29. Simon Meets Prince Dylan
She looked at the person who was just standing on the side. “Take him home. I will forgive what your boss did to my partner, but next time you do it again-” She stared into the eyes of the person next to Timothy. “Your boss is the first person I will kill for the first time.”
Timothy’s secretary rushed over and supported him. “Sorry, it won’t happen again.” Adira’s face showed almost no emotion.
“Help your boss get back to his old behavior without jealousy when you were just starting. Perhaps you’ve been his employee for a long time.”
He nodded. “I was with him even before his business was built.”
“Then you are the key to how he can get back to the way he was before. Remind him of every hardship you had in the past just to make your business last until now. The competitors in a company are always there. The important thing is that he is willing to sacrifice even if he doesn’t know the result.” She smiled at him slightly. “Believe that a blessing is more worth it if you don’t expect it to come.”
Adira walked over and lifted half of Simon’s body while leaning on her knee and one hand.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
While Timothy was stunned, his secretary spoke. “I know my boss did that to him, but if you want, put him in the car we brought so he can be taken to the hospital immediately. He was unconscious a while ago.”
She nodded and looked at Dylan’s hiding place. “Dylan, come here!” she strongly said.
Dylan came out and approached them. “Pick him up and put him in the car. Follow them.”
Prince Dylan followed quickly, and Timothy and Adira followed also. When was lying in the back of the car, she spoke to Timothy’s secretary, “Just to a nearby hospital. I’ll follow you on my motorbike. Don’t try to fool me, or I’ll take everything back and turn your boss into a corpse.” He just nodded and started the car.
Adira went on her motorbike with Prince Dylan.
“Hurry up and hold my shoulder.”
Dylan immediately followed her and didn’t know where to hold her because Adira’s two arms and shoulder were full of wounds with clots of blood. Her face also has a few small wounds, but those on the side of her lips are more visible.
“Why are you so slow to hold on, Dylan? We’re chasing someone’s life here, and why did you take so long?” she said with an annoyed voice.
In the end, Prince Dylan hugged Adira’s waist because of the speed of Adira’s motorbike.
They had traveled for about an hour when they arrived at the small hospital. Someone immediately came closer, a nurse, so Simon was immediately taken to the emergency room. Because the wound he has is so bad, the others still need to be stitched up. What’s worse is that he is still unconscious.
When Simon was admitted to the emergency room, Adira was so tired that she sat in the waiting area and closed her eyes. Prince Dylan also slowly sat down while looking at Adira, who closed her eyes.
“Aren’t you going to get treatment too? You also have a lot of wounds.”
Her eyes suddenly opened at what he said. “I’m fine; the important one is Simon.”
“He is the reason why you came back here.”
“Yes, he is.”
“He is so important, am I right?”
Adira just nodded and closed her eyes again due to exhaustion. She also had a lot of opponents earlier, so I’m sure her body wants to rest. Her wounds are getting worse now, as she just felt at this moment.
A nurse came to them. “Excuse me, ma’am. Your body’s wounds also need to be treated. Follow me to the other room so your wounds can be cleaned there.”
She stood up tired, but Dylan held her hand to support her until she laid down on the hospital bed. “Go out again and wait for what the doctor has to say about Simon, and if possible, go with him first to see which room he will be taken to.”
After Adira said that, she suddenly lost consciousness. Prince Dylan was worried at first because Adira’s eyes suddenly closed and did not open. Fortunately, the nurse said that she was so tired that she fell asleep, and the wounds on her body were also the reason. Prince Dylan didn’t even wait for Adira to be treated because he went out and waited outside the emergency room.
An hour passed, and the doctor came out and seemed to be looking for Simon’s family. Fortunately, Prince Dylan turned around and stood up.
“How’s the patient?” asked Prince Dylan.
The doctor frowned. “Are you the patient’s family?”
“No, but the person with him is in a patient room here too because her wound is also being treated. I’m the only one you can talk to.”
The doctor nodded. “The patient is fine, but he will stay here for two or three more days to heal his wounds. Some wounds need to be stitched up, so he still needs to be admitted here. We will take him to one of the patient rooms here. Just follow. Excuse me.” The doctor turned his back and entered the emergency room again.
While Prince Dylan was standing, Simon was taken out of the emergency room while the nurse pushed his bed. That’s why Prince Dylan followed immediately to find out which room Simon would be taken to so that when Adira was okay, she could go to Simon immediately.
As soon as Simon’s bed was fixed and the dextrose was flowing with medicine while hanging, the two nurses came out. Prince Dylan sat by the side of Simon’s bed and stared at him.
“Besides Adira being with him on missions. What else is the relationship between the two of them that the young lady is so worried for him?” Prince Dylan spoke softly, but after a while, he felt sleepy, which is why he put his arm on the side of Simon’s bed and rested his head.
