Chapter-338


Grazel Jay


Jay-jay's POV


Maybe if the nurses only saw me in the nursery,
they might have gotten used to me. I kept looking at Freya then
back at the Babies she was looking at. Then I looked at her again
then back at the Babies then back at her again then at the Babies
then back at her again.
"Aren't you going to stop?" Freya asked with
out looking at me. "
You're crazy."
I scratched my head. I didn't know how to talk to her.
I wanted to apologize to her for what I said before she
slapped me. But I hesitated because the slap hurt so much that
she was already coming back from what I said.
There was even more.
He took a deep breath before facing me. His eyebrows were raised high
at me. I knew he was going to attack me again so
I needed a counter attack.
"Eyebrows, it stings." I said and he looked like he was about to pounce
on me.
"Seriously?" He asked sarcastically.
I pursed my lips. I really should have thought about what
I was going to say first. I often get ruined because of my lack of control over
my speech.
"W-what..." I scratched my head.
"Are you jealous of my eyebrows?" He asked bluntly.
I didn't want that, it stings.
I shook my head. "I-I just wanted to apologize. About what
I said before you slapped me."
I could see the seriousness in his face. I knew I had heard this
rom Yuri before and read it in his conversation with Aries but it would be different if one of
them confirmed it.
"Really? He really gives you money?"
There was a part of me that really didn't want to know the truth. Because I didn't
understand why Keifer was doing that. I feel like there's a
deeper reason.
But I also know that the King of Cobras is easy to ask for money
. I wonder if that's always been his way of
helping.
Where is that?
"Yeah, he does give me money." He blinked before facing me. "But
thanks to you, he suddenly stopped."
I pointed at myself. "Why me?!"
It was as if I was being accused of a crime that I had nothing to do with.
"Well, I don't know about you! It's just that since he fell in love with you
, he hasn't been consistent in sending me anything, until he
just stopped." He replied annoyed.
"Well, I don't know either! I don't know about you twoâ€"!"
I was stopped by a nurse suddenly stopping in front of us.
"Maybe you could lower your voice, we're not on the street."
He said calmly but with a hint of annoyance.
"S-sorry." I said and he nodded before leaving.
I didn't notice the rise in our voices.
I was forced to keep quiet by biting my lip.
It's his fault.
We went back to looking at the babies in the nursery.
They were all so cute while sleeping soundly. But I couldn't seem to see
Grace's child.
"Where is Grace's baby?" I asked Freya.
"Not here. Since she was born outside the hospital, she
couldn't be put with other babies. They considered her contaminated or
exposed to bacteria." She explained.
I couldn't help but be amazed by what she was saying. It was as if
she knew a lot about childbirth and babies.
Wait a minute... Her?
"Grace's child is a girl?" I asked in surprise.
She raised an eyebrow at me. "You were holding the baby earlier, didn't
you even notice?"
I shook my head. "She's so small, I was afraid to touch her legs
."
She frowned. "Girl. She looks healthy even though she's premature.
I really hope nothing bad happened."
"It's your fault, you fought me." I couldn't help but say it.
She immediately looked at me with a frown. "Wow, coming from you."
I was about to answer when a doctor came to us. I thought
we would be banned again because we were making noise but Freya faced her
with concern.
"You gave birth to Ms. Miller?" The Doctor asked and
Freya just nodded in response. "Where did you learn? You handled
everything well. But it's still dangerous because the mother and the baby are exposed.
Besides the baby being premature, it's also not sure if the umbilical cord cutter you used was sterilized
. Next time it would be better if
you call an ambulance." "I know, I was just panicking because he already felt the baby
's head . How are she and the baby?" I looked at the Doctor who was still holding a chart. He had some
reading to do before facing Freya and answering her question. "They're safe. Ms. Miller is most likely due to
exhaustion but her blood pressure is normal while the baby has sepsis." Sepsis? Is that a disease? "W-what is
sepsis?" I asked worriedly. Is this what I'm saying. Something bad has happened to the baby. What face will I
make to Denzel? I promised, but here we are at the hospital and her child is in danger. "Infection. It can be
treated with antibiotics. It's not that bad, many babies have sepsis because they get it from the mother." He
explained. Oh, it turns out Grace was at fault. I breathed a sigh of relief at the doctor's explanation. I
completely thought the baby had a serious illness and that was why she was born prematurely . "Just take the
baby to Ms. Miller's room." He added and turned to Freya again "You can be an Obstetrician, you have the
skills." The doctor said goodbye and we thanked each other. I could see that Freya's worry from earlier had
disappeared. It seemed like she was also thinking about what happened to the baby and Grace. Because it
was really her fault. It was only now that it became clear to me that she was also worried about her old friend.
