Ch. 13 [Healing Potion Used]

"Um ... I already have a husband," said the nurse, embarrassed.

He played his hands as if he was hesitant to say it. His face was flushed like a tomato too, the same time Noah felt embarrassed when she had misunderstood the floating screen.

"Ah, that."

'I have to get this straight.'

Noah quickly corrected what he meant. The nurse made him uncomfortable. Ah, that nurse is one of the people that Noah's Mother yelled at. Due to his negligence in looking after Noah who was lying on the cold bed of the best hospital in Seojal City.

"I'm not talking to you, but talking to the floating window earlier," explained Noah, which hurt the nurse.

Even so, the nurse did not understand what Noah was saying. She tilted her head indicating that he did not understand. It was because the nurse did not experience [Awakening].

She cast his gaze with his innocent face; it seemed like she was looking for the floating window Noah had said just now.

'This woman doesn't understand what I'm saying,' thought Noah, finally staring tiredly at the nurse. He tried to smile to cover up the tiredness in himself that had made other people feel confused.

"I'm not talking to you, miss," he said briefly intending to explain what he had just said. With what Noah had just said, he hoped the nurse would understand.

"A- ah, alright ...."

The nurse finally could only nod his head even though curiosity was still raging in his heart. Noah did not care and chose to lie on the hospital bed.

"I'll check your drip," said the nurse, only to which Noah nodded back.

No conversation continued, so Noah found out the nurse's name through the nametag pinned to her shirt. It read Eren White, which Noah was somehow familiar with.

"Why are you getting more and more injured in your hands?!" Eren was shocked when she saw Noah's hand, which was originally only scratched, now becomes a wound.

"Even your face has lots of bruises, what happened while we were outside!?" she continued. Eren was still shocked to see Noah's face and hands which were covered with wounds that were worse than before.

Of course, Noah knew the answer and chose to avert his gaze with a face he tried to remain flat. He got up from his lay and winced in pain from his back.

"It's because I had a hard time after I woke up from my stupor," Noah replied in a mumbling voice.

'Because of [Penalty],' he continued from the heart.

That Eren White would definitely not understand if he said [Penalty] to him and the room would return to silence due to his ignorance. People who do not experience [Awakening] will be late in getting more information than people who do [Awakening]. That was what Noah thought for the moment.

"Hard times?" asked Eren to which Noah nodded in reply. He didn't continue his sentence which made Eren have to shut her mouth tightly again.

No conversation continued after Noah shifted his gaze to the large open hospital window and let the wind and light constantly enter his VIP room. His mind drifted somewhere. Staring at the empty blue sky through the window.

[TRING!]

"-!"

Surprised. For the umpteenth time, Noah's eardrum was in pain. He grimaced and the nurse named Eren was startled. The timing coincided with him injecting the back of Noah's hand to reinsert the IV.

"Does it hurt?" asked Eren.

Noah quickly shook his head, then said, "No. I'm just surprised."

Yes. Noah didn't lie at all that he was shocked. It's just a different matter.

Seeing that, Eren shrugged her shoulders and resumed her activities to check on the patient's condition. Whereas Noah could only curse [System]'s actions.

'Can't you do it gently?' said Noah, glaring intently at the window floating in front of his eyes. Those irritated eyes made Eren who was examining him knit his brows together.

[[Healing Potion] successfully used!]

The writing on the floating window almost made Noah turn upside down. Making Eren who was checking his tensile chuckle irritated with Noah's sudden movement.

Noah's mouth fell open and his eyes widened in surprise. Although his handsome face did not diminish by a cent.

'Since when did I use it!?' he thought, now filled with questions.

He immediately cleared his throat and straightened his back again. One by one the questions appeared in his mind and made him dizzy. His eyebrows were linked because there was nothing that could be used as an answer to the notification from [System].

"Did I say that on purpose?"

It was clear that he had been talking to the nurse named Eren all this time. Explain time-wasting misunderstandings. Yes. Noah was sure of that. He never said about [Healing Potion] either through his mouth or his mind.

Noah tried to change positions because of his uneasy feeling. Many questions collided in his mind, making him feel uncomfortable and his illness would also increase.

'This [System] drives me crazy,' he thought as if cursing [System].

'If this looks like the novels I've read, of course, there must be an [Admin],' he continued, not stopping to think. Even though his head has started to feel a pulse.

"Can't you keep quiet for a while? Look! I made a new wound on your skin!"

Noah, who felt that he was okay with the nurse, was finally yelled at. Eren's emotion with the man in front of him did not stop to move. And accidentally the syringe scratches the white skin that he admires.

"Wounds?" Noah repeated. His bead which was colored midnight express glared at the back of his right hand that Eren was pointing at just now. But all he got was ordinary skin that he saw every day. White, beautiful in the eyes of women, but weak in the eyes of men.

"There are no wounds in this area," said Noah.

After Noah said what he saw, the nurse spontaneously stared at the hand she had just pointed at. As a result, she stared in surprise at what she had seen earlier than now.

"Obviously I cut your hand with this syringe!" she argued, mixed with hysterical screams.

Instantly the VIP hospital room which started to be quiet became crowded with chattering. Noah covered his ears because he didn't like noise and sighed silently. One question arose in his brain,

'Of the many nurses in this hospital, why do I have to meet such troublesome people?'

The few minutes he passed with talk that Eren didn't accept and Noah didn't care at all. He chose to stare at the blue sky with cirrus clouds form behind the hospital window. His bad habit is that if he doesn't like the topic of discussion, Noah will shift his gaze to objects he thinks are interesting.

Well, at least the nurse didn't know his bad attitude.

After a few minutes of wasting her time just telling the truth about what she saw, Eren finally stopped his mouth. She took a deep breath and sighed in frustration. Making the man who was the patient turned his head back to his.

"Well, if you've recovered, maybe today you can go home," said Eren. "I don't know what happened, but ever since this world changed, I have become convinced of strange things. These are many strange events that have happened to this hospital, including you."

Noah understood what Eren said. It's just that, he didn't feel like telling the strange incident that Eren was referring to. Of course, because of [Awakening] and also [False] who changed the world 180 degrees.

"I'll call the doctor," Eren continued, nodding back to Noah. She went outside and again closed the door to the VIP room tightly.
