Ellie’s POV
"Ma'am Ellie…"
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw nurse Hans' face.
My eyes widened on the sofa where he was sitting earlier but he immediately stood up when my name was called.
He quickly approached me.
"W-Why?" I wondered because of its reaction.
His look was full of excitement when he saw me awake. It looks like he wants to tell me something and he can’t wait to let me know.
Even though his appearance was doubtful, he was still able to give me a frugal smile before speaking. "Señorito Keeion called you to go downstairs." At the same time he said, the same way he scratched his head.
I was not surprised by what he announced. It is now the third day that their boss has called me downstairs. Perhaps we need to start the therapy session. Ever since he came back here, my therapy session has been flawless. He was always there while the therapist from Manila was doing therapy activities for me. I heard from nurse Hans and nurse Ria that that person is one of the best therapists in the Philippines. Keeion probably also pays a lot for it, knowing that he is one of the best therapists in the country. I don't know why he still has to choose a therapist, anyone is okay with me.
My debt to him increased again.
I'll only take it back when I'm finally recovered. After all, he planned to make me his personal assistant. He'll just cut my salary or I'll pay him instantly when my memory comes back.
What if I'm a daughter of a mafia boss? What if?
I don’t have to work with him anymore.
We didn't stay in the room for long. I didn't even complain when nurse Hans lifted me up to move into a wheelchair. Why else would I complain? It is for me to recover as soon as possible. They are just helping me.
It's boring to be able to lie in bed all day even though the bed is like a cloud in the softness.
I no longer hesitate to fix my whole body. I had a bath earlier. I only fell asleep for a while because I was drowsy waiting for the private practice therapist hired by Keeion.
"Has Miss Candy already arrived?" I asked as nurse Hans pushed my wheelchair into the hallway of the second floor. Nurse Ria was next to me, carrying the towel and other items that will be needed for the therapy session.
Miss Candy is the private therapist hired by Keeion.
I guess she is in her 30's but still looking young because of her flawless skin and sexy body. Usually with medical specialists, they look more young. The glowing they always look like, doesn't seem to be getting old.
Nurse Hans stopped pushing me when we reached the top of the stairs. This is an indication that he has to lift me up because I still can’t be in a wheelchair coming down this stairs.
“Yes, Ma’am Ellie. Miss Candy arrived earlier and they are currently chatting on the veranda with Señorito Keeion’s friend, Sir Danico. I'm just waiting for you to wake up so the therapy session starts," he said before he slowly lifted me from the wheelchair.
I no longer felt uncomfortable in what nurse Hans was doing to lift me. We've been together for a few weeks and I can say that he is indeed a gentleman. Fortunately, his body is also big, which makes it easy for him to lift me. But when compared to Keeion, that man is far more handsome and has a well-built body than nurse Hans. I realized this when he lifted me down this stair. I could still feel his hard chest and arms.
"W-What did you say, Hans?" We stopped stepping on the stairs when nurse Ria asked. There was a hint of shock in her voice. "Sir Danico is here?" Her tone was mixed with a scream.
Nurse Hans nodded. "Yes, Sir Danico is there in the balcony with Señorito Keeion."
I looked at the female nurse. Her cheek was now red and she couldn't hide the shiver. Her two eyes still seemed to be smiling.
I wonder why she reacted like that? Does it have anything to do with the person nurse Hans mentioned?
"Who is Sir Danico?" I couldn't help but join the conversation between the two of them.
The two looked at each other first and nurse Ria immediately averted her eyes from us, focusing her eyes on the first floor. She looked up there while holding on to the railings.
Nurse Hans answered my question. “Sir Danico is also a close friend of Señorito Keeion, Ma’am Ellie. They have been friends since college and today is the day that they meet once again after a few months. Sir Tedson is also Sir Danico's friend with whom he often hangs out. ”
I just nodded because I didn't know Sir Danico they were referring to.
Besides Tedson, Keeion also had another friend.
“Ria, it's time for you to stop looking at them. You can also see your crush downstairs in a few minutes, so come on,” nurse Hans in a teasing tone.
I glanced at nurse Ria and up to this time, she is still blushing.
"Your crush?" I asked the female nurse with a smile.
She was speechless and all she did was shake her head. Okay, denying stage.
I didn't ask her again because her reaction was enough to answer my question.
She’s like a high school student being asked if she really admires that person and she can’t answer because of the embarrassment she feels.
When we went downstairs, nurse Hans immediately let me sit in a wheelchair waiting in the living room. I'm using two wheelchairs, one upstairs and also one here downstairs. There's no need to get the wheelchairs from the second floor, it's a little heavy so it's better to have two wheelchairs.
Nurse Hans started pushing me again to the outside where the veranda was. From the big door, we could hear Miss Candy's loud laughter. Their conversation seemed fun. I won't be surprised anymore because my therapist's personality is jolly. I'm also enjoying talking with her.
They didn't notice us right away because they were still busy talking.
They sat on the couch that was there. Keeion was facing us while Miss Candy and the man next to her were turning their backs on us. Maybe the person next to him was Sir Danico, referred to by the two nurses who were with me.
“My gosh! It's Sir Danico! ” nurse Ria whispered behind us.
Nurse Hans made us laugh a little because Nurse Ria's hand was almost shaking. Is she nervous because her crush is in front of her?
My smile widened even more with a silly thought. “Do you want me to tell that guy that you're having a crush on him? You know, this is the sign that you have made a move in order for him to crush you back.”