I didn't know if her teasing and insulting Grace was just fake. "I was nervous, I thought something bad would
happen to them." I said almost in a whisper. "It's really good that there's nothing." He faced me and threatened
to slap me. "But, my God! Maybe I didn't notice you." I immediately glared at him. "Why me? Maybe you're the
one who rushed in." "You really won't lose, right?" "You too." "Can't you just fight outside?" A nurse interrupted.
"You two have been doing this for a while. You're already disturbing me." That's it. We were already scolded. I
bowed my head in shame, while Freya stood tall. No one was willing to move with us or answer the nurse in
ront of us. Maybe we'd be caught. "Besides, I'll call security to get you out." He threatened. I almost pressed
against the wall to avoid his evil glare. I was so embarrassed because he had been scolding us for a while.
And it was even more embarrassing when we were out of here. The nurse left with an evil glare at us. I went
back to Freya's side to try to talk to her properly but I was stopped when I saw her looking at her cellphone.
Someone was calling but the name was 'Blacklisted'. She didn't answer and just stared at the cellphone
screen as if she was just watching a video clip. Suddenly, I was asked who was calling her. "You're not going
to answer?" I asked. "What for? He just keeps saying the same thing." The call ended but only seconds later,
the same name called again and he did the same thing. "S-is that Percy?" I was really embarrassed to ask but I
wanted to confirm if what I was thinking was right. It was a good thing she didn't get irritated when I
mentioned the name of my brother who always has a new air conditioner. "I've changed numbers a few times
but here he is again. Doesn't he really know how to give up?" He said calmly but with a hint of annoyance . I
quickly felt sorry for my step-brother. I know and I can see his determination to woo Freya because he loves
the old love he left so much. Love, deep. Why can't Freya see that those blue eyes are serious about making it
up to them? I know Percy has been gone for a long time but he's ready to get back the people they never had
together. "Is Percy really hopeless with you? Can't you try at least once? At least to him, you're sure he loves
you." I said with a mix of pleading. He turned off the call and the cellphone before putting it back in his
uniform pocket . He looked at me irritated. This time I knew his anger was serious, unlike when we were
arguing. "If it was Yuri who loved you so much, you wouldn't have chosen me. Is it me who doesn't have
eelings for your step-brother?" He faked a smile. "Percy tricked me before, he said he would help me get
close to Yuri but he had to introduce me as his girlfriend so there would be a reason for me going with him.
But he never let me talk to Yuri until I found out that he's hiding me from them." He raised his eyebrows at me.
"You think I will let him deceive me again? Hell no." Is that why he rejected Percy like that? Because he's been
ooling her since the beginning ? I know that man's head is hard to hit but he won't act without thinking. He
had a reason for doing that. "Didn't you even think a little bit that he loved you that he did that? He's serious
about youâ€"." He laughed weakly. "The only man who takes me seriously is your boyfriend. And no one else
will. They all have hidden agendas ." Is that how Keifer values him? Wait a minute, we're not. "He's not my
boyfriend." I whispered but he ignored me. I suddenly remembered Edrix. I couldn't help but think about what
he said and how much he liked Freya. I could really see his admiration in his eyes. "What if there's someone
else like Keifer? And someone else happens to like you too?" I said, punching the moon. He laughed
sarcastically. "Percy?" I shook my head slowly. "No..." I answered a little slowly. He raised his eyebrows again.
"Did you trip me?" I shook my head slowly. "No..." He was clearly annoyed with me. "You don't look confident ."
