Chapter 32
Lucinda's POV
"So what you're telling me is that you guys were at the compound and you heard a noise outside. You noticed that the admitted patient was being attacked and you tried to intervene but was also attacked. Then those two over the came over and threw some punches before the supposed attackers ran away and you called the ambulance?"
I blinked at the woman across from me.
"Yes."
She narrowed her eyes at me slightly and jotted down something on her clip board.
"We have to wait for the patient to awaken and verify your story so leave your contact details here..."
Like I was going to do that.
I nodded and walked away from the hospital reception. Dami and Chase were getting their knuckles treated and Donavan sat on one of the reception chairs staring at the wall across him.
Sasha went to the Cafeteria to go get some coffee before she went to visit Randy in his ward. I plopped down on the chair next to Donavan and he eyed me before non-verbally dismissing me.
"Have you heard from Dami or Chase?"
He shook his head 'no' and crossed his arms on his chest. I noticed the dark circles under his eyes showing clear lack of sleep but I didn't question it.
"Why does Damiano always annoy Chase?"
I stared at him slightly wide eyed. Donavan actually initiated conversation? What a first!
"He's just really protective of me for some reason... Maybe it's because I don't really have that much time left here so he wants to spend as much with me as possible."
He looked at me with curiosity.
"How long do you have?"
"Less than six months... Why?"
"Well I assume that you've had quite a history with hospitals then..."
I furrowed my brows... How did he know? During my first years here I used to visit this place a lot since I had a few years of service collecting souls in my free time.
"Yeah... I kinda know a hospital like the back of my hand since most of them a structured the same way."
He nodded and looked like he was deep in thought. I wonder what is going on through his mind right now? If only Lucian was here... But the jerk never does anything for free.
He turned to look at me and was observing my bodily features before they landed back on my face. I blinked at him and then he looked at me with complete interest.
"So what are you doing with your limited time?"
"I suppose spending time with loved ones and making sure their happy..."
... Also taking a huge risk that could possibly ruin my future.
"Not anything for yourself?"
I stared at him dumbfounded.
For myself?
Like leisure activities?
"Not really... I guess I've just been trying to make sure everyone doesn't think I'm neglecting them or something."
"If I found out that I had that little time I would try everything. Exotic food, thrilling activities and all the bits..."
I actually considered his words for a second. I suppose the human realm has so much to offer but I've been saving it for after I get granted my freedom. But then again I could still fail horribly so I guess I should start trying new things.
I smiled at him and nodded. He was about to say something before he was interrupted by Dami and Chase approaching us and arguing like usual.
"I'm just saying that I got in more punches than you..."
"Because you went outside first and besides the extra by the chair pulled me back before I could break someone's nose"
Broken noses? What the hell kind of memory did Lucian create. Dami flashed me a smirk before following a nurse who I assumed was his new conquest.
Chase stood in front of me with a bandage around his right hand knuckle. Dami seemed to have the same one.
He tilted my face upwards and put a chaste kiss on my lips before smiling. I smiled back and got up from the chair.
"You ready to go?"
I nodded but opted to check on Sasha before we left. He said he'd wait the car for me. Donavan followed him.
I asked a nurse which room Randy was in and followed her instructions. Once I got there Sasha was sitting at a chair not far from his bed but not touching him at all.
I cleared my throat and she turned to see me in the doorway. She got up and I approached me and lead me out into the hallway to talk.
"Are you okay?"
"I mean yeah... It's not everyday that your boyfriend gets jumped by a bunch of rando's... And gets defended by a beautiful stranger"
I blushed at her compliment and chuckled slightly.
"I suppose not... I'm about to leave but I wanted to tell you something before I went..."
She nodded for me to continue.
"I saw the way Randy was treating you before the attack. It's not right and I just wanted to advise you not to take this moment of weakness as an opportunity to fix things. If he truly loves you... He'll treat you like a queen..."
She glanced at Randy's beaten figure with a look of contemplation and gave me a firm nod. I smiled and then hugged her goodbye.
She hugged me back and whispered words of better choices to be made in the future. She returned to the room and sat back on the chair. With one last glance I began to go outside to the parking lot.
When I came towards the door I saw Donavan leaning against the wall smoking a cigarette. My face crumpled up in disgust.
"Smoking is bad for you..."
"Well I'm going to die eventually... Why not enjoy it while it lasts..."
I rolled my eyes and sighed at his idiocy. I raised my hands signaling that I no longer wanted part in the conversation. I continued my wake towards the car before I was stopped by Donny calling me.
"Hey Lucy?"
He threw his finished cigarette to the ground and stepped on it.
"Wanna hang tomorrow?"
