ROYALE

Chapter 29

Type was the first one to run to the ward where Puifai was. It was the first time for him to see how damaged she was. Half of her face were covered with bandage.

The guilt washed over Type and suddenly his eyes became teary. He took a step to approach Puifai but Tharn held his hand.

Tharn knew Type was still unstable. He was afraid by seeing Puifai would trigger his trauma. But Type insisted to go to the hospital with him.

Type turned his head only to assure his husband that he was okay. Tharn let go of Type's hand and the later guy strode his way to Puifai's side.

"Puifai..." Type called the girl that looked weak on the bed softly.

Puifai couldn't talk since her vocal chords got a shock from the beating behind her head. She was tearing up too, Type wasn't the only one.

Type sat down on the chair next to Puifai's bed, he then grabbed her hand with both of his hands. "I'm sorry..." He began to cry. His shoulders were shaking. "I... I should have protected you... But I..." His sentence stopped when Puifai suddenly gripped his hands tightly.

Type frowned upon seeing the enlarging eyes of her. He followed her gaze and found a new guest was coming into the room.

She was trembling and seemed in fear.

Lhong came in with a big bouquet of sunflowers. He walked to where Puifai and Type were, "Oh God, I finally meet you two!" He exclaimed as he put the flowers on the table and came to hug Type first.

Tharn twitched seeing that. He almost barked but Type was smiling while hugging back the other guy. He pursed his lips as he settled himself on the couch.

"How are you feeling?" Lhong inqueried.

Type replied as he pulled back, "I've got no wounds. And I think I'm getting better." He crafted a smile.

Type got back to his seat and Lhong had shifted his gaze to Puifai. "How do you feel?" He asked softly.

Type turned his gaze to her as well, but he felt Puifai's fingers were trembling as she reached for Type's. She held him tight. Type elevated his brows in wonder.

She glanced at Type with teary eyed. She's... afraid of Lhong...? The thought entered his mind.

He answered Lhong on behalf of Puifai, "She just woke up. And can't speak due to the shock." He squeezed Puifai's hand to ensure her that he was there with her.

"Ahh... that's what I heard... and the guard finally let me in. I've tried to get in for several times but they said no one could come here unless it's the Royale." He nodded in understanding. "I'm glad that I can see you both again. It's a miracle that you both survived."

Type squinted his eyes a little before he put his usual poker face again. He looked at Puifai only to witness her glaring at Lhong.

There must have been something behind it all and he was sure it wasn't pretty at all.

Suddenly the door was creaked opened and Max's head slipped in only to call Tharn to get out. Max and Tul had been staying on guard at the hospital since they brought Puifai here.

It was Forth's order because he was busy digging into the incident that happened two weeks ago.

Tharn glanced at Type since he wasn't sure to leave him. But the younger guy gave him a nod. So Tharn got out of the room and followed Max.

Tharn was brought to the parking lot with Max by his side. He spotted Forth's black car and proceeded to get on it to meet its owner.