It was late at night when Adira woke up from her sleep, and she wasted no time in finding out what Simon’s situation was. Her strength has also returned to normal as if she were not injured. When she went out the door, she saw the nurse, who put medicine on her wound.
“Excuse me, nurse. Where was my partner, who was in the emergency room, brought to? Is he okay?” she asked hurriedly.
The nurse smiled slightly. “It’s good that you already woke up. The patient is okay now, and he’s in room 3.”
“Okay, thanks!” The nurse just nodded to her, and she went to the room where Simon was.
When she opened the door, she saw Dylan’s head on the side of Simon’s bed. “He fell asleep too.” She approached the side of the bed and observed Simon, who looked better now than earlier, with a lot of blood flowing down his face.
She sat in a chair next to Simon’s bed, and a few moments later she saw Simon’s eyelids move, so he might have been awake.
Adira waited for Simon to open his eyes, but Dylan woke up first and closed his eyes a few more times before finally opening them. When Dylan finally opened his eyes, he was slightly surprised by Adira.
“You’re awake now, are you okay?”
She just nodded and looked back at Simon, who was slowly opening his eyes. And when he finally opened it, Dylan was the first person he saw, so he was confused. “Who are you?”
Dylan looked at her. “Simon,” she called.
He immediately turned his head to her and was slightly shocked, but eventually spoke. “You came.”
She frowned. “What makes you think I won’t come? Even if I’m buried in the underground, I’ll be there as long as you need help,” she said gruffly.
Simon smiled. “It’s far, Adira, and what you did was even more difficult, and you had to use a plane just to get back here.”
“Don’t even think about how I managed to get back here so quickly. How are you feeling?”
“It’s okay. I’m a little weak because of the wound I got, but the rest is okay.”
“Good then.” She frowned and looked at Dylan, who was just watching Simon and her. “Dylan, what did the doctor say?”
“He needs to stay here for two or three days before going home because the doctor said the wounds should heal quickly.”
Simon turned his gaze toward Dylan. “Who is he, Adira?”
“He is the prince.”
Simon just stared, and after a while, his eyes widened because, as Adira said, he didn’t pick it up right away.
“Did I hear you correctly? He is the prince that you need-”
“Simon,” she said threateningly.
Simon looked away and just greeted Prince Dylan. “Nice to meet you, Prince Dylan.”
“I’m also happy to meet you.” Dylan smiled and turned his gaze to Adira, who was looking at the two with a serious face.
She sighed. “Tomorrow you can go back to your country.”
Dylan frowned. “Only me?”
“Yes.”
“Why aren’t you with me? I didn’t come out of my hiding place earlier, did I? So you’re still with me when I come back to Stalwart Castle.” Dylan was slightly worried, as was obvious from the expression on his face.
“I have to keep an eye on Simon here. The doctor said he’ll be here for up to 3 days, so you better come back first.”
“I don’t want to,” Dylan answered seriously.
Her forehead gradually wrinkled while looking at him. “Listen to me, Dylan. Your father will be looking for you, so you better go back first. You’ll be in trouble if King Stephen finds out you’re here.”
“I won’t come back without you.”
Adira closed her eyes in annoyance while Simon just watched the two of them.
“I’m not going back for what you’re doing now, Dylan.”
He stared at her. “Then I’ll just be here.”
She pulled her braided hair and put it behind her back to suppress her anger. “You don’t belong here, and you don’t know how to live here. Why are you so stubborn, and your family is not here?” she said.
“But you’re here.”
Adira was stunned by Prince Dylan’s words and did not know what he meant. They just stared at each other.
Simon suddenly spoke. “Are you two always fighting?”
“The young lady is always hot-headed to me.” Dylan’s complaint seemed to be a plea.
She couldn’t believe looking at him. “Don’t believe him, Simon. He does that even in training.”
Dylan widened his eyes at her. “You’re often angry with me, but I’m doing nothing.”
“What are you saying there?”
Dylan turned his gaze to Simon. “Is that the attitude of the young lady, sir?”
Simon winced when Dylan called him. “I’m sorry, prince, but that’s her behavior even here. She only has two habits: being serious and getting angry when she sees something wrong. Neither of those includes being nice to others, I guess.” Simon smiled hesitantly.
“Is there a reason why?”
Simon looked at Adira, who was looking at the other side of the room. “It’s natural for him, so I apologize.”
Dylan shook his head a few times. “Don’t ask for forgiveness; the young lady is the one to blame here.”
Adira suddenly looked at Prince Dylan with narrowed eyes.
“One more time that I hear It’s my fault, Dylan. I’ll make you swim in the sea back to your country.”
Prince Dylan frowned and looked away, while Simon just shook his head at the two while a small smile appeared on his lips.