"Oh, that's terrible! I'm so embarrassed by your face!" "You again!" The nurse said to me again. I immediately
turned around and walked away before she could call the guard. I could feel Freya following me. We stopped
in a hallway far from the nursery so that the nurses in that area wouldn't hear us. "You're so noisy!" She said to
me annoyed. "You talk too much." I sighed. "Back to what I was saying." I saw her nod simply. She tried to
avoid looking at me while she kept tugging at the ends of her hair. She also seemed interested in knowing.
Ayeih! "It's true, it seems like she's liked you for a long time but she hasn't approached you." "Why?" "She feels
like she has no hope." She laughed sarcastically again. "Why are you telling me that if she already knows she
has no hope?" "You're looking for something serious and has no hidden agenda, right? That's what she's like.
That's why she hasn't approached you because she knows you're just playing around and she's not like that.
She wants a serious relationship and you're probably not that type." I explained and she was silent for a
moment. She seemed to be thinking carefully about what I said. And I also proved that she has a mind.
Congrats! I hope everyone has a mind. She suddenly snapped two fingers and pointed at me. I thought I had
done something wrong so I held my chest. "What exactly is this about? Let's say there is and what you're
saying is true. What do I get in return?" His eyes narrowed at me. "Maybe you're doing this to get me away
rom Yuri?" Err... Partially. "N-not like that... T-because it's to prove to you that there's still something serious
about you. If you like him, then it's a happy ending." "Happy endings are for kids. And we're not kids anymore." I
blinked at what he said. It was obvious that he was bitter, even breaking the simple beliefs of children. "You
too. What a waste of a chance." I sneered. He gave me a hard time but it was obvious that he was also
thinking about what I said. He rubbed his chin with one finger and then bit his lower lip. It took him a while to
think. It looked like his brain was being squeezed and he had run out of oil. "Okay!" He answered me boldly. "I'll
give him a chance and then what? Is he a suitor?" I was stunned. I hadn't thought about that. I don't know if
Edrix will agree to what I'm saying. Maybe later his arrogance will eat him up again. I'll be embarrassed.
"Maybe. But if you're embarrassed by courtship, we can find a way to do that." I tried to convince him. "Fine."
He turned his back on me and walked away. When he disappeared from my sight, I wanted to punch myself. I
don't know why I pushed him to give Edrix a chance? What about Percy now? I was the one who pushed him
away from the woman he was going back to. After all! Whether I admit it to myself or not, Yuri is also one of
my reasons. I know he won't love Freya because she's the one who makes me feel this way but why are they
still seeing each other? Haizt! Batman's up to me. Besides, I'll think of a way for Percy and Edrix. For now,
Freya has agreed to give me a chance. I was stunned when I saw a man standing at the end of the hallway. He
was still breathing deeply as he looked at me. "K-Keifer..." He shook his head before taking big steps towards
me. "Hey, I'm sorry, I didn'tâ€"." I couldn't finish what I was going to say because of his sudden hug. "H-hold on."
"I'm worried as fvck." He whispered. "I thought someone kidnapped you earlier." It was like someone caressed
my heart. I couldn't help but smile. And with everything that had happened earlier, I only felt tired now. My two
arms spontaneously hugged him. " Grace gave birth because of us. The baby was premature." I complained
like a child. "I'm afraid of Denzel." "Sshh... No one wants that." "Freya and I had a fight, because we didn't want
Grace to stop taking care of us. There, she burst into tears. Then she gave birth in the car on the side of the
road." I closed my eyes as I remembered what the baby looked like. "Their child was so tiny." "But I heard they
are safe now. So you have nothing to worry about. " "Denzel, he might get mad at me." "I'll hit him when he gets
mad." He was joking so I slapped him lightly on the back. He combed my hair before kissing my forehead.
