3.....

Noah arrived at a conference disturbed by his earlier talk with his mum. He wanted his mother to live with him, so why couldn't she do that for she's her son?

Lucas found Noah walking back to his office. Greeted his secretary and headed inside the office pantry first.

"CV's (curriculum vitae) at your table. I can help you check them" Lucas said

Noah nodded "Did you find anything about the kid in the hospital?"

"Yeah, but why are you so curious at him though?"

Noah didn't answer him

"Tell me about it"

"Well, as you know he is 18 y/o and was admitted last month. I looked through CCTV and the woman who brought him happens to be his mother, just left him there."

Noah opened the chip and walked out of the pantry.

"That's it?"

"Well, there's not much about him. Do you want me, a stranger, to go and ask his mother why she left her son in our hospital?"

"Nevermind"

Noah starts scrutinizing the CVs. He distinguishes between genders, male and female, and subsequently between their experiences. He directs Lucas to contact the prior hospital where their personnel worked and inquire as to why they left their jobs.

Sam, on the other hand, is still waiting for Noah. Thinking why he hasn't come yet. "Maybe he is talking to my mother about the fare?" he thought. "I hope he gives my mom a big amount. That way, mom will not be mad at me"

Noah drives to Sam's. He was concerned that a nurse might do something to him again. It's funny how he doesn't trust the staff at HIS OWN HOSPITAL. Well, can't blame him for what they found out. It may be tough but he needs to hire new workers and new head staff.

Sam was sleeping when he got in his room.

"Finally, he's asleep." Noah looked at the nurse as she walked to and inject medicine in his IV fluids.

"He doesn't sleep until his body gives out, and he doesn't eat until someone who isn't wearing a nurse or doctor uniform orders him to."

Noah pitied the kid and stroked his hair. Sam moved a little and slowly opened his eyes.

When he saw Noah, he immediately sat on the edge of the bed, which gave him a headache.

"Sorry. I didn't intend to wake you up." Noah helps him to lie down in bed.

Sam is just staring at Noah

"You want something?"

Sam is still confused why Noah is being nice to him. His body is being attentive now that Noah is in the room with him. Although he doesn't know why he feels a little safe when he's there.

"Uhmm. You can go back to sleep if you want" Noah smile gently

Sam turned red and got shy all of a sudden. His heart is racing and all he can see is Noah. The way he moves his lips, his Adam's apple, his eyes that have long eyelashes. Everything about him seems to move slower.

After a few days, Sam got discharged faster than expected because of Noah taking care of him. Noah decided to take Sam to his house while he is recovering. They tried to reach for his mother but it was no use because she is denying Sam as her son.

"This will be your new room" a king-sized bed, beside it human-sized teddy bears, a French door window on the left that brightens the room, a homely ambiance where he felt a peace in it.

And not like the rooms he had before. No windows, single bed with one pillow, and pitch-black worse than a basement.

"You can rest first then I'll call you when dinner's ready" and Noah smile at him before leaving the room.

There it is again, his smile that makes Sam nervous. Makes his heart beat fast and for some reason, he starts caring about his appearance when Noah's around.

"Don't disturb Sam and let him rest. I'm just in my office so call me first when dinner's ready." Noah instructed his maid.

For a long time, Noah felt appeased while doing work. He does not easily get irritated as he used to when seeing the reports of his people being invalid. It's like, everything becomes fitting.