Nurse Ria immediately waved her hand. “Ma’am Ellie, don’t. It's embarrassing and I just feel admiration for Sir Danico. I only admire him because of his good looks and intelligence. Nothing else, my admiration won't upgrade."
"Is it really just admiration or a simple crush? I don't think so," nurse Hans groaned.
Nurse Ria secretly pinched her nurse friend. "Shut up, bitvh."
"Oh, Ellie is here."
We were immediately confronted when Miss Candy spoke. She is facing in our direction now. Even Keeion was already staring at the three of us. The man next to Miss Candy also slowly turned to us.
I heard nurse Ria’s faint scream when we finally saw that man. He was probably Sir Danico.
When I see the physical features of the man, I can say that nurse Ria has good taste when it comes to men. He is very handsome and also tall. His skin was also well cared for because it was so white and smooth. He's wearing a simple polo shirt but it still smells expensive. He still looks like a rich and respected man like Keeion.
That's why nurse Ria is obsessed with the man in front of us now. Now, I understand why she's blushing.
We immediately approached where the three of them were.
"Okay, let's start." Keeion has already signed to start the session.
Miss Candy was about to stand up when another man spoke. “Come on, Keeion. Won't you introduce me?”
"For what reason?" there is no reluctance to question him.
Sir Danico pouted to Keeion as a way of teasing him. “I just want to introduce myself to her. You know, what if there’s a hidden string connected between us?”
Keeion only shot the man with a bad look. Danico didn't care, but he just laughed.
He took his eyes off his friend and turned his attention back to me.
He gave me a sweet smile. "Hi, I heard what happened to you as well as about my friend's adoption of you. I’m Danico Louie Reyes, one of the handsome neurologists in this country.”
He reached out his palm to shake hands and I immediately accepted it because I didn’t want to look disrespectful.
I smiled back at it. "I'm Ellie," I introduced myself briefly. I don't have anything else to add because I don't remember anything else about my personality.
A few seconds later, he still wouldn't let go of my hand.
Until Keeion sneezed, that's when he let go of my hand.
If I were to give it meaning, my conclusion would be that Keeion gave Danico a sign to release my hand which his friend immediately followed.
It seems that every word and gesture of Keeion has the appropriate authority and threat for them. He doesn't need to say any word, he can control the people with just a simple look or smirk.
After getting to know each other and shaking hands, Nurse Hans and I sat down next to Miss Candy.
"How's your feeling, Ellie?" Miss Candy asked calmly as she placed the electric massage equipment on my leg.
Even though Miss Candy and I had only been together for a few days, I felt comfortable with her. She is not difficult to get along with because of her fun personality. There is no problem in her joyful personality because it is a reason not to mislead anyone with whom she interacts.
I smiled. "I'm fine."
She also smiled after hearing my answer. “That’s good. I have also observed that your condition is getting better. It's great to see the speed of your recovery.”
I also feel to myself that I am getting stronger. Unlike before, every move I made, someone had to support me. Now I can eat on my own. I'm only working on my two legs now.
“That’s good news! Right, Keeion?”
My attention was drawn to Miss Candy and now went to Danico. The man looked at Keeion and waited for what he would say.
There was no emotion on his face. It is still possible that some people just react blankly every time they talk.
“Yeah. It’s good news knowing that she can finally pay all her debt once she has recovered.” After he said this, he glared at me.
I glared at him. Can't he wait for me to pay for all the things he helped?
"Don't worry, I won't run away from you," I said.
If that’s what he’s worried about, I’ll assure him, I can’t do that. I have a word and he can make sure I will do my promise and fulfill it.
I’ll be his personal assistant soon. He just need to be patient while waiting for me to heal.
Miss Candy has already started the therapy session. After she used the electric massage to revive the vein in my leg, she then massaged my two legs manually. Miss Candy is really good. Her hand was light and at the same time, her massage was relaxing.
After the massage, nurse Hans prepared the folding walker. Miss Candy will now try to see if I can step on my two legs. This is the beginning for me to practice walking. She said it was a big help to regain the strength of my legs.
“Hans, can you help Ellie? Let's see if he can walk on her feet.”
With no doubt, Hans immediately complied with Miss Candy's request. Nurse Hans stood beside me and was about to help me stand up when Danico entered the scene.
“Let me do that, Hans. No worries, I also have a little knowledge about therapy.”
Hans walked away and Danico took his place. "Let me help you, Ellie," he said.
There was nothing I could do but reach for his palm and he slowly built me ​​into a wheelchair. He supports me until I can handle the folding walker.
The man was just behind me and my skin was already touching his skin.
I just met Danico and this is how close we are now. I couldn’t help but feel deprived.
I’m not comfortable with his presence.
I tried to keep my face away from him so that there would still be space between us. I changed the direction of my vision and accidentally, it hit Keeion.
The two of us immediately caught sight of each other. I can't figure out if he's been looking at me before so I caught him looking or like me, his eyes are just accidentally look at me.
I was surprised when Keeion got up from his chair but he still didn't take his eyes off me.
He walked over to us.
We were all motionless when we saw him stand up. We are waiting for him to come to us and find out what he wants to happen.
"Remove your fvcking hand from her!" His cold language when he got to be next to Danico and me.
"H-Huh?" the man turned to him in astonishment.
"Let me do that thing."
The five words he used were enough for Danico to understand what his friend meant.
Danico let Keeion take his place earlier.
Keeion gently placed his hand on my waist to help me stand up. His one hand was holding my right hand.
I couldn’t understand why I felt a spark when our skin applied.
I seem to be electrified every time our bodies stick together.