"Don't think too much. We can talk to Denzel if he gets mad." I nodded but I still couldn't get the possible
consequences of what happened out of my mind. He had the right to be angry because of my negligence. But
I didn't want to ruin our friendship. I buried my face in Keifer's shoulder. His scent was so fragrant . It was like I
was being pulled to sniff his scent. The feeling was so familiar to me that I couldn't help it. "Jay? Why are you
sniffing my shirt?" I was surprised by his question. My eyes widened even more before I pulled away from him
and pushed him away. Counter attack. "You! You're abusive! We're not okay yet, are we!" He looked at me in
surprise before a mischievous smile appeared on his lips. "Really? Okay then." It was obvious that he was just
teasing. I just smirked before walking away. I was planning to go to Grace but I didn't know her room besides I
hadn't returned Freya's car key yet. I frowned as I faced the King of Snakes but I was immediately overcome
with annoyance when I noticed he was still smiling. "Get ready. I'm going to punch you." "What?" He asked with
a laugh. "What-what's wrong with your face there." I said annoyed while smirking. "Do you know where Grace's
room is?" "VIP ward. 4th floor." He quickly answered. I immediately looked for the elevator to get to the 4th
floor. But I ended up taking the stairs because of my obsession with this sneaky Vulture. Every time I turned to
look at him, his mischievous smile appeared. "Stop!" I said annoyed but he just laughed at me. Shit! Until we
reached the 4th floor, she was still doing the same thing. I approached the Nurse Station and asked. They
quickly pointed to Grace's room and it was just right because Freya came out. She immediately looked at me
but then turned to the man behind me. I couldn't help but feel irritated. Her eyebrows raised and were about to
come closer when I blocked my hand while holding her car keys. "Key. I forgot to give it to you." I said while
orcing a smile. Freya stared at me before taking the key from my hand. "You're weird." She turned and walked
away. When she disappeared from my sight, I immediately faced the King of Vipers but she was already
ocused on her cellphone. What's on your beloved cellphone? "They said Felix was on his way. He was withâ€"."
She didn't finish what she was saying when she saw me looking at her. "What?" "What what?" I asked. "Why
are you looking at me like that?" I just realized that my eyebrows were together while looking at him with a bad
look. I shook my head. "Nothing." I quickly walked to Grace's room before she could speak. I knocked before
opening the door. When I entered, Denzel immediately appeared before me, adjusting Grace's blanket. I
stopped when I remembered what had happened. My mind immediately raced with what he could say and
what he could say. I knew he would be angry and I should just accept it. I looked at Keifer and motioned for
him to wait outside. He nodded and closed the door. "D-denzel." I called his attention. He turned to me and
looked at me. He immediately walked towards me. His steps were fast and big. I thought he was going to kick
me because of the way he raised his hand. I closed my eyes but immediately opened my eyes when I felt his
arm. "Thank you Jay!" He said and I felt him sob. He let go and wiped his tears. I blinked in surprise. I couldn't
understand what he was thanking me for. "Denzel... Are you okay?" I asked worriedly. Maybe he was going
crazy from being so angry with me. I should have called Keifer. "Yeah, sorry." He replied and took a deep
breath. "I don't know how to thank you. You didn't leave Grace until she gave birth." "B-but Grace gave birth
because of us." "Actually, the Doctor already told us about it. That's why Grace rushed to buy baby supplies but
I didn't think that today would be that day and she was still outside the hospital." "But even so... If Freya and I
hadn't fought, she wouldn't have given birth early." Denzel smiled at me. "That doesn't matter to me anymore.
As long as my mother and I are safe, it's okay." I held my chest. I smiled at him too. I knew his smile was
sincere towards me. My fear and everything I had been thinking about from before had diminished. It's
different when a friend forgives you for a serious sin. They must have felt the same way when I forgave them
or cheating on me. "Don't be dramatic." I heard someone say. Denzel and I both turned to Grace. She was
looking at us teasingly . We immediately approached her. "How are you feeling?" I asked. "I'm fine. Thanks for
yelling at me." She said and laughed slightly. She said it was a reminder. I think I screamed even louder while
she was giving birth. She was holding my hand so tightly. I thought my bones in my hand had broken. We
turned to the door when we heard a knock. The next thing it did was open and two nurses came in. One was
pushing a hospital crib with a lamp attached. The other was holding a chart. "Here's Baby." A nurse said. She
adjusted the crib and turned on the lamp. I squinted because of the light and color of the lighting. "Baby needs
to be warm and his temperature can't drop. That's why he needs to be under the lamp."" The nurse explained.
The other nurse, on the other hand, was just monitoring Grace with some device and then left. Denzel didn't
miss the opportunity and took his baby from the crib and brought her closer to Grace. "Hello, Grazel Jay."
