamang nasa hukay na ako ngayon. I shook my head mentally saka ibinaba ang tingin sa tiles habang pinag lalaruan ang mga daliri ko. I bit my bottom lips to avoid myself from crying pero hindi na rin mapigilan ng mga mata ko kaya hinayaan ko na lang na bumagsak ang malalaking patak ng mga luha ko.

"Please call Dra. Stacey and tell her Claire is already awake." Wika nito na ikinatango ni nurse Chilla saka mabilis na tumakbo papalabas bago isara ang pinto ng kwarto. Nathan stood there, looking down at me without saying anything else.

My eyes started to water as he looks at me coldly— I can feel it though. His eyes never leave mine at walang buhay na nangungusap iyon. The intensity of the silver eyes becomes stronger as he sits on the free space beside me.
