At 2 in the afternoon, the light in the operating theater turned green, soon after, the exhausted Elios came out with a weak smile.
"The operation is successful, his life will be out of danger once he passes through the night successfully." He pinches the bridge of his nose and continues. "I'll send him to the ICU for monitoring." His voice sounded weak and exhausted.
Seeing Elios's pale and exhausted face. Duke exhaled and felt a little relieved. "I'll send Eagle to the ICU to assist, just let him do the monitoring and take a rest so you can run when you are needed."
Elios did not turn down his good intentions and nodded at Duke, he came back to the operating theater to push out the man and wheeled him to the ICU together with Hawk.
The man was bandaged up like a mummy, only his eyes, nose, and mouth were left visible. Even his hair was skimmed and there was a little blood stain on the left side of his head. He must have received some stitching in there too.
Duke carefully observed the person lying on the bed that was being wheeled out, "He really does look wretched." Duke thought.
The man looked pitiful as he lay there like a dead man, Elios even had to give him an oxygen mask to support his breathing and all kinds of monitoring equipment was attached to his body to monitor his weak vitals that could stop at any time.
All these things are giving him a headache and did not know where to start aside from waiting. He knew that he had no time to wait but he couldn't force his subordinate to wake up to extract some information that would lead to compromising his health when he was already like this.
He massages his temple, he inhales deeply and exhales to try to calm his mind. He repeated it until he felt his headache subside a little and he intended to head back to rest but was soon pulled by Kisha to head into his office. He was puzzled as to what she was planning with that little head of hers that she looked so serious.
No matter what she's up to, he just lets her drag him anywhere without any reluctance or annoyance. He even kind of enjoyed her little touch and the feeling of trust that she had for him.
He felt his headache disappear without a trace, her warm and soft hand gave him comfort that was reaching his chest. He wanted to bask in that warm comfortable feeling that he had never felt before, without him realizing that he was already smiling and looking at Kisha dotingly.
So when they reached the office and Kisha turned to face him, she witnessed his affectionate expression that she had never seen before. She was beyond shocked and stared at him absentmindedly. He was beyond gorgeous when his eyes sparkled when he smiles, it was so captivating that it could suck you in and be lost in indulgence and his sexy lips were not just forming an arc but it was smiling with relaxed facial muscles which shows the sincerity behind that smile. He looked so handsome that even Kisha, who spent years with him was taken by surprise. She was swooned over by that smile, that face!
She only saw him frown, angry and most of the time had an indifferent expression. Those are the expressions she's used to seeing on Duke's face, but lately, she noticed that the Duke in front of her did not align with the one in her memory. This Duke had more variety of raw emotions that he was willing to show than before.
Somehow, she felt heartache for him, she did not know what Duke had gone through in her previous life before she met him, for him to end up so detached and unfeeling.
"That's where you are wrong host." 008's childish voice rang in her mind. Bringing her to her senses.
Duke was silently watching Kisha's face change in a matter of seconds and he felt amused. The beautiful cold rose he had seen for the past three days had this cute side to her, and it was enough to tug at his heartstrings. His smiles turned even more affectionate.
She cleared her throat and calmed her wild thoughts. "I was thinking that you might be worrying for your subordinate that was brought in." She took out a small bottle containing a blue fluid out of her pocket. "Since the operation is successful, you could give him this to speed up his recovery." freewebnσvel.cøm
