Deep In Thoughts

Ah Si hesitantly went forward. The more he walked forward, the better he could see her chapped skin and her lips that were beyond dry. He wasn't prepared to face her and for the first time, Ah Si hesitated. He paused his tracks and he turned around to leave the room.

When he was close to the huge door, a soft mumbling sound could be heard. He paused and looked back.

The pale girl was trembling and her face was filled with perspiration all over. He didn't know what was happening and panicked, running towards her. He held her hand and with the collar of his shirt, he wiped her sweat. He didn't know why she was trembling and the anxiety in him settled making him more panicked. He looked around multiple times and when he saw the little red button, he pressed it without wasting anymore time.

Soon, doctor's and nurses rushed in to the ward and all of them were running around to hold back the trembling girl. Ah Si noticed the out of control situation and his heart dropped to the pit of his stomach. He stood up and wayed to the back of the room, while looking at her.

Her hands and body were trembling beyond belief. He wanted to help, raised his trembling hands and even went forward but when he saw her vulnerable situation, he paused. The nurses held her hands and they bought a bowl of cold water and piece of cloth on the small stretcher. At the side, the doctor looked at the patient amd with his pen light, he opened her eyes and with confusion clouded on his face, he suddenly looked at the panicked stricken face of Ah Si.

He slowly let go of her hands and stood up.

Picking the nearby injection, he injected her and soon the shaking and trembling body calmed down.

Her breath was now even and her face was sweating. The nurses sat next to her and wiped her face with the cold water and the piece of grey cloth.

Ah Si noticed the situation and noting that she was calm, he let go of the long held breath he held in for too long.

The doctor noticed him and with his old and wrinkly hands, he touched Si's shoulders to comfort him. He indicated with his gaze to the door and soon both of them left.

"Doctor, is she okay? What happened earlier?" He looked lost and panicked as he asked.

"The patient is fine, however her fractured bone needs time to heal. Also, Young Master, do you know what that injection was for?" The doctor solemnly asked him, yet confusion and worry was on his old, yet knowledgeable eyes.

Ah Si noticed the seriousness on his face and his already palpitating body worsen. He clenched his hands and asked with a calm and collected tone.

"It was a medicine to calm one's anxiety disorder.".

"Anxiety disorder?" Ah Si was ready to hear anything, but hearing those words, his shoulders shrugged and his heartbeat increased. He looked at his surroundings fathomlessly and his hearing was somehow blocked, unable to hear anymore words.

"I have never seen anyone who had panic attack in their unconsciousness. She must have had this disorder for a long time now. Had she consulted with a psychiatrist yet?"

Ah Si eyes traced back to the huge white door and he shook his head. Noticing the nurses that went by and looked at him, he excused himself and his legs moved forward. Without his knowledge, he was already in the room again looking deep in his thoughts.

Days have passed by and the ward which was empty and cold was now replaced with her natural caramel scent and the blooming flowers on the sides.

"Ugh, Bebo, how long are you going to be here? It is almost a week now. You have to go home and let me take care of my sis-in-law, okay?"
