Entangled in

54. Blood vs Heart (Part 2)

L's POV

I know that she's back in Korea. I had a private detective keep an eye on her since the very day she left Korea and they told me she's back in town since 3 days ago. They even got her new cell number which I was keeping just in case she makes a move to get back in Krystal and Naeyeon's lives. I can use it as a threat to her.

She was screaming at the phone as I told her that Naeyeon passed out in the park. I told her she was just fine but suddently lost consciousness. I told her which hospital we're in.

She didn't ask me where I got her number.

"Did she turn blue?" Amber asked on the phone

"No"

"What did you guys do before she passed out?" Amber was panicking on the phone.

"Nothing, we were eating ice cream"

"ICE CREAM? What kinfd of ice cream?"

"A normal one" I got defensive.

"What flavor? What's in it?"

"Chocolate"

"Only that?"

"Yeah!" I got even more defensive "With caramel and peanuts" I said

"FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU L!" She was screaming at the phone, cursing so loud "Don't you know that Naeyeon is allergic to peanuts?!! She's in shock because of you! I'm coming!"

She hung up on me. I ran to the nurse and told her what Amber told me. She nodded and went to the ICU.

About 15 minutes later, I heard someone call my name, I turned around only to fall to the ground as someone punched my face.

"YOU! What have you done?! What have you done to MY daughter?!" Amber was shaking in rage. She gave me a second blow to my face before the security came and held her "Sir, please! This is a hospital. Calm down or we have to call the police"

"Are you okay, Sir?" The nurse helped me get up on my feet.

I nodded and whiped the blood from my broken lips.

"If anything happens to her, I swear to God, I'll cut you into pieces" Amber said, glaring at me, trying to free herself from the security guards.

"Call the police" the nirse said to the guards.

"No" I said "She can tell you information about the girl"

"She?"

"Her" I pointed at Amber.

The nurse looked at me and Amber confusedly. "She's a girl" I said again.

"Can you tell me about the girl?" The nirse approached Amber.

"Yes, she has an allergy on peanuts. Is her school bag here? There must be a list there." Amber looked around. I pointed to the school bag at the corner. She ran to it and opened it "Krystal, I mean her mother and I, we always keep a copy of her allergy pass in her bag. It must be here" She opened the bag and pulled out a red papper "Here you go"

"Thank you" the nurse looked impressed "And what about her heart condition?"

"TAPVC, operated on the first month and the second operation was 14 months ago. I wasn't at the last check up but I talked to some friends, it must be for about 3 weeks ago and everything is okay. She took some medication but only for the first 6 months. Her cardiologist is Ms. Song from the central children's hospital. I'll call her and ask her to send you Naeyeon's records."

The nurse nodded, she looked at Amber and said, "I'm sorry, but may I ask what you are to her?"

"I'm her Da——" Amber didn't finish her words "I'm an old friend of her mother"

"Well, they're lucky to have friend like you" The nurse said before she disappeared in the ICU.

I stared at the ground.

Amber was walking back and forth.

We didn't exchange words or looked at each other in the eyes. I think her worry for Naeyeon exceeded than her anger for me, that's why she isn't trying to kill me now.

After a while someone called for "Naeyeon's family"

I didn't move a muscle while Amber ran to the doc. They were talking but I wasn't really listening. Only at the end I heard Amber's voice "Can I see her?"

"Yes. How are you related to Naeyeon, Sir?"

People always mistook her as a guy.

"I'm her Daddy" Amber said

"Wait, I thought the man over there is the girl's father?" I saw the doc point at me.

"He is. It's....complicated"

"Well if no one objects" The doc waited for my respond, whichI didn't give.

"Okay, Sir. You may see your daughter"

I didn't move. I wasn't sure how to feel yet.

My cell rang.

It said "Krystal" on display. I picked up.

"Did something happed?!" Her voice was in panic.

"Naeyeon is in hospital" I answered weakly.

"Wh——What?! What do you mean?" I could hear her crying "What happened? Where are you? Is she alright?!!"

"She's fine"

I gave her the hospital name and address before I hung up.

Numb.

I felt numb.
